Courtyard garden
An enclosed, sheltered room outdoors.
A courtyard is a garden with walls — sheltered, private and warm. The enclosure lets you treat it like an outdoor room: a single paved floor, planting in raised beds or pots, and one or two specimen plants doing the heavy lifting. Vertical greenery on the walls turns the boundaries into the garden itself.
Key features
Every Courtyard garden is built from a few signature elements. These are the details that define the look — and exactly what you drag onto your own 2D plan in LushAI, then render photorealistically.
- ✓A single, continuous paving so the small floor reads as one calm space
- ✓Wall planting and climbers to green the vertical surfaces
- ✓A multi-stem tree or large pot as a focal point
- ✓Built-in bench seating against a warm, sheltered wall
Colour palette
Warm neutrals and deep greens, lifted by one terracotta or rust accent.
