We love to decorate our house to make it a cozy and romantic home or a home with the style we love, modern, classical or simple. When we finish home decor, never forget about the great outdoor decoration! A great home decor is not complete without any change to our garden. Garden decor can add beauty to the plants in the garden, attract more visitors, and more importantly, to liven up those unnoticed areas. There are different ways of garden decoration, adding more plants, using
led lights and decoration accessories, etc.
Ideas of Garden Decoration
We can apply the decoration ways when we embellish our interior spaces to the garden decor. As long as the decoration can make the garden new and fresh, innovative and within our budget, that is successful decoration project. We can start by nailing down the theme or atmosphere we love. Whether it is formal or casual, traditional or modern, romantic or practical, etc, choose one dominant theme and then decorations can go on by adding our imagination, accessories to make the garden full of mystery, culture, fun or whimsy.
Natural Charm - Make Garden Close to Nature
If you love to walk closer to the nature, start to decorate your garden with more plants, not expensive yet eco friendly. Just take more time to know your plants well. There are too many kinds of little plants that can make your garden more vivid and colorful. The plants used to embellish the garden do not need to be those bulk ones and just choose those that can make difference in the texture, height or color. Try some little pretty trailing plants like kudzu. Or try some plants that can give out very pleasant sounds, but never those with extremely strong aromas.
Leisure Style - Make Your Garden a Place For Relaxation
If the far away beach is your relaxation spot, then why not just enjoy leisure time at your garden. Decorate your garden to create a leisurely destination. Try a swinging seat bench in the corner of a wooden deck to help you get relaxed there, breezing during the lazy summer time. Place some table and chairs with fabrics or add a wicker sofa there and enjoy leisurely lunch with the family. To avoid strong sunshine, just get ready for a freestanding umbrella. You will love the casual and leisure vibe there.
Garden Lighting Decor
Garden look fantastic and beautiful whatever style we choose during daylight time if we decorate it with flowers, greenery, and other ornaments. But how about it at night? Actually, for great garden decor, we need to make it enticing in the evening. Just plan some lighting system that can well show the garden design at night, whether it is you who view it from inside or your neighbors who view it from outside. We can make it look just as beautiful in the evening hours if we arrange some innovative lights in the garden. For example, we can wind some energy efficient DIY mini string lights around the tree trunks in the garden or hang some nice lanterns in the garden.
We can line the pathway to our garden with rope lights. If we can choose some color changing rope lights, that would be better. For the garden lighting, never forget the Christmas lights you only use for holidays. Bring the Battery Operated Christmas Mini Lights out and put them inside the glass brick and turn on.The lights will make a great accent for the larger bricks. Tree in the garden also need some decoration. Use the mini string lights to light up the trunks of your larger trees as well to complete the effect. If you have sculptures in your garden, outline them with rope lights for a unique effect.
Imaginative Place - Use Ornaments as Furnishings
There are too many garden ornaments available to decorate the garden creatively. To make garden a place full of imagination, a place full of culture, try more ornaments. Get some chairs, benches updated and ensure everything in the garden creative or try some DIY. Follow your imagination .
Plants & Flowers
Are there any flowers or plants well trimmed in your garden? Go to your local garden center for some flowers or plants that will thrive in your garden. If you can gather the flowers or plants of each season, that would be better. Choose the flowers and plants that differ in colors, shapes or sizes. Match the flowers and plants in aspect of their heights, styles and groupings. This can help add variety to your garden design. Try to find some plants or flowers that can grow well especially if you can hardly care them every day, for example, daylilies and black eyed susans. If you choose annual flower, you must ensure that you can spare more time to care them so as to make them grow well from season to season. Besides, you can raise some potted plants or flowers for an extra flair to the design.
Furniture
Are you the one who frequently invite friends home or love to hold some parties? Next time, you can make full use of your garden area to make the parties special. Furnish the garden and to make it a warm outside home. For a cozy home outdoors, finishing it off with furniture is essential. Try to get a table set, sofa, chairs, hammock and such furniture which might compliment the comfort and enjoyment of the area. Besides, make the furniture color well match the design of the whole garden. One more point here is to ensure the furniture can well handle the weather.
Additional accents
Add some final touch to the garden. Think about some accents like a painting of a gate crawling with vines as pretty backdrop for the garden, mini-waterfall, a birdhouse, bird feeder, sun catcher, or lantern. You may choose to personalize your accent with special items or unique items, like a watering can. But still make sure to add the items that can complete the effect. Always, less is more. Too many items will detract from the overall look we're trying to realize.
