Living Large in a Smaller Space

When looking at your backyard you may be wondering what you can do to take it to the next level. How to make your backyard feel like a fancy resort, a five-star restaurant, or even like a mini public park. Trust me these aren't silly dreams. We can make them a reality.

Small space? No problem.

Want to take your backyard to the next level this year? Well, you can start with Cambridge Pavers! Catalogs and commercials tend to feature larger projects, but outdoor living rooms come in all shapes and sizes. All you need is a budget and an experienced contractor who can help make your dreams become a reality. Picking the right products and colors will make all the difference in creating a one-of-a-kind space regardless of the footprint.

The homeowners of this 20 x 24 backyard were able to get everything on their wish list by working with their contractor. Sticking with a neutral pallet and placing amenities on the property's parameter make the smaller space feel open & airy and not overstuffed. Delineating the bistro table area adds an extra element of design and charm. When entertaining, family and friends have a variety of places to utilize, so all the action is not happening in one area, making the space feel smaller. All of these little design decisions add up to a big difference when it comes to maximizing square footage.

“The Boutique Collection”

In the project above, the contractor chose to create many custom Cambridge pieces to fit the space perfectly. Sometimes custom can be more costly, so there are other options available for adding on components. Our "Boutique Collection" was created with smaller spaces in mind. We offer fireplaces, fire pits, and seating walls that will not overwhelm your space. Although petite in size, they still pack a punch in style. This collection could be just what your backyard needs!

Therefore, remember that size does not matter when building a better backyard. There are many ways to work with the space; you have to make it fun and functional! It is all about having a plan and working with skilled and experienced professionals who will help guide you in the right direction. Think big this year about outdoor living, even if your space is small.
