"I feel it has the opposite effect as it takes up more space but definitely gives you a more open feel."

"A living wall can be a great addition to a garden, especially a small one, and is often used to help make a garden look bigger than it actually is. You can also try to plant vertically, paint walls in lighter shades (especially blue), or install shelving."

"Yes it can do so long as you don't make the structures too big. One of the best ways of making a small garden look bigger is the use of strategically based mirrors"

"Yes, the outside wall will stand out, as it people from the street will only see the wall if the wall if big they will automatically think the garden is also big"

"I believe it can depending on the growth of it as it growing outwards will obviously make your garden smaller 😉"

"Yes a living wall can make a space look bigger and natural’especially effect as a high boundary fence or attached to a wall as well as adding height to a small space would also creat more room for storage and other structures or features
