Use plants to create corners. A few large pots with grasses, herbs or shrubs can make even a small yard feel softer. I would rather buy fewer bigger planters than ten tiny ones that disappear visually.
Lighting made the biggest difference for us. String lights, two chairs and a small outdoor rug made the yard feel intentional. It did not look fancy, but suddenly we wanted to sit outside at night.
