14 small garden ideas that will help inspire you

1. Between the garage and the entrance

This garden occupies a neutral space between the entrance to the house and the garage, a space that is not very useful from a functional point of view but can be used very well as a garden. The stone that delimits the space is used in the same size and shape so as not to distract attention from the whole. The combination of stones and colors creates a beautiful contrast.

2. An area between the driveway and the terrace

In this corner where the path and the wall delimit the space, a turning point with color has been reached. Potted flowers will always be a main element in the design of a garden. In this image we see, it is possible to differentiate the dense garden from the side terrace of the house, thanks to that note of color that the flowers give.

3. A natural source

This design, with a bamboo fountain, is a very original and creative detail for this small garden. The stone base contrasts in color and texture with the large stones and the tub that acts as a fountain. Furthermore, in a design like this you can include various species of plants which further enhance its natural appearance.

4. A garden with wooden flooring

What do you think of this home entrance project? A wooden floor and the edge of the flowerbed of the same material. The contrast is given by the white stone and an original plant design, in plants of different shapes and heights. Stones and small sculptures can be the ideal complement for this modern garden.

5. Symmetrical design

In this small space, symmetry and right angles are complicit in the design. You can use grass as shown in this image or you can replace it with a climbing plant. In this case the plate is low, so as to harmonize with the whole.

6. A very special look

This project was achieved by creating a stone path that connects the outline of the garden with the plant areas. The focal point is the fountain, complemented by a small bonsai. The height of the plants is taken into account, always positioning the tallest one on the wall and decreasing in height until the smaller ones are positioned in front of all the others.

7. A garden with a bench

Climbing plants are the axis of design in this corner. The combination of these plants surrounding the space for the base of the bench is a typical detail of the gardens of Versailles. You can play with the color of the climbing plants and the color of the pots to give the design more interest.

8. Cookware only

You can brighten up any corner of your garden with pots. Made from different materials, they give you the opportunity to play with colors and textures. Choose plants based on the height that best suits you so that they harmonize with the design of the space.

9. Bamboo planks

How beautiful to contemplate this planter structure designed with bamboo trunks! At different heights and with different shapes, it adapts perfectly to the space, adding the touch of originality it needed.

10. A round idea

When you think of setting up a round garden, remember that the plants in the center must be tall and decrease in height towards the edges. With the stone, shapes are defined that contribute to the creation of the design. Place plants that have the same treatment in terms of watering and fertilization so that their care keeps the garden healthy.

11. Between the floor and the wall

In this image we present different types of planters. Some are more elaborate, incorporated and almost merge with the wall on which they are hung, others are more generic, on the floor, but very well defined in size and colour.

12. Modern, with stones

The order of this garden is symmetrical and is also distinguished by the considerable size of the stones present on the ground which act as a base. If you will use wood to make vases, remember to waterproof them very well inside.

13. Like a wave

In some gardens, cutting small trees, shaping their branches, is a popular idea. As can be seen in this garden project, plants that have been shaped by cutting and others whose shape seems natural are combined. These contrasts make the design of the small garden interesting, covering the base with stones and delimiting the space like a sort of wave.
