Ways To Make Your Garden Look Larger

One undeniable fact when it comes to urban living is the availability of space

. These days houses, apartments, and flats seem to only get smaller, and that also means that the outdoor area is smaller as well. Most new homeowners are also going for smaller houses because they're more cost-efficient in terms of maintenance. But if you love the outdoors and want to have a little of that at home with you, a smaller yard or backyard can be a challenge. Don't despair, though. These days there are a lot of things you can do to make your garden appear larger than it really is.

The human eye is fairly easy to fool when it comes to perspective and proportions. By knowing the basic principles, it should be easy enough for you to make your garden appear like it goes on forever. And some of these principles are similar to those applied in interior spaces, so if you know what to do to make a small room larger, it's fairly easy to apply it to an outdoor space. For example, lighter colors on the walls of a small room can make it appear larger. So by keeping lighter or cooler colors on the edges of your garden and stronger colors in the middle will draw the eye to the center and make the edges of your garden virtually disappear.

Playing with height and levels is another way that you can make your garden look bigger than it really is. By adding climbers that can disguise the "walls" of your garden, you can make it look bigger. You can also add trees but make sure that the trees you choose grow up and not out, so they don't take up too much space. There's also a Japanese technique that makes use of size as well. By placing larger plants in front and smaller plants in the back, which is how the human eye sees things that are far away, you can make it look like the edges of your garden are farther away.

Make sure that everything inside your garden is proportional to the actual size of it. Just like in a small room, large pieces of outdoor furniture or large plants can overpower your garden. So make sure that you choose plants and furniture that is the right size. If you're planning on building decks or shaded seating areas, make sure they're the right size as well.

Brisbane landscaping in your own backyard can be a fun and enjoyable project for any homeowner. But if you're not up to doing it yourself, you might want to hire a professional. They'll help you plan out your garden and give you plant options that will work depending on your tastes.
