Top 10 tips and tricks on outdoor decoration!
Share
1) Evaluate Your Renovation Needs
Do you need a landscaper? A carpenter? A mason?
Are you planning to build a pergola, set up an outdoor kitchen, or install a garden shed?
To avoid any inconveniences,
It’s highly recommended to check your local city regulations and building codes.
2) Lighting and Safety
You’re creating your patio to extend your evenings outdoors and bring a warm, inviting atmosphere.
String lights are a great addition to outdoor decor.
Make sure your electrical outlets are safe—no power cords running along the ground.
There are so many new and beautiful practical products available—
Whether it’s LED lights, battery-powered candles, solar lamps, etc.
3) Furniture
Make sure your furniture is suitable for outdoor weather conditions.
You’ve fallen in love with a gorgeous patio set? Watch out for its size!
Oversized furniture can clutter your space.
4) Storage
Don’t forget about multifunctional furniture to keep your outdoor area tidy.
Think of ottoman benches, storage chests, etc.
5) Don’t Overlook the Shaded Area
Summer without sun protection can quickly become uncomfortable.
To enjoy your space without suffering from the heat or sunburn, consider a parasol, a pergola, or shade sails.
6) Flooring
Always think about aesthetics, comfort, durability, and safety.
Wood is warm and cozy—but requires maintenance.
Ceramic tiles are chic—but can be slippery.
Be careful with your choices. Add an outdoor rug if needed.
7) Integrating Plants, Watering, and Fertilizing
Look into plant varieties that suit your chosen environment—are they compatible? SUN or SHADE?
Some plants require a lot of care.
Pay attention to watering—wilted plants are suffering, and that’s sad.
Not a green thumb? Artificial plants are also a great option.
Note: Due to UV exposure, artificial plants usually last 1 to 2 seasons, depending on how much sun they get.
8) Don’t Neglect Wall Decor
Add mirrors, picture frames, shelves, wall sconces, masks—give your space some character!
9) Don’t Overlook Color Coordination
Keep things flowing—harmonize the colors between your indoor and outdoor spaces.
10) Don’t Forget the Final Touches
A radio, a tabletop fireplace, a wind chime (wood, metal, or seashell), terrace vases, even a dreamcatcher if you like, a hummingbird feeder, etc.—the list is long and the season is short!
Be selective and thoughtful with your choices—and enjoy it!
Have a great season, everyone!
