However small the garden in which your garden studio is situated may be, you have various choices when it comes to its design, of course, consistent with your garden studio decor and with the soil and climate. Traditional or rustic-styled garden studios require a cottage garden, looking gay and diverse with its multitude of flowers. Its small size may be in fact a benefit, because it allows you to work on all its details and also because the garden can be viewed all at once, like a painting on a wall. In short, a small garden has the advantage that it can be kept fully under control.
If you want a romantic English garden, notwithstanding its limited size, you can use small tips such as alternating plants of different heights, types and shapes, letting them untrimmed and irregular. But if you want a classic look for your garden, you have to keep it orderly, harmonious and to mark it with tidy pathways, imparting a feel of balance and direction.
If its soil is rather sandy, particularly, if your garden studio has a modern, minimalist aspect, you can opt for a Japanese garden, in which plants are to be completed by water and stone. A private garden building, whose cantilevered roof looks like a shell and whose sliding door opens quietly and smoothly towards outdoors, would be suited to perfection by a Japanese garden, a genuine embodiment of seclusion, shade and mystery.
By comparison with the unsurprising cottage garden that can be seen as a whole at one look, this garden, however small, could be discovered only gradually, if you used some tips such as a meandering pathway or forming garden rooms. A tiny water fountain appearing at once at a turn would come as a surprise. For your pathways, you can use also boulders of different dimensions and textures. And, instead of colorful flowers, you can have just some dark bushes here and there or a couple of cherry trees or pine-trees.
While a cottage garden is sure to cheer you up with its color, dynamism and buoyancy, a Japanese garden, given its undeniable serenity and elegant simplicity may have, on the contrary, a soothing effect, relaxing you after working, inducing meditation or even sleepiness or dreaminess. Therefore, whether you opt for a plainly natural garden or one enhanced by architecture, landscaping is important for your garden studio, contributing to a better mood, more pleasure or increased peace of mind.
