Garden Decor

If you are wondering how to decorate your garden space, there are some things to consider. First, you need to consider your budget. There are some cheap garden decoration items to choose from that can create a beautiful outdoor space whilst staying within your price range. You can also start planting a colourful range of flowers in and around the space to add pops of colour, whilst complementing them with outdoor lighting features.

Next, you need to consider how much space you have. If you have limited space in your garden, do not worry. Even the smallest of gardens can be elevated to look like your dream outdoor space. If you have garden furniture, add finishing touches such as waterproof cushions or memory foam pads onto each seat to make it feel comfier.

Finally, you need to think about the various weather conditions you might expect. If you live in an area that experiences a lot of rain, you might opt for waterproof garden decor, as well as having a gazebo to keep your garden furniture dry and safe.

Keeping your waterproof garden cushions outside is okay but predominantly during the drier months. Despite the waterproof technology of the material, they are still susceptible to getting damp during long-term rainfall. Whilst a small shower will not damage the cushions, keeping them in the rain over time can turn them into a breeding station for mould, and also fade any colouring that they will have! 

With this in mind, it would be beneficial to store your waterproof garden cushions in a safe, dry space when they are not in use. Feel free to keep your outdoor cushions outside during the sunnier days, but consider bringing them inside or storing them in an outdoor container when not in use. 

Summer garden decor is freshening and the season is the best time of the year to give your garden the TLC it needs. Once all of the fresh flowers, or even faux flowers have been planted, you should get creative with your summer garden decor.

Consider placing fairy lights across your fence to add some ambience and also a decorative essence. Opt for solar-powered fairy lights to keep them as safe and self-sufficient as possible. Bunting is also an aesthetic feature to have, however, be mindful that some buntings might not be appropriate to keep outside for all weather conditions.

To upgrade your garden's future, consider adding waterproof cushions on chairs to make them much more comfier, and include different patterns and colours that match the vibrancy of your garden. If your garden furniture is looking outdated, you may be able to give it a new lease of life with a lick of paint. If your furniture is on its last legs, consider buying new, cost-effective garden furniture that will complement your new garden decor! 

Most garden decor is made to sustain weather conditions, although they can still experience damage and discolourations. To prevent your garden decor from rusting or facing any damage it would be best to store your garden ornaments away during the frostier months. Consider keeping them in a storage container, or any other dry space that will protect them from damage. For larger garden decor sculptures, consider coating them in car wax to offer them a protective layer during these harder months. Smaller, decorative garden items are best kept away if you can move them, ready to reemerge for the lighter, spring months.
