How to make a wide shallow garden look longer

4 replies

happyguineapig · 09/05/2018 12:01

I have a wide garden with very little depth. It has a patio in front of the house and to the side and s large summerhouse at the end which is slightly at an angle because the garden is irregular shape

I've attached a terrible not to scale diagram!

How can I make it look longer or otherwise design it better?

In the middle is a square bit of grass

I'm no garden designer but I found this online:

And also a list of perspective tricks you can look into using:

Sounds like an exciting project, do share photos of how it all goes later on. Thanks

Plant blues and off whites at the back rather than bright hot colours. Hot colours seem to come towards you.
