Even a small plot can become a modern courtyard with a few tricks. Use them to transform a small area into an urban oasis.
Modern Courtyard Design – Tricks from the Professionals
Although a small courtyard may seem like a huge challenge at first, the space actually has great advantages. It is usually protected from prying eyes, while high walls and the house shelter it from wind. Where else could you create such a cozy corner? Our advice is to plan the transformation step by step. Begin with concrete or wooden flooring. Then add a green wall, choosing plants that need little space, such as succulents. Only after that should you think through the lounge area itself. A small bench and folding table are perfect if you want to save space. Do not forget a water wall: the water absorbs street noise and relaxes the senses. That is how you create the modern courtyard.
How to Build the Perfect Patio
Want to make the perfect patio after you have already chosen the right flooring, selected the plants, and bought the seating? One thing is still missing: lighting. Recessed lights can be installed between the plants and in the ground, making the new backyard oasis beautiful in the evening. Our advice: solar lights are a great alternative if you want to save on energy costs.
