The modest size of your outdoor living area should not stop you from enjoying almost all the things you could normally do in a space of generous size, and if you take into account the following ideas, you should be able to create the impression of a larger space.
· Provide personality to your outdoor living area, with the right style
Think of your little yard as an outdoor room, where you want to relax, eat and welcome your loved ones. Many of the design rules that apply to a small home also apply to the design of a small outdoor living area, so the first element you need to establish is the decorative style.
· Optically enlarge the space
You can create a false perspective by drawing borders that seem to move away from the center. Additionally, in order to optically enlarge the space, you have to exploit the effect of the natural perspective, which makes the objects in the distance appear smaller.
· Choose the right outdoor furniture
Avoid massive, bulky pieces and opt, instead, for multifunctional garden furniture.
· Choose colors in natural shades
Natural, light shades create the impression of a larger and airy space. Avoid combining too many colors, as this will visually load your outdoor living area. For pillows and other textiles, focus on simple prints or opt for small color accents, to brighten up the space.
