There are many ways to make small gardens appear bigger. Mirrors can be used on the walls to create the illusion of a larger garden. This creates double effects in small gardens, since water flowing into the mirror creates the illusion of a long canal. Water fountains and outdoor rugs can be added for visual interest. You can also make your garden appear larger by adding statues and fountains.
Perspective is another trick that can make a small garden appear larger. Perspective can fool the eye. By guiding it across the space, your small garden will seem larger and more spacious. An angular design element will make the garden appear bigger. It's possible to alter the orientation of the pavers. It creates a sense of depth and spaciousness. A mirror should be placed above the house's boundary to achieve this effect.
For a small garden, clever shapes can be used to make it appear bigger. Big circles can create the illusion of a longer garden. Keep the circles on the sides of the house smaller that those on the other. To add contrast, use bricks or cobbles to edge the circle to create a different look and feel. You can also make the circular design stand out by using different types of stones.
Vertical space is a great way to make a small garden appear larger. A garden's height is best highlighted by placing tall plants on its walls and/or other items. A pathway or patio should be included so your eye can move freely around the area. Your small garden will look larger than it actually does. Your small square garden can be made larger by proper planning.
A patio or bi-fold door can be placed on the sides to give the illusion that there is more space. The diagonal path will draw the eye around the whole area. Similarly, horizontal patios or sedge grass borders will also help you make your small square garden look bigger. Open spaces can be used to draw the eye throughout your space, increasing its value.
An illusion of movement and length can be created by a zig-zag-shaped path. This will create a sense that your garden is more spacious and mysterious. The curved path makes a small-sized garden appear bigger than it actually is. It will also add a sense of movement and make it feel more secluded. You should consider the color and texture of the plants that you are considering when designing your garden. To give your garden more space, use warm colors.
