With spring just around the corner, it's time to start considering new outdoor styles. Many people focus on spring cleaning inside and don't always take the time to spruce up patios, porches and gardens. However, these are the very things that define the style of a home to visitors and passers-by. New furniture, contemporary outdoor lighting fixtures, and yard decor help make the exterior of a home as inviting as the interior. Colorful Accents It's easy to add a splash of color to yards and patios. Both flowering plants and green ground covers add natural beauty when used as borders. Bird feeders and bird baths bring in living color by attracting a wide variety of birds and encouraging them to return. Other lawn accessories are made specifically for decorating, such as garden statues and stakes, colorful flags and etched stepping stones. These can be mixed and matched in eye-catching ways to create a personalized lawn space. Fresh Furniture Replacing old, worn or cracked patio furniture gives outdoor seating areas an instant facelift Simply replacing the cushions on existing furniture can beautify outdoor spaces as well. Modern outdoor furniture made from glass, metal or wrought iron create an elegant patio setup. Rustic log pieces, on the other hand, can add a touch of woodland charm and complement a yard with a lot of greenery. New Lighting Contemporary outdoor lighting fixtures are popular and can work with any home style. Available in attractive lantern and sconce styles as well as hanging fixtures, these modern lights brighten up any outdoor space. The shallow profile of sconce lights is perfect for porches and patios. Lanterns may be hung around the deck on sturdy poles or suspended on chains to provide an elevated, ambient glow that preserves the beauty of dusk. Solar-powered lanterns can be used along paths and will often last all night after charging during the day. Garden Landscaping It's easy to make vegetable or flower plots part of outdoor decor. Flowers are natural decorations and can be planted in patterns of alternating varieties and colors to create unique living lawn displays. Vegetable plants add texture to the visual landscape with their various leaf shapes and introduce more color when they begin bearing fruit. Both flowers and vegetables can be planted in raised beds or containers made from a variety of materials to complement any lawn. A fresh outdoor style brings new life to any home. Spring is the perfect time to focus on cleaning up clutter and clearing out old and unused items. A little time, creativity and effort is all it takes to transform a winter-weary yard into something beautiful and unique that can be enjoyed all season long.
