Landscape design for a 40-square-meter villa garden involves creating an aesthetically pleasing outdoor space that maximizes functionality within a limited area. Key considerations include selecting appropriate plants for small spaces, utilizing vertical gardening techniques, and incorporating elements like seating areas, pathways, and lighting to enhance the ambiance. The design should aim to create a harmonious blend of natural elements and architectural features, ensuring the garden complements the villa's style and offers a serene retreat.
