Obviously, the primary problem of the courtyard is space, so we should start with the most space-saving method. Taking this backyard as an example, the terrace of the flower bed is used as the chair back of the bench, which saves a lot of space and can also place a long table. The trees in the flower bed are littered with branches, and the light passes through the gap on the top of the board, which makes this small space full of green not depressed at all.

Use local materials

The wooden chair and the specially built rattan frame set each other off in harmony, and the consistent impression of materials and colors makes this small courtyard exude a natural atmosphere.

Clever use of contrast

The round oversized porcelain jar constitutes the visual focus in the courtyard, and at the same time sets off the flower bed table as an extra seat, which has both decorative and functional design, killing two birds with one stone.

Introduce tap water

The addition of waterscape will bring unexpected effects to the courtyard. The edge of the garden is provided with a stepped rectangular long and narrow pool, and the bottom of the pool is paved with stones, which can well reduce the noise of the city.

Planting flowers and plants

Only flowers and trees or perennial flowers are often planted in the courtyard; Courtyards with young children should be paved with lawns, toys can be placed, and some colorful annual and biennial flowers and bulbous plants should be planted; If someone in the family is interested in plant conservation and management, they can plant some seasonal flowers to create a perfect ornamental garden.
