A townhouse is a type of medium-density urban dwelling, usually, but not necessarily, terraced or semi-detached. A modern townhouse is often one with a small footprint on multiple floors. One might think that there is no place for nature in such a house, but there is not! We’ve rounded up some courtyard gardens to prove you wrong. Such a garden in the townhouse courtyard looks like a real oasis of relaxation, no matter what style you choose. You can opt for a Japanese-inspired garden, or a stylized garden with flower beds, or a completely wild one – the main idea is that you shouldn’t feel like you’re in the city center here, but like you’re in a forest. Be inspired by the following ideas!
garden design
City gardens are usually small or tiny. So keep in mind that your garden will look more like a patio or deck if you want furniture there. Choose the style and design you want and remember that the more texture and dimension you use, the smaller the garden will look. Therefore, choosing a minimalist and contemporary style is a very good idea. Neat lawns are ideal for freshening up the space and never going out of style. Wall units take up no space while keeping your space private while being refreshed. If you have moody plants, keep them in pots to bring indoors during inclement weather.
Choose hardscaping accordingly – pebbles, stone tiles, bricks or opt for a comfortable wooden deck. Fountains and ponds add harmony to any space. If you can, you can choose one.
garden furniture
The furniture (if any) should match your decorating style, be it shabby chic, contemporary, minimalist or other. Wicker and rattan never go out of style, emphasizing that it is an outdoor space. Built-in furniture saves a lot of space and may also offer a lot of storage space. Get inspired!
