Making the Most of Your Smaller Outdoor Living Space

Working with a smaller outdoor living area may seem limiting, but it can still be beautiful. This guide will show you how to maximise space and make the most of your outdoor living furniture sets.  

Get Planting 

Whether you’re working with a garden, patio or balcony, a small outdoor living space should not mean small ambition. Planting is a great way to bring to life any outdoor space, regardless of size. In even the tiniest outdoor living areas, it’s possible to grow a wide range of plants and herbs, creating a beautiful outdoor space you can enjoy year-round.  

In this regard, smaller spaces for outdoor living furniture sets benefit from simplicity; easy to care for, hardworking plants are best at bringing a space to life.  

Compact, contemporary planters like Hanbury planters are ideal for slightly larger blooms and trees. Available in four sizes, the Hanbury outdoor planter is a versatile planter featuring convenient internal height adjustable settings variable to the particular species of plant you’re planting. Made from powder-coated galvanised steel, Hanbury is durable, stylish, and has a unique lifetime warranty for added peace of mind.  

Keep Things Tidy 

Keeping your outdoor space tidy is essential, no matter the size. Our handy, smaller storage solutions are a great option to reduce clutter, maximising storage without encroaching on the space around your outdoor living furniture sets.  

Contemporary in design, the Chartley metal deck box is functional yet roomy, has a generous 500L capacity, and has a sleek aesthetic that blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Constructed from durable, powder-coated galvanised steel, Chartley is entirely maintenance-free, providing year-round protection from the weather. The perfect space to store smaller items worry-free.  

Vertical storage units like Weston are also an excellent option for narrower outdoor spaces. Easily placed against a wall, this cupboard-style storage gives the ease of access of a shed without the footprint, offering plenty of versatile storage without encroaching on your outdoor living space. 

Lighten Up 

Lighting can also help create the illusion of a larger space for your outdoor living furniture sets. Garden lighting extends the use of your outdoor area into the evening. It creates a lovely scene for you to enjoy from indoors. Consider adding lighting to your outdoor area to create a cosy atmosphere and make your space feel bigger.
