Maximizing Space
The key to enjoying a small outdoor space is maximizing the space you have. Use multi-use furniture to provide seating and storage. A bench with a storage compartment underneath can provide seating and storage for outdoor items. Look for furniture that can be folded up and stored when not in use. If you have a balcony or other small outdoor space, a foldable table and chairs can be used for outdoor dining or entertaining.
Adding Color
Adding bright colors to a small outdoor space can make it feel larger. Choose bright colors for outdoor furniture and accessories to add a pop of color. Use planters to add color and texture to the space. Add colorful cushions to outdoor furniture for a comfortable and inviting outdoor area.
Creating an Outdoor Room
Creating a sense of an outdoor room is possible even in a small outdoor space. Use an outdoor rug to define the area. Place furniture in a way that creates a sense of an outdoor living room. Add a few accessories to complete the look.
Lighting
Lighting can make a small outdoor space feel larger and more inviting. Use string lights to create a cozy atmosphere. Place lights around the perimeter of the space to create a sense of a larger area.
Privacy
Privacy is important in any outdoor space. Even if you have a small space, you can create a sense of privacy. Use fencing or tall plants to create a sense of privacy. If you have a balcony, use a privacy screen to create a sense of privacy.
Creating an outdoor space in a small area doesn’t have to be difficult. With a few creative ideas and planning, you can turn your small outdoor space into an oasis of relaxation and fun. Outdoor activities can be enjoyed in a small outdoor space, no matter the size.
