DIY Garden and Backyard Decor Ideas

As the warmer weather approaches, it's time to start thinking about decorating our outdoor space so we can have somewhere nice to sit and enjoy sunny days. Whether you have a small or a large outdoor space, you do not have to spend a fortune on sprucing it up.

Make use of objects you may already have lying around, such as bricks, for example, which can be used to make shelves to place pretty and colorful plants on. Pallets are another great find and have a multitude of possibilities for the garden from decking to planters.

Brick Shelves

For a tight space, this idea is great. You only need four bricks and two pieces of wood to recreate this, and it really makes an impression. With the addition of brightly colored potted plants, it will really brighten up a small space in an instant.

Pallet Decking

Transform pallets into decking to elevate your backyard decor. They are cheap, and in many cases, you can get them free. Sand them and treat them with outdoor paint or varnish to make sure they last. You could also install solar lights to really make them shine.

Solar Lights

When it comes to decor, lighting is everything. It sets the tone and ambiance and, when done correctly, can provide the right level of relaxation to your environment. These solar lights are bunched together and placed in a plant pot to almost resemble a lighted fire.
