Small Decorating Ideas To Transform Your Outdoor Space

Summer is just around the corner, and thankfully, we’re already experiencing warmer temperatures and sun-filled skies. Typically, at this time of year, we begin to think about how we can make the most out of our outdoor spaces to fully enjoy the sunny weather. Of course, there is garden furniture, but there are also many other inexpensive ways in which you can enhance your garden, patio, and balcony. In this EZ Living Furniture blog, we will discuss those essential accessories that will add that finishing touch to your garden aesthetic. So, if you’re looking to win the “best garden/patio/balcony in the estate” award, reading this blog can certainly get you on the nominations list!

Prato White Clay Planters

Planters are an inexpensive way to bring a hint of colour to an outdoor area. You can plant colourful flowers in them, and because they are contained, you won’t feel like it’s too overwhelming. This is especially important for those just entering their “green-finger” era and are new to gardening, and want to start small. The Prato Planters above come in a set of 3, allowing you to plant as little or as much as you want. Each planter is a different size too, so if you feel like you want to keep one for herbs, another for flowers, and the last for shrubs, you can do just that. Planters can completely transform any outdoor space because they can have a big visual impact, depending on what you plant in them, of course, but they also don’t consume too much floor space either (the perfect solution if you ask us). And the best thing about them? You can use them indoors and outdoors, so these multifunctional pieces can transform your indoor and outdoor spaces...if you need them to.

An Outdoor Rug

Now listen closely, this might not be the first thing on your garden shopping list, but it should definitely feature high up. Outdoor rugs are perfect for defining specific areas outdoors, which is particularly important when you have multiple outdoor activities occurring. Our gardens are oftentimes considered an extension of our homes, but instead of separating outdoor areas through internal walls, a rug is an inexpensive way to do the same thing. So, if you have a dining area and a play area, for instance, a rug can create the separation between both spaces. An outdoor rug is also a great way to add a finishing touch to a space and create real visual impact.

Fairy Lights

If you want to bring a little magic into your garden, then a string or two of fairy lights can do just that. Hang these along a wall, dangle them from a parasol or wrap them around your egg chair to bring a little something extra to your garden decor. These inexpensive lights, which can often be picked up for less than a cup of coffee, create more impact than you’d expect and can help to transform your garden, balcony or patio into a magical outdoor space. Fairly lights are a great investment and when switched on at night bring a warm and enchanting feeling to any area outdoors.

Garden Statues & Ornaments

There’s nothing like a few decorative statues and garden ornaments to bring a sense of character to an outdoor area. Of course, gnomes were a staple in many gardens across Ireland and the UK, and while some loved them and others loved to hate them, you’ll be delighted to know that there are many other characters to choose from nowadays. There are solar options, hanging versions, and of course, just stationary pieces, all of which can add to the look and feel of your garden. If you have little ones, they might love to create an enchanting village with the help of your ornaments, but even if you don’t, there’s still something about displaying cheeky ornaments in your garden that brings an instant smile to everyone’s face. 

Now that you have a shopping list full of items that will transform your garden, it’s time to start shopping for those outdoor furniture items that will complete the look! Shop our full garden range here!
