If you thought that having a small garden was not worth taking care of, let me tell you that you are wrong because there is much to do in your home. The first thing is to measure the dimensions of your garden and then observe everything that is present in it. There are simple, easy-to-apply tricks that will help make your garden look bigger.

One of the most important aspects is to verify if the garden is surrounded by walls or if it is open. If there are walls it is very important that they are hidden as cement tends to shrink the spaces. The vines are vital in these cases and great allies to hide the walls. You can choose the variety that you like the most, always trying to cover all the walls in order to create the feeling of green continuity. If you want better results, you can paint the walls green before laying the vine, and this will help create a sense of depth.

The sectorization is also effective to create a feeling of spaciousness so you can divide the garden in two, a green area and the other with furniture to enjoy the place comfortably. If you place chairs, remember that they are low as high chairs obstruct the view while reducing the space. On the other hand, try that the furniture is of a natural color so that it blends with the landscape. Although the idea is to create a differentiated sector, do not overload the area, a small table and two chairs will suffice to create the sector.

Plants in a small garden

The variety of plants for a small garden depends a little on the personal taste of its owner but it is also advisable to take into account the size of the plants. It is always good to have some shrubs that are not too big to dye the garden green and the same happens with the lawn, which, unlike the tile or ceramic floor, always extends the surface. In some corner you can place some pots with different types of flowers of different colors since this will help create different points of interest, something that also helps the garden look bigger.

Avoid trees or those species that grow too large and opt for low plants, succulents, cacti and also those plants that grow in clumps and give a lot of green but at the same time are not too big.

Finally, the luminaire will end up defining the space and, if appropriate, giving spaciousness. The points of light in the corners are very effective if it is to enlarge the garden so take this detail into account when design a small garden
