Whether you have a deck or a patio, or just a fabulous green
backyard space, there are a ton of ways to decorate and accessorize. Here are a
couple ideas to get you started:
Grab an outdoor rug and think outside of big-box retailers.
Outdoor rugs add color and can completely define or refine the space. While big
shops like Target and Lowes are convenient and their inside displays are
stunning – check out Overstock.com or Wayfair.com for deals. These online
retailers have much larger, one-of-a-kind inventories and often offer free
shipping.
Patio sets with enormous umbrellas are always popular, but
if you’ll use your outdoor space more for conversation, you may consider
furniture that will make the space more like a living room. Check garage sales
and consignment shops for comfortable chairs and large tables that sit low to
the ground.
A common problem with outdoor spaces is lighting. You’d like
to be able to enjoy your space once the sun goes down, but not at the expense
of being able to see your guests. Instead of floodlights, which are effective
but not decorative, try up-lighting trees and shrubs. As another more romantic
option, use outdoor lights to light up a pergola.
