11. Play with colors to create visual effects

Contrasting colors always create depth for space, helping the house area look as spacious as possible. Therefore, do not be afraid to use bolder, more prominent colors. 

12. Combine a variety of plants

You can create a lush garden in a small area by placing small pots, larger trees and creepers on the wall. The combination of different green shades and colors will help your garden be more visually interesting. A path or walkway is also a nice addition to the landscape. 

13. Simple resting corner

Sometimes, the resting corner of the garden does not need to be too sophisticated, just a simple bench against the wall is more than enough and it's both economical and suitable for outdoor weather conditions.

14. Pay attention to the small details

With small gardens, you need little details, so you will need a perfectionist eye to make the garden perfect. From the layout of the different materials to the wall panels, the color scheme and the unique roof, notice that every detail of this design seems to be taken care of, showing the dedication of the designers. 

The standing garden is carefully arranged

Different from the vertical garden design, which is arranged randomly, this design displays the pots in a neat structure. The pergola shelter also adds a new look to this small garden. With small spaces, just focus on a few points, and do not be afraid to invest to make it as perfect as possible.
