Outdoor Wall Art
Add color to your outdoor decorating with a
fence covered with suspended flowerpots. It's wall art for your outdoor room. Start with nine terra-cotta pots and coat the bases with
spray paint. Next, plot the grid arrangement and secure pot hangers to the fence. Finish by suspending pots from hangers and filling each container with brightly colored annuals or herbs.
Poolside Patterns
Use outdoor
fabric to add color and style to pool or
patio furniture. Polka-dot outdoor fabric adds modern flair and durability to the chairs. A freestanding umbrella in yellow adds a pop of color to the green foliage and neutral patio backdrop.
Editor's Tip: Outdoor fabric is an ideal choice for sun-filled areas and outdoor rooms because it's waterproof and fade- and stain-resistant.
Bright Table Toppers
Outdoor dining is a treat in warm-weather months, so make it even more special with pretty
table settings. A plain table runner gets a color boost from colorful appliques. Bright
tableware adds splashes of color to the table. A white awning provides shade and brightens up the space.
Colorful Furniture
Add pizzazz to a plain
deck with colorful
furniture. Mix and match chairs of a similar
style in a variety of colors. Here, bright pinks, oranges, blues, purples, and greens fill the deck with summer colors.
Pretty Fabrics
Create an outdoor room with fabric. This deck's setup is similar to an indoor
living room arrangement. An all-weather rug anchors the furniture, and outdoor fabrics in pretty patterns cover the plush seat cushions. The arbor serves as a wall and ceiling, and panels hang from it like
window treatments. Accents such as
lamps and throw pillows complete the look.
Colorful Starting Point
The home's exterior creates the perfect starting point for this patio's
color scheme. Orange accents, such as throw pillows, hanging fabric, and oversize letter B, pop against the green exterior. Wood candle holders and
potted plants bring the natural elements of the yard onto the
patio. With plenty of seating and multiple tables, this patio is just right for enjoying bright summer days and warm summer nights.
Patio Dining
The home's blue French doors provide plenty of bright color for this
patio. Because the patio is adjacent to the home's
kitchen, the simple picnic
table is great for taking meals outside.
Pretty Posts
Separate a
garden from the rest of the backyard with a colorful
fence. The bright green and blue hues pop against the grass and plants. The fence provides a colorful view from any angle
Easy Solution
Colorful containers are a simple way to brighten an outdoor space. Choose pots in various colors, sizes, and textures.
Fire Flies
Create a twinkling treescape by suspending colored-glass
votive holders from low-hanging tree branches with fishing line or wire. Colorful outdoor
pillows, now readily available at retail, are a simple way to pop a little color into your backyard.
Party Atmosphere
Metal
furniture is generally affordable and it gives a cool color vibe to your
garden or
patio. A bar cart is always ready for a party, offering up a handy serving surface.
Sunny Accents
Small basic accessories such as this galvanized container can be brightened with
paint for a personal look. To be on the safe side, don't let food come into contact with the surface unless the paint you used is labeled food-safe.
Citrus Punch
Give your backyard a shot of summer color with accents dressed in fruit-inspired hues. This citrus-color metal bistro
table is home to an apple-green hobnail-pattern glass lantern.
Cottage Charms
An unassuming
garden shed becomes a festive focal point with bold
stripes and scalloped
molding. Before you begin, add a coat or two of water-base primer to the facade -- it will help your creative expressions last longer.
Double Shift
Lanterns with bright graphic designs can light up an outdoor setting even before the sun sets. After dark, turn on battery-powered
lightbulbs to increase the glow.
