Discover Your Style

Are you interested in throwing parties? Taking a refreshing dip in the pool? Gardening? Whatever your niche is, there are endless styles and designs you can incorporate into your backyard refresh. Discover what kind of feel you’re going for in the space, then begin choosing pieces that fit your chosen style. Don’t forget to consider what kinds of materials you’ll be using (wood, metal, plastic) so that you can better gauge which kinds of pieces you’ll add to the mix once it comes time to include decorations.

Add an Arbor

Arbors are a beautiful way to add dimension to your backyard. When looking for arbors, you should find one that fits the theme of the rest of your backyard. If you’re going for a garden feel, adding an arbor that has a built-in trellis for plant growth could really enhance the space you’ve created. Other kinds of arbors can nicely accent furniture pieces you’ve chosen or frame a particular area of your backyard you want to focus on.

Place the Finishing Touches

Now that you have your style, furniture and large accessory pieces, it’s time to put out the finishing touches. Adding some outdoor vases, plants, small water features or lighting have the ability to make your new space feel complete. The finishing touches are often what round out your space and make it feel homey.

You don’t have to work hard to have a wonderful yard! Taking some time to discover your style, add furniture and other statement pieces, and incorporate some special decor are easy steps you can take to transform your outdoor space.
