Small garden: 6 acres of ideas

You can live happily ever after on six acres, if you dispose of them correctly. The main principle is restraint in everything.

Garden 6 ares

Colours

Don’t use all the colors of the rainbow at once. Limit yourself to one, maximum two. Dutch designer Dirk Beyer recommends black and white. This solution is suitable for a modern “geometric” garden.

Materials

Variety in the decoration of the walls of the house, fencing of flower beds and paths will lead to chaos. If you don’t like hard contours and smooth surfaces, use the plaster spray technique. This will help mitigate them.

Plants

Forget about flower beds where everything blooms at once. Limit the number of plants severely, choosing only the most spectacular. They should please the eye (shape, structure or color of the leaves) not only during the flowering period, but all season long.

Pots and pots

They should all be exactly the same in design, but their dimensions may vary. Therefore, look for a model that comes in different sizes – from small to large.

Reservoirs

Even a tiny artificial pond has enormous decorative potential. Contemplation of the shiny water surface distracts from the hustle and bustle and gives peace. And this is what we are looking for in the garden!

House

Look back at him often. Sharp contrasts between architecture and landscape are undesirable.
