backyard city
As a Senior Writer at Apartment Therapy, Nancy splits her time among looking at beautiful pictures, writing about design, and photographing stylish apartments in and around NYC. It’s not a bad gig.
When I look at this backyard design by Sawyer Berson, I can almost hear the sound of the fountain. What better place to relax after a stressful day?
Tall trees add a dreamy element to this Manhattan backyard from Dwell. The high walls make this backyard into a world its own, and the little fountain ensures that city sounds are far away.

The separate, square planter areas add a bit of a formal element to this city backyard from Foras Studio, but also provide a place to wander. Within the designated squares, tall grasses and flowering bushes add a touch of wildness.
This backyard from Gardenista has a bit of a wilder aspect, but is no less inviting. The vegetable garden makes this space both pretty and practical.
Lush greenery creates a lovely contrast to a modern townhome addition by Resolution: 4 Architecture. A fieldstone wall adds a rustic touch.

This side yard from Planete Deco looks like an inviting spot to while away an afternoon. Multiple levels mean plenty of spots for planters, and visually expand the small space.
With the right design, even an especially narrow backyard can be inviting, as evidenced by this project from Garden Club London, via Houzz. There are a few different kinds of planting areas, and a table with benches from which to enjoy it all.
In this backyard spotted on Desire to Inspire, there’s space for entertaining, but also room to wander. As you move toward the back of the yard, the landscape becomes progressively wilder, enhancing the sense of discovery.

Staring up at the trees in this Brooklyn backyard from Gardenista, you could almost forget you’re in the city entirely. The patio area creates an outdoor room within view of the greener elements of the yard.

Falkenberg Garden City
This backyard from We Design isn’t quite as fancy as some of the others—but the lush lawn and overarching trees make it no less inviting. That kid sprawled out on the grass has got the right idea.It's summer in the city, which means there's bound to be an outdoor party around any corner! Every city girl needs a chill area to unwind and have fun after a long, hectic day, and your backyard or patio can be the perfect spot. If you've got the space, who says you can't have a real backyard in a concrete jungle?
If you plan on having company, or just want to soak up some sun solo, chairs are a must! Comfy lawn chairs are great for tanning, and cute wicker or metal chairs are great for dinner and lounging. Tip: little seat cushions are always a great idea for comfort (and they're cute!)
What good would a backyard be without some pretty lights to enhance the vibe?! Our favorites are string lanterns that you can hang on just about anything, but tea lights (or even Christmas lights) are a great alternative. This will instantly give your space a magical feel that will make anyone feel at home.

Just like lights, candles are a great idea for lighting and setting the mood for your space. They also work as a great bug repellent (citronella candles in particular), which is necessary in any outdoor space!
The essential item for any backyard or garden: plants and flowers! If you're limited on space, a plant "rack" or wall is a great way to display your green friends, while giving them sun exposure as well. Some easy plants and flowers to grow in your little backyard are mint, marigolds, and lavender. All of them are fairly easy to grow and maintain, plus they're beautiful!
Ahh, the hammock; our favorite way to chill out in the summer. Get yourself a hammock and some sturdy poles to tie it to, and you're ready to hang! Add a little pillow for some extra comfort.
