Putting out fabrics outside is a simple way to make your backyard look better. Start with neutral-colored furniture and an outdoor rug. Then add pops of color with throw pillows, seat cushions, cushioned poufs, and other accents. This makes it easy to change the colors in your backyard without having to start from scratch.

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.

Creative Outdoor Rug

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.

Putting a bright tablecloth over your outdoor table will make your meals outside more interesting. Brightly colored plates, napkins, and glasses can also make backyard parties more fun. Add depth to your table by putting a natural runner like rattan or bamboo over a brighter tablecloth.

Colorful Patio Umbrellas

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.

Bright Back Door

A quick way to add color to the front of your house is to paint the door. This works in the garden too. Set a bright mood for your outside space with a new-colored back door. Pick a color that goes with the rest of the colors on the outside of your house. In this case, an orange umbrella and furniture pillows give the bright tangerine door some color ideas. It stands out against the gray siding.
