1: Plants and flowers
Every garden or back yard needs plants and flowers to give it a burst of colour. It’s amazing how easily they can transform your garden from a drab and dreary environment to one that’s bright and friendly. Potted plants and flowers are great for use in backyards as they can be grouped together to form an attractive scene. Use hanging baskets to cover walls and window boxes to cheer up your windows. You may not think it but every space has the potential to be beautiful if done correctly.
2: Furniture:
Every garden should have at least one piece of furniture in it no matter how big or small. A garden bench, a lounge chair, a table or a fire pit are all good examples of what you could put in your garden. It is these things that can allow you to fully sit back, relax and take in your surroundings. As well as this furniture offers you an excellent social space that can be enjoyed by you and your guest for hosting the likes of summer BBQ’s. When choosing furniture for your garden it is important to make sure that it is suitable for the outdoors otherwise it will quickly deteriorate.
3: Lighting:
If you want to enjoy your garden at night as well as through the day it is a good idea to put some lighting up. Lighting has the ability to create a real ambience that is both beautiful and tranquil. Watch the sunset surrounded by dim lights and the sounds of the outdoors. There are many lighting options available for your garden from white lights to fairy lights and manual lights to sensor lights. The lighting you choose will depend on the type of garden you have so consider your options and decide just how much lighting you will need.
4: Decorations
Decorating your garden can give it the extra lift it needs. Great for adding an individual touch to your outdoor space so that it oozes in personality. There are a whole number of objects that can be used to decorate your garden including metal house signs, candles, ornaments, outdoor clocks and much more.
4: Bird Bath
A bird bath is a great feature to have in your garden. If you’re fond of wildlife and enjoy having it around you the bird bath is sure to bring in different species of birds. Adding a bird feeder will also help to encourage their visits and if you regularly fill it you should have them visiting on a daily basis.
