Supersize the Garden

Even the tiniest of spaces can be effectively utilised to create whatever look is sought

. Well placed log cabins needn't crowd the garden, thoughtfully designed climbing frames can avoid the garden being a kids-only zone, and solicitous placement of the good old garden shed could bring a little garden to life.

Contemporary Gardens

The contemporary garden is built around lines, flat colour palettes and simplicity. Clearing the garden of clutter is essential. Decking helps to create the illusion of boundaries, whilst a small garden shed is a wonderful tool to pack away garden furniture (only simple, clean lines and styles) and tools to aid the fluid style of the space.

Fun

Fun gardens are generally those with kids in. A brilliant activity to involve the kids in their own little world is simple painting the garden shed or wooden climbing frame creates a wonderful colour palette to live in, and camouflages larger items a little. Some garden furniture companies' offer bespoke climbing frames to utilise the strange shapes and diminutive sizes of some gardens.

Traditional

The traditional English country garden isn't usually in a Hackney backstreet, but who cares. Teak planters stuffed with perennials and seasonal blooms are a beautiful way to create boundaries, draw attentions to features and redo it all easily on a whim! Teak or iron furniture (particularly anything that can be folded away) is wonderfully conventional.

Oriental

Similarly to the contemporary garden, the oriental garden should radiate simplicity. Stepping stones through a tiny sea of pebbles, a subtle water feature tinkling away, even a small gazebo on some decking (complete with paper lanterns) exudes the calmness and tranquillity desired.

Small spaces needn't be boring white walls, a little decking, and so on will go a long way to create a happy, suitable atmosphere for the garden without overdoing it.
