If your backyard isn’t as green as you’d like, adding plants in pots is a smart way to decorate it. This yard doesn’t have any grass, so hanging baskets and pots fill it with greenery. Beautiful lush green leaves look great with the bright white furniture and fun outdoor chairs.

Most metal furniture is cheap and comes in a lot of colors, so it’s easy to find some that will look good in your yard or on your patio. The bright yellow flowers in the containers around these outdoor chairs with a retro look go well with them. If you can’t find the color you want, look for furniture at flea markets and estate sales that you can paint to make it look different.

Change up a boring outdoor rug to give your backyard some color and pattern. First, make a pattern with painter’s tape. Then, use a big round brush to add paint in any color you want. For clean lines, sisal or another smooth, low-pile material works best.

Painted Outdoor Pillows

It’s easy to add some style to outdoor fabric by spray-painting a pattern on it, like the stars on this pillow. Choose paint colors that go with the cushion or furniture colors outside. If the furniture on your patio is gray, choose outdoor fabrics in a sunny color that will make you feel good.

An umbrella is a stylish way to block the sun and add a fun color or design to your backyard decor. The sunny color used on pillows, throws, and side tables in this area is also used on an umbrella. Important parts, like the furniture and area rug, stay muted to balance out the bright accents.

It stands out against the gray siding.
