If you’re in a region of the United States where the temperature changes, like mine this is the time of year that I am enthusiastic about living outdoors! It’s time to break from hibernation.
If you have a huge backyard, a massive deck or patio or a tiny outdoor space or a small balcony Here are five chic and easy outdoor decorating ideas to make the most of the warmer weather ahead.
5 Simple Patio Furniture and Outdoor Decor Ideas
Relax on your patio or deck in the style you want. There is no need to spend money to build an outdoor space that is inviting. Here are some simple ways to create it.
1. Bistro Set
Anyone can benefit from the bistro set regardless of whether you have other furniture for your patio. Who doesn’t want a dining table and chair to enjoy breakfast in the morning, or to enjoy a drink at night? Find a cozy spot near an entrance so that you can access it quickly with a drink and food. If you’re lucky enough to have a small backyard or a balcony the bistro set is the only thing you require for your own or to entertain a person!
Target provides some of the most fashionable bistro sets ranging from $200-$400. I love the design from the Christopher Knight Collection. Pick wood, contemporary and retro metals that are that are painted in bright or pastel shades. You can also choose one of the traditional cast metal designs that will never ever go out of fashion or blow up your balcony. They come with practical characteristics also. There is an ice bucket at the center of the table, to chill your drinks or wine, and a few have chairs that fold which allow them to be moved and used inside and outside.
2. Patio Throw Pillows and Cushions
You can add color and relaxation quickly with pillows, throws and cushion seats. It’s an excellent option to refresh your furniture for the patio and give it a the appearance of a new design that you didn’t have last year.
Throw pillows with bold colors or slipcovers for your old ones for sectionals, sofas and outdoor chairs. The bistro set you have can be more comfortable with cushion for your seat and your outdoor chasing is so luxurious, that you could even sleep when you sit down. I discovered these cushions and pillows at Walmart and you’ll be able to be cozy with less money.
3. Outdoor Tableware
From serving bowls and trays to sparkling barware You don’t want to be worried about broken glass on your deck. This is reason why acrylic or melamine is the best way to go! Pottery Barn offers some of the most impressive collections. I love the tableware and barware of Pottery Barn’s Monique Lhuillier line. It’s hard to believe that they’re not made from ceramic or glass. Pottery Barn also offers wonderful festive designs of serving dishes, bowls and plates in tough Melamine.
They’re not cheap, but you don’t have to buy a complete set to create a striking statement. Four wines glasses, or perhaps a compartmentalized serving tray or bowl is all you need to revamp your outdoor decor with style.
4. Patio Lighting
If you’re out in the sun, you might not be thinking about lighting at all, unless the sun sets. Therefore, be proactive and add some lights for your outdoor space. There are a few easy and affordable options to create a stunning mood from dusk until dawn.
String some globe lights for your outdoor space above your head, or put an outdoor solar pathway lantern onto your backyard or around your patio. You can also place a solar portable lantern on your table or any other place you require illumination. I found these choices and more on Wayfair.
5. Wind Chimes and Waterfalls
Naturally, you’ll like to listen to music but a quiet way to add some natural sounds and not disturb your neighbors is through water falls and wind chimes for outdoor use. Amazon offers a variety of wind chimes available in every hue to add some color as well as soothing and serene sound to your patio whenever the wood chimes.
If you enjoy listening to the sound of water rushing over rocks There are outdoor waterfalls with portable design that can add interesting sculptural features to your outdoor space as well as offer soothing and relaxing sound effects.
Are you looking forward to spending more time outside? Do you have other backyard furniture and design ideas?
