Outdoor Décor to Enhance Curb Appeal

Maximize the curb appeal of your home by adding color, texture, and style to the space with outdoor décor designed to withstand the elements.

As with any type of decoration, the pieces you choose should serve a purpose and be in keeping with the overall theme of the space.

Shopping for Outdoor Décor

With so many different kinds of outdoor décor available to us, it is important to start your decorating process by looking at your space and deciding what goals you have for the area. This is a time to choose a design theme, assess the needs of the area, and start a decorating plan that meets those needs while still being stylish. Some of the most popular types of outdoor décor include:

Arbours: Make the entry of your home elegant and traditional by placing an arbour over the walkway. This supportive and decorative structure is common among gardeners because the frame allows climbing plants, such as ivy and jasmine, to grow in an arch to create an outdoor doorway.

Trellises: Like arbours, trellis are support structures that can be added to a garden and provide a framework for taller plants to grow. They typically have long stakes at the bottom that can be inserted in the soil and come in a range of different shapes and finishes.

Lanterns & Torches: Add ambiance and bug control by outfitting your deck or patio with torches and lanterns burning citronella fuel.

Outdoor Lighting: Make your outdoor space as usable as night as it is during the day by adding outdoor lighting.

Water Features: The sound of trickling water can make any deck or patio a more tranquil and serene place. Garden water features such as garden fountains, waterfalls, and backyard ponds are all popular choices.

Bird Feeders & Bird Baths:  Enjoy an opportunity for bird watching from your own back yard by adding bird feeders and a bird bath. Outfit your bird feeder with food designed to attract local wildlife and an evening on the patio can become even more entertaining.

Planters & Plant Stands: Showcase your favorite plants by housing them in planters and plant stands featuring bright colors or stylish construction.

Garden Statues & Ornaments: Infuse a bit of your personality into your outdoor décor with garden statues, garden ornaments, or perhaps a weathervane. These items come in many sizes and designs

Outdoor Textiles: outdoor rugs, pillows, and cushions provide an opportunity to introduce a bold pattern, fun colors, and soft features to your deck or patio.

Outdoor Heating Solutions: When the weather cools off, patio heaters, fire pits, and fire tables are a warm and inviting addition to an outdoor sitting area.

Adding garden décor to your space is a great way to infuse your personality into the design while enhancing the curb appeal of your home. Opt for a traditional garden windmill, functional outdoor lighting, or plush outdoor rugs and see the difference a few carefully-selected decorations can make in the design of your deck or patio.
