Patio Decor Ideas
PATIO DECOR IDEAS TO CREATE YOUR OWN OUTDOOR OASIS! FROM COMFORTABLE FURNITURE TO AMBIANT LIGHTING, TRANSFORM YOUR SPACE EFFORTLESSLY!
There’s nothing like stepping outside into a beautifully designed outdoor space that feels like an extension of your home.
For this collection of backyard and patio decor ideas, my idea was timeless elegance meets natural beauty. I imagined antique-inspired statuary and an abundance of plants and flowers. Comfortable furniture surrounded by vintage-style statues adds a touch of old-world charm.
An outdoor space that feels like a secret garden, offering the perfect escape for downtime.
Water features
Consider a water feature if you want to add elegance to your outdoor space. The sound of flowing water creates a peaceful ambiance and a sense of tranquility. Couldn’t we all use more of that?
This outdoor fountain caught my eye. It would be a beautiful focal point for any outdoor area.
If you have space on an exterior wall, a wall mounted fountain is a beautiful option. I love creating vertical gardens in small space areas, and this would take them to the next level.
This koi fountain can double as outdoor decor. Isn’the fun?
Bird Feeders
Adding a bird feeder is a fun way to attract different types of birds to your yard. This adorable bird feeder is charming with its brass roof.
I keep several hummingbird feeders around our yard.
Year after year, the birds return to the same spot. Their arrival is my cue to start filling the feeders once again with my simple hummingbird food recipe.
Another very stylish option is the beautiful copper roof feeder.
This year I looked into one of those bird feeders with built-in cameras – such a fun idea – but I was pretty surprised at the price. I’ll hold off until the cost of those goes down.
Garden Statues
Nothing will add old world charm to your garden like a garden statue. A weathered stone finish helps to create an atmosphere of nostalgia.
However, true antique stone statues can be very expensive, not to mention heavy. I like to be able to move things around myself so I happy to get the look using lighter-weight materials.
This beautiful garden angel statue is a stunner.
I find the outdoor religious statuary especially beautiful; this blessed mother garden statue is another pretty one.
A Greek inspired garden pillar/column is another idea for creating a sense of history. Use it to display trailing plants or a garden statue.
Even these playful heron garden statues bring a touch of elegance.
Fire Feature Ideas
If you want a fire feature but prefer to keep it simple, this tabletop fire pit is a great option.
There’s also a round tabletop firepit for circular tables.
A wood burning fire pit with a stone surround is a nice option that will blend into the landscape. I prefer natural materials both inside and out. This is why I like this one better than the manmade, metal frame style fire pits.
A good small space option is this bistro table that turns into a firepit. Keep the cover on to use it as an accent table or remove it to reveal the firepit.
Outdoor LIghting
You can’t create an outdoor oasis without the ambiance of outdoor lighting. Fortunately, there are no shortage of options in that department.
One fun option I found are these outdoor lighted orbs that run on batteries. You can hang them over a seating area, place them in planters, or display them in a grouping.
Hanging lanterns are very versatile for any outdoor space, which is why these white hanging lanterns with cutouts caught my eye.
Outdoor string lights are always a yes. I noticed this set of solar-powered classic string lights, which are a perfect solution if you don’t have any outlets nearby.
Garden Planters
How I would love to find a large, vintage cement swan planter. But until then, I have my eye on this ceramic swan planter. Isn’t that so charming?
I also love a good pedestal planter that allows trailing vines. This white pedestal planter made of cement is also beautiful.
Imagine this stone planter covered with moss in a few years. This one is really beautiful!
Gardening Tools
Of course to create and maintain your pretty garden areas, you’ll need a few handy tools. These 5 are the ones I use again and again during gardening season.
A small handheld garden shovel set is handy.
A good pair of pruners is essential.
I also recommend a garden scoop to make life easier. For years, I used my small handheld shovel for scooping dirt and mulch which takes much longer than using an actual scoop.
Patio Furniture
When the yard work is done, you’ll need comfortable seating to sit back and enjoy your oasis.
A pretty bistro set for the patio will get used often! And it works in any small patio space or corner of your yard.
Outdoor rugs can make your patio area feel cozy. I like an outdoor rug in a neutral tone rather than bold colors so as not to compete with nature.
Lastly you’ll need outdoor lounge chairs for your lounge area to soak up the sun (or to rest in the shade).
One bonus item I wanted to include is this outdoor cart. It’s small and cute and handy for plants, drinks, or garden tools. I’m sure this would get lots of use.
Whether your outdoor space is large or small, you can turn it into your own personal retreat. There are endless patio decor ideas to suit every style and budget, especially this time of year.
Let your creativity flow, and enjoy designing a patio that not only looks beautiful but also becomes the perfect place to relax and entertain all season long!
