Vertical Gardens

I limited space, using vertical gardens can add greenery without taking up much room. You can hang planters on walls or use a trellis for climbing plants. This is perfect for growing flowers, herbs, or even vegetables. Such gardens are not only practical but also add a beautiful visual element to your garden corner.

Adding Lighting And Decorative Elements

Adding lights can create a magical atmosphere, especially in the evening. Use string lights or lanterns as they won’t occupy much space. Incorporate decorative elements such as garden statues, birdhouses, or wind chimes to add personality to the space.

Garden Corner Sitting Nooks

A sitting, sleeping, dining or relaxation nook is another great option for a garden corner, and here you will get your personal private space or a secret one to escape there from everybody. Choose the furniture according to the style of your garden, the size of the slot and your taste. Rattan and wicker furniture are the most popular options here, though metal furniture can last longer and it comes in bold modern designs, and wooden furniture will give that slight cottage feel that many of us love so much. You may also DIY some pallet furniture according to your needs or simple hang a hammock in the corner. A swinging daybed is classics, and if the weather is unpredictable in your place, consider a daybed with a roof over it. An arbor bench covered with blooming vines will turn your corner in a fairy-tale space. A fire pit and candle lanterns will cozy up the nook making it more welcoming. Get inspired!
