Spring has sprung — it’s time to move from the comfort of your couch to the lushness of the great outdoors. But before the first jonquils begin to bud, start thinking about giving your outdoor space a boost. Whether it’s with garden beds, outdoor rugs, garden stools, or other outdoor furniture and patio accessories, here’s what we’re adding to our space to bring the ‘WOW’ factor.
Garden Beds
Now is the time to plan out where you’d like to put new plants, as well as decide on which perennials will stay and which ones need to go. Make sure that the containers you plant in are sturdy enough for the weather conditions in your region. For those without enough space for full-sized beds, you might consider raised beds. The advantage of raised beds is that you can plant at ground level instead of digging up the soil. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, so make sure to choose one that fits within your budget and space constraints (and, of course, one that matches your other patio accessories).
Unique Planters
If you have a large patio or deck with an empty area, consider adding planter boxes for some spring flowers. You can move these around your property easily. They require little maintenance, and you can use them year after year. Annuals and vegetables can also be planted in them instead of traditional pots. Consider using heavier planters that will anchor your outdoor area if you’re interested in something more permanent.
Outdoor Rugs
If you’re looking for a pop of color that can work all year long, consider an indoor/outdoor rug. They are great for adding color to patios and decks when you don’t want to completely update the entire space. In addition to being waterproof and fade-resistant, a heavy duty outdoor rug made specifically for use outside is also able to withstand lots of foot traffic.
Garden Stools
You may already have some patio chairs in place, but more outdoor seating is never a bad thing — especially if you like to entertain! Garden stools are a great way to add seating without taking up too much room. You can also use them as extra side tables when you entertain. Whether you opt for a sleek, modern look or something more rustic, there’s bound to be something that works perfectly for your home. If you’re looking for something that stands out, consider a brightly colored option that serves as a piece of functional art. When choosing your furniture, think about what you’ll use it for. Will it be spending most of its time in use? Or will it sit on the sidelines until you need it?
Standout Outdoor Furniture Ideas
When it comes to patio decorating ideas, there is no shortage of choices when choosing your outdoor furniture. In terms of style, you can choose from many different options, from modern, contemporary, classic, transitional and country styles. No matter what style you prefer, you should keep in mind that your outdoor furniture should complement your home as well as your lifestyle. There is a wide range of options available for outdoor furniture including umbrellas, stunning chaise lounges, bold lounge chairs, space-defining screens, and hammocks that you’ll love spending the afternoon lounging in.
