When thinking of “home décor”, most of us think “cushions, wallpapers and flower vases”. But home décor goes way beyond that – and it definitely extends into our backyards and front lawns as well.

Make Yourself Comfy

Forget about plastic chairs and tables and invest in something that looks really nice. Sometimes, outdoor furniture can be quite expensive, so if you are running on a limited budget you may want to take the “cheaper” way to this. You could simply buy second hand “normal” furniture (some large, comfortable chairs, preferably as close to the ground as possible and a table) and “repurpose” it for the outdoor. As long as they stay covered, they should be good for a long time from now on. Simply painting them can breathe a whole new life into their appearance (and into the appearance of your home’s outdoor space!).

Patterns, More Patterns!

If you want to add a bit of style and uniqueness to your outdoor space, remember to play around with patterns and colors. Polka dots, red stripes, stars – you name it and they will work fantastically together if you put your imagination to it. Make table linens out of your old bed linens, make comfy cushions out of your old skirts and mix old patches together for a truly “warm” and “welcoming” outdoor rug as well. It will look lovely!

Blossoming Flowers

Flowers and plants are absolutely crucial to making an outdoor space look more beautiful. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to put a lot of work in this – there are ways to keep your plants happy without being a madly passionate gardener as well. Some flowers and plants are more pretentious, others will do with what Mother Nature has to give. Either way, you can always find a solution to surround your patio or backyard with the most beautiful “gems” of nature.

Cover Yourself Up

Regardless of whether you live in a sunny area or not, you should make sure your patio has at least a small area where you can enjoy some beautiful nature without being rained on and without getting nasty sun burns. A beautiful sun-brella, an awning or other types of coverage will be more than welcomed and they will also create a space that is somewhere in between “outdoors” and “indoors” – the perfect kind of relaxation spot, that is. Imagine yourself reading a good book and sipping some lemonade on a sunny late spring morning on this kind of patio and you will understand why every effort is worth it!
