The yard may be the same important as your living! Besides, compared to other spaces in your home, the yard is perhaps more colorful, fun, and without a ceiling that would boundary your necessities and aspirations. Careful landscaping is the key to a comfortable courtyard, whether it is a small patio in the city or a large garden outside the city. If you are unsure how you can improve your patio, our tips may be handy! With a bit of effort and with your set budget, your garden will look marvelous.
The right hue: make it colorful
If you are designing your outdoor area for the first time, you are wondering where to start? It is the easiest if you first decide which color you fancy for your furniture. Of course, the most significant is your preferences. You cannot choose some that you will not like.
Now, you may want to buy the table first, since it is the most massive piece of furniture on your patio. And then chairs! As a golden rule, match the color of your table with at least two chairs. How many different colors you can add? It really depends on how big is your table. If it is a four-seater, restrict yourself to two colors.
What about tones? It would be best if your table is in neutral colors and the chairs to be bright. And ideally, the other furniture, such as lampstands, should be joyful.
Bird feeders- the touch of harmony
The sound of birds singing adds to the harmony. So, you might want to put bird feeders to draw them to your patio. The first thing you should know is that there is no perfect model. That is if you are not a fan of the squirrels! Even if the manufacturer says it is squirrel proof, be aware that they are sneaky and can always get what they want!

Picking the model depends on various factors, such as the types of birds you want to attract and dedication to maintaining the feeder. And of course, how much of the space you got! If your yard is spacious enough, you might want to go for a two-story happy birdhouse. Apart from being stylish, it fits most nesting birds, and it is easy to clean, thanks to the hole in the back.

The serenity of the wind chimes
As you know, each time that wind blows, wind chimes will make calming tones. And the legends say they are introducing positive energy! But is that all? Not really! They prevent unwanted animals from visiting their garden. And if they are near a door, it may even warn you of human intruders! While purchasing, you need to think of your neighbors. Is it too loud for them? Some models will be quieter and some more powerful. The two most common materials are metal and bamboo.

The short guide to picking of the fountain
Fountains exist for thousands of years now and have more symbolism than any other component in the decoration. They are created from the need to bring clean water to the town but became representatives of goddesses, nature, power, wealth, and art. So, it is not a wonder why people are fascinated by them! Nowadays, the fountain in the courtyard has a simply decorative function. But of course, they add a natural element to the yard. The sound of water murmurs is refreshing. And that is not only to humans- it will attract birds and butterflies that will “revive” the garden.
The following are the things you must pay attention to.
Origins of water and electricity
Some fountains have a constant flow of water that stops only when you turn it off. And others have the water circulates. With such fountains, you should regularly check that they have enough water. If possible, keep the power source close.
Materials
The fountain is made of different materials. The stone ones need the least maintenance. Bronze and copper fountains are a nice contrast to the natural environment but require a little more maintenance than others and are more expensive. There are also models with glass, metal, and wooden components.
Location
The place where you will place the backyard fountain is something you need to think about well. If it is bigger do not place it near other things. And if it is smaller, make sure it is not hidden by flowers or furniture. Also, make sure that the fountain is not under the trees, because the falling leaves will make cleaning more difficult.
Maintenance
You must regularly maintain your fountain. But do not worry, each one comes with maintenance instructions. Also, before winter cold, it is necessary to drain the water out. The bonus tip is to cover it with nylon so that snow would not damage it.
Additional decor
If you make an effort to create or set up a fountain, then finish the yard decor to the end. Decorate the fountain or the area around it with plants and stones.

The art of statues
If you are an art lover, you would probably like to have a garden statue. There are so many of them, so let your imagination be wild! But bear in mind only one thing: the size! You would be surprised how many people make mistakes with this! So, what are the tips? First, aim for life-size. It would be weird to have a massively big rabbit, right? The second thing is the viewing distance. If you are going to look at it from a long distance, you want a bigger statue.
We would suggest bright colors!

Swing- decorative and fun
Having a cozy place to relax is irreplaceable. And all you need for that is a swing! Who would not enjoy the fresh air while you are swinging with the book? The only challenging part is the space. But even if your garden is small, do not worry about it! You just need to get a proper model. Also, you would like to have some privacy, so do not put it in the center. Yet, do not place it somewhere where your view will be blocked either.

How to choose outdoor seating?
The best advice you can get about outdoor seating is to sit on it before you purchase it. You will use it daily, so comfortability is a must. Neither you nor your guest will enjoy it if it is not cozy. Plus, make sure they are weather-resistant to stop color-fading.

The effect of proper lighting
Lighting should strengthen the ambiance you want to build. So, think about which areas will gain from lighting? Maybe you want to give attention to your sculpture? Or you want to make your fountain or pool prettier at night? Or to simply add to the romance?
After you decided where you want to install it, consider the positioning. You could use a tree, fence, shed, or house.
Again, a bonus tip is not to light the edges of your backyard since dark corners will make it seem larger. And your neighbors will be happy!

Keep On Eye Your Budget
It is so crucial that before you start arranging the garden, determine your budget. You don’t want to start shopping only to realize somewhere in the middle that you don’t have any more money. It’s better to buy less, but pair everything!
The bottom line
The decor of your garden is so important because it offers stillness of mind and an excellent escape from an ordinary lifestyle. We hope we helped you to plan yours and to add beauty and positivity to it!
