Introduction
Don’t let limited space hold you back. Small gardens have enormous potential when smart design meets quality craftsmanship. Whether you’re dreaming of a compact garden office, a multifunctional storage space, or a cozy summerhouse, LPS Garden Buildings offers solutions that make the most of every square metre. In this article, we explore how to maximise small gardens with intelligent planning and tailored structures.
Understanding Your Space
Before any structure is built, it’s crucial to evaluate your space. Measure your garden, note where the sun hits during the day, and consider access points and surrounding views. These details will help you decide the best placement and orientation for your building.
Design Principles for Small Gardens
1. Multi-Functionality Combine uses in a single structure. For example, a garden office can include integrated storage or even a pull-out guest bed.
2. Vertical Space Use walls for shelving, hooks, or foldable furniture to save floor space.
3. Light and Air Maximise natural light with glass doors or windows. Ventilation is also key to prevent condensation in smaller buildings.
4. Streamlined Aesthetics Stick to minimal designs that don’t overwhelm the space. Neutral colours, sleek lines, and clean finishes enhance the feeling of openness.
Popular Small Garden Solutions
1. Compact Garden Offices Ideal for remote work, even in tight spaces. Choose a narrow, elongated design that fits along a fence or boundary.
2. Corner Summerhouses Make the most of unused corners with stylish structures that provide shade and storage.
3. Combination Units Split structures with one half as a shed and the other as a relaxing garden room are ideal for multi-purpose use.
