When you live
in a small apartment like me, you adopt any outdoor space as an extension of
your home. One of the things that sold us on our current apartment was the cute
little Juliet balcony off the living room. After years of living in apartments
that had no outdoor living spaces, we jumped at the chance to have a little
piece of the outside we could call our own. Even though the space is teeny
tiny, we’ve made every square foot functional creating a seating area for two
and planting a vertical garden. Do you have an outdoor space that you want to
make the most of? Here are some tips for turning your small space into an
outdoor oasis:

Climbing Trellis
The tiny
courtyard at the home of the interior designer Helen Green comprises of
simple but elegant touches: a trellis of roses, a feature stone water plinth
and plants potted in a variety of vessels, from wooden crates to wicker baskets
and pewter milk pails.
Open Plan
Full-length
bi-fold doors create a seamless meeting of the interior and exterior at this
nineteenth-century Kensington townhouse and using similarly toned flooring adds
to this continuous effect - a clever trick with colour that
creates the illusion of space.

The
trick to making use of any small space is to consider how every inch might work
practically. Here, a sheltered spot provides the perfect dining area (because,
let's face it, alfresco dinners can often be interrupted by rain showers) and
the Juliet balcony offers support to a rattan swing chair.
Modern Materials
This Kensington property was given a modern interior refurbishment and the garden was designed to reflect this. Formal lines were combined with contemporary materials like glass and stainless steel, and for a low-maintenance lawn, grass was replaced with artificial turf.
Clean Lines
This city garden is party-ready. A bespoke barbeque is located a level down, near the kitchen, while the upper level features a basalt-clad fireplace and comfortable lounge seating. The combination of smart hard-wood flooring, the clean lines of the furniture and the Italian-designed lighting give the space a contemporary vibe.
