How to design the first floor courtyard, which is both beautiful and practical?

In fact, you didn't know that the first floor with a courtyard is also more popular than the top floor with a terrace. Lin Yutang said: "There is a courtyard in the house, a house in the garden, a courtyard in the house, a tree in the courtyard, and reading in the sky. Is it fast! " The courtyard he wrote is probably the living dream of modern people.

So how to design the courtyard on the first floor? First of all, what is best for your first floor yard? If you are not good at taking care of flowers and plants, then your yard should not be made into a vegetable garden or garden. It's a good idea for Bian Xiao to expand it into a living room.

Compared with the house with terrace on the top floor, the courtyard on the first floor faces many problems such as insufficient lighting, no privacy, humidity, no sound insulation, ground decoration, lighting and so on. How nice it would be to make the yard practical and beautiful through design! Today, according to the characteristics of the courtyard on the first floor, I will teach you how to build a beautiful and practical courtyard.

There is a yard on the first floor. What is it used for?

Leisure area+garden

The courtyard on the first floor can be used as a small garden for family members to relax daily. The courtyard on the first floor is not as private as the courtyard of the villa. Plants, flowers and rocks can be set in the courtyard to enjoy the natural landscape.

If you want to build a leisure garden, you should choose fewer but better plants. According to the growth habits of plants, it is best to combine trees, shrubs and surface vegetation to make the courtyard have scenery in all seasons.

Compared with the villa courtyard, the sunshine time on the first floor courtyard is shorter, so in the choice of flowers, it is advisable to plant shade-tolerant flowers, such as Hosta, Camellia, Phoenix, hydrangea and Chinese rose.

In addition, making a flower border will add a lot of color to the courtyard. You can choose to be a woody flower border. Woody flower border is dominated by shrubs, supplemented by trees, herbs and perennial plants. The purpose of this is to make the flower border easy to maintain and have scenery in all seasons.

Leisure area+vegetable garden

Friends who have lived in the city for a long time all yearn for the happiness of farmers. If you have a yard at home, it is also a good choice to grow vegetables in your spare time, except weeding. The vegetables in the yard are not only beautiful, but also can be picked and eaten by your family.

Grow vegetables in your own yard, and you can enjoy the joy of harvest in your own yard when the harvest is good. ......

Living room expansion space

If your family is not good at taking care of flowers and plants, you can turn the courtyard into an extension area of living room leisure, and configure some outdoor furniture with simple flowers and plants, and an open-air entertainment and leisure place will be born.

It is good to set tables and chairs, match tea sets, or make a sink for leisure.

How to improve the privacy of the first floor courtyard?

I believe that one of the reasons why many small partners are afraid to buy the first floor is that its privacy is not enough, which makes people feel insecure. In fact, when designing the courtyard, we can plant some trees and vines along the boundary of the courtyard, or place structures with appropriate height (such as guardrails) to enhance the privacy of the courtyard.

1. Use the guardrail around the yard to improve privacy.

If you want to make the yard private and closed, you can add a simple grid fence around it and plant some vines, which is beautiful and can ensure privacy.

In addition, some low shrubs (such as densely planted roses, Spiraea, Ligustrum lucidum, etc. ) and climbing plants (such as Parthenocissus tricuspidata, climbing roses, honeysuckle, etc. ) can be planted under the guardrail, which is more helpful to improve the privacy of the courtyard.

2. Planting green plants in layers to improve privacy.

Planting plants around the yard will block people's sight, and these plants should be mainly evergreen plants to prevent the yard from being effectively blocked in autumn and winter. In addition, the height and size of plants should be matched and selected according to the size and style of their own courtyard.

3. Garden flower stands improve privacy.

If you are worried about throwing objects at high altitude, you can set up flower stands in the courtyard on the first floor to achieve safety and privacy protection. Under the flower stand, you can climb the plants with seeds. For example, wisteria can be planted. Wisteria is strong and tough, which can counteract and stop falling objects. You can also set up a canopy to keep out the wind and rain and ensure safety.

How to decorate the courtyard ground on the first floor?

What about the ground of the first floor yard? In fact, this should be comprehensively selected according to personal budget, hobbies and main functions of the yard. Don't ignore the actual demand for beauty, and put the functional experience first.

The common materials on the yard floor are: outdoor tiles, granite, slate, terrazzo floor, pebbles, rain flower stones, blue bricks and anticorrosive wood. ......

The durability of ceramic tile mainly depends on its excellent physical properties and simple laying technology, which is also the reason why it is suitable for outdoor space.

Granite is mostly used for paving the edges of leisure platforms, garden roads, courtyard floors and roads in the courtyard.

Because of its natural texture, blue brick gives people an ancient and natural feeling, and is usually used as a courtyard floor pavement. It can be laid in various forms, such as lawn or stone. ......

How to design the lighting of the courtyard on the first floor?

The yard is a place for us to relax. Outdoor lighting is essential when a family eats or gets together in the yard on a sunny night. Although there are lights in general residential areas, the lighting tailored for your yard will make the outdoor space more charming and let the courtyard space be decided by you at any time.

In order to be safe at night, path lights and step lights are very necessary. Embedded deck lights are relatively easy to install, which will highlight the deck edge and lateral changes, which is both romantic and safe.

Lighting can be arranged under the main plants in the yard, which not only makes the plants more stereoscopic, but also increases the mysterious atmosphere of the yard.
