Backyard & Outdoor Living Magazine Small Gardens, Balconies & Courtyards #5 Special Issue

In Small Gardens, Balconies & Courtyards we show you how to use garden art and décor to create an outdoor room effect. How you decorate an outdoor area is especially important when you’re short on space as every element needs to be perfectly proportioned and carefully coordinated. We then turn the spotlight on two of the latest trends in outdoor design. The first is vertical gardens. Vertical gardens allow those with limited outdoor space to add greenery without taking up valuable floor or ground space. The second is in-built furniture. These are custom-designed pieces that maximise the available space and often do double duty, such as bench seats with lift-up ‘lids’ that reveal storage space below. This edition also showcases a diverse range of professionally designed balcony gardens, small backyards, roof terraces and urban courtyards.
