There are plenty of ideas to landscape your garden when the space is open and unrestricted. The trouble generally arises when the gardens are not very big. There is not much help you would be able to gather for your small little garden. But by keeping a few minor tips in mind you could successfully transform your garden into a masterpiece.

If you wish to plant flowers or other plants but are worried that the children might just step on all your flower beds because the garden is not very big, you could go in for raised flower beds. Since fencing is not a solution you could opt for, make sure that you raise your flower beds appropriately.

You could also put to use the very creative colour theory to enhance the look of your garden. Yes, no matter how weird it may sound but a major part of the success of landscaping depends upon how well you play with colours. In fact the colours could influence your state of mind as well. This is the reason that when people wish to make relaxing corners in their yards for meditation, they rely heavily on the use of colours. Also, if this knowledge of colours is implemented well, not only will your garden seem very attractive, but will also look bigger. By creative play of colours, you could create attractive corners that grab the onlooker’s attention immediately.

The use of orange, red and yellow is known to excite the viewer and these colours are generally called the warm colours. When it comes to blue, purple and green, they help you to unwind and relax. These are generally referred to as the cool colours of the spectrum. Thus, if you wish to create a space for meditation, selecting purple or blue flowers would be an ideal choice. Red would not be recommended if your garden is a small one because red gives an impression of closed spaces and the spaces seem to come closer when the boundaries are painted in red. But this effect of colour could be utilised in case you wish to create some focal point.

This colour has a natural attention grabbing property. Another trip could be to make use of effective contrast so that all the colours stand out uniquely. In this case, yellow and purple could be used in close proximity. If you do not wish to create such sharp contrasts, you could make use of some transition colours in mediation.

Rest, not only the colour needs to be considered, but a lot also depends upon what is the plant that you are growing exactly. The kind of flowers and plants you select and the foliage you desire would shape the garden accordingly. Also, make sure that you have separate plantation plans specific to the different seasons so that your garden is an attractive spot the entire year around. So play with colours, plants, and creativity to make the best out of your space.
