Clever ideas for tiny yard spaces

Faux hedges

If your outdoor patio or side yard is hemmed in by something like a chain-link or cinder block wall or planter box, consider installing a faux green hedge.

This is the perfect solution when you want to hide something while also adding some vibrancy to a small space. Plus, you can purchase a 24-pack of hedges and have them shipped directly to your door.

Mood lighting

If a space is small, rather than fighting with its boundaries, use them as an opportunity for coziness with candles, string lights, or tiki lights.

Paper lanterns are another affordable solution to suspend them from your patio ceiling. And while having lights in them is pretty, even if they’re empty the adjacent outdoor lights will make them glow and cast shadows.

Flexible furniture

Changes to even the smallest balcony or yard can have a big impact.

Before setting your plans in motion (and buying furniture that may not work), note that you want to make sure there is room to walk into and through the area. Try flex-furniture pieces that can be folded when not in use to keep the space from getting crowded.
