If you've learned anything while browsing through homify, it's that practicality and functionality go hand-in-hand with beauty and not all projects are left to the professionals

Homeowners that are lucky enough to have garden space should use it to the best of their abilities considering they can provide colour, an enjoyable outdoor space and plenty of vegetation and herbs.  The best approach to any garden is one of both aesthetics and function – carefully choosing colours, the level of maintenance you want and your budget are all factors you should consider! Let's crack on with those tips…

Relief

Wondering what a relief is? It's a type of sculpture that is taken or lifted from a particular surface. Why not consider a great relief near the entryway of your home?  The multiple levels of this entryway, plus the different heights of greenery create a rather dramatic, yet minimalist effect.

Small landscape

A mini-landscaping project can easily be completed in one weekend and can be a fun DIY challenge! The best chances for success will include combining multiple materials, textures and colours.  That means raw stone, different colours and textures of plants and any sculptural elements you might wish to add.

Don't forget that even the smallest of gardens can be fun, practical and beautiful to make. Tiny gardens are particularly easy to copy as well!

Flowery input

Whether or not your wish for your garden to solely be for function (herbs, vegetables, and fruits) you can still include various flowers for aesthetic appeal. If you're looking for a low-maintenance solution to adding flowers, grab a packet of random wildflowers from your local garden center and spread them in healthy soil with lots of water and sun. The randomness will look effortless!

Flowers are great – in Malaysia, consider a more tropical-style garden!

Paved-way

Add an interesting and unique paved-way to the entrance of your home. Not only will this be a grand statement for the exterior of your home, it will also be a lasting impression on any guests that step foot on your lawn.

Consider different stones, colours and textures and if you're really feeling creative then experiment with different laying patterns, too.

Stone garden

Rock gardens can be completed quickly and provide a cooler exterior that is incredibly low-maintenance. For the best results, install an anti-weed sheath before pouring the rocks to make sure the garden will remain free and clear for seasons to come. Cacti and succulents are the best options for rock gardens (as seen here) and sculptural elements as well.

Don't forget, here at homify we have a multitude of ways to design, create and execute a perfect garden right in the privacy of your own home. Just take a look these thirteen small gardens that are easy to copy!
