Decorating Ideas for Your Garden This Summer*

Your garden is a great place to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, holidays and other family gatherings. With just a few simple creative outdoor decor ideas, you can turn your garden into your own little lovely event venue, saving you from the expensive costs of halls, ballrooms and other commercial locations. And if you don’t have any special occasion to celebrate just yet, your garden will always be a family haven where you and your loved ones can spend time together during meals, afternoon barbecues or just those simple after-school sacks.

But let’s face it, after spending so much time in our gardens this year and last due to the many many lock downs (it feels like a million at this point, right?) it’s not surprising so many of us feel like it’s time for an upgrade. Here are a few ideas on what you can do to spruce the place up.

If you want to encourage life into your garden, why not consider putting in a koi pond? They can be aesthetically pleasing and really give the place that extra level of luxury especially if you have older family, or perhaps no family at all. Some people even make a hobby out of maintaining their koi ponds.

For a garden to become an outdoor living space, appropriate furniture will be necessary. You certainly would want to have chairs, loungers, sofas and other furniture to relax on. Tables will be very useful for activities such as lunches and dinners, when creating arts and crafts, or even when doing some business work. Just keep in mind to choose furniture made for outdoors.

If you are searching for well designed outdoor furniture, you can visit your local furniture shops, or you can save yourself the time and effort by simply checking out what’s available online.

If you are a DIY enthusiast, you can also create your own outdoor decors by upcycling old items into new and useful products that can easily transform your garden into one purposeful and attractive space. For instance, if you have an old wooden drawer you no longer are using, you can actually use this as a planter for your lovely flowers and homegrown vegetables. You can line the drawers with garbage bags and coat it with sealant and it’s ready to go. You can also paint it with some vibrant colors to add more life into your garden.

If you got some old tires lying around, these can easily be used as garden stools. Not only are these very durable but they also offer a comfortable base for backless garden stools. You can be as creative as you want by painting them and even placing cushioning in between. Also, if you got some extra wood from your doghouse DIY project, you can easily create a side table or coffee table to match your recliners or sofas.

With some inspiration and a little dose of creativity, you can turn your garden into an outdoor living space you can utilize for events and occasions or simply as a special place to spend those treasured family moments.
