How to design a very small garden?
A small garden will look bigger if you can’t see everything at once. Divide up your garden using flowerbeds, screens or hedges to break up the space. The fact that it has different areas or sections will also make your garden more interesting to look at. This division of space works well in tiered gardens too. But in actual fact, the most important part of a garden is the bit you can’t see. It’s the build-up beneath the features that bring you so much joy. If you’ve ever had your outdoor space professionally landscaped, you’ll know how much work goes into bringing a garden design to life.
How to take good photos of a garden?
Your garden is a great place to experiment with the contrast between harsh light and deep shade, or dappled light filtering through nearby hedges, trees and foliage. But watch your highlights and the brighter areas of your image to avoid overexposing the most reflective parts of your subject. Want to make your garden feel bigger? Go for a neutral fence colour. Light shades like white, beige, cream, or light grey reflect natural light and help to open up the space. They blend seamlessly into the background, keeping the focus on your garden and making it feel brighter and more spacious.
