Limited space should not keep homeowners from making use of their backyards, not least because smart use can mitigate the severity of the problem.
Here are 6 tips for small backyards:
- Minimizing clutter is essential to ensuring the best use of limited space. This applies to elements incorporated into the space as much as its movable contents.
- A combination of built-ins and furniture can separate even the smallest backyard into dedicated areas for cooking, dining, socializing, and the like.
- Such barriers can also be used to enclose the space, which has the positive effects of emphasizing its coziness and making it more like a room.
- Use the backyard as an extension of indoor space. For example, if your kitchen is too small, set up a cooking area in your backyard to make up for the lack.
- Landscape to scale. This means purchasing furniture with smaller dimensions as well as planting bushes and grasses rather than trees.
- Using a single surface material can serve to unite the space. Consider using the same material as the rest of the premises for an even stronger effect.
