Gardens in London properties in zone 1 & 2 can be as small as 8m2. Many of us feel lucky to have a garden at all! The main tips include keeping things to a simple colour palette, with light coloured fencing and natural wood. Sticking to clean lines, creating different levels and making the best use of vertical space are also helpful tips. With the grass, either leave it long, swap it for artificial turf, or break it up with wooden decking. Consider horizontal and vertical stripes for paving in the same way you would with your wardrobe, to broaden or lengthen the garden area. A couple of oversized planters, filled with simple, broad petalled blooms, will help create the illusion of space.
Bearing that in mind, here are some tips from wayfair.co.uk to make the most of a small garden.
