15 Garden Decoration Ideas We Are Gushing Over

Need some garden decoration ideas? Now summer is finally here, and we’ve been enjoying some high temperatures and sunny days here in the UK, it’s nice to relax and soak up the sun in the comfort of your own garden. Is your garden space needing a lift with some new decor for this summer? Here is a list of garden decoration ideas that we love!

1. Wooden Bunting

Bunting is a classic British summer decoration, hung up for parties or events in gardens and town centres alike.

Make bunting a more permanent fixture of your garden with wooden bunting. This great option for garden decoration ideas is much more hardy and resistant to British summer rain than it’s cotton counterparts, meaning it will last much longer in your garden.

These little light jars are perfect for bringing some ambient light into your garden and making your tree seem more alive and magical.

3. Vintage Succulent Garden

Succulents are a great plant to fill your garden with as they are relatively low maintenance and easy to look after. Make your succulent garden a feature by basing it on an old vintage dresser that is damaged enough to battle the elements outside rather than sit pride of place inside. Succulents are such cute and fun garden decoration ideas!

4. Garden Cinema

We are loving the idea of  creating your very own cinema inside your garden, perfect for relaxing with friends on those long, warm summer evenings!

All you need is a line, such as your clothes line, a big white sheet and a projector. Don’t forget to bring outside some big cushions, blankets, fairy lights and candles to make your outdoor cinema truly cosy.

If you are looking for a garden decor weekend project, look no further. This fun little DIY by A Beautiful Mess makes a gorgeous hanging planter which will become a feature of your outside seating space.

6. Bird Baths & Houses

It’s always good to help nature by providing bird houses, birdbaths and bird feeders in your garden to help nature thrive in all seasons.

However, bird houses and baths can become a fun and quirky garden decor feature!

A little herb garden can be a nice feature of your garden. Not only does it look interesting (and smell amazing!), you can use the herbs you grow in your summer cooking and herbs like mint and rosemary are great to use in cocktails!

Creating a patio space in your garden means you have a place to truly relax, eat, and enjoy the summer months.

10. Hanging flower baskets

Hanging baskets are a popular piece of garden decoration and a great way to bring some life and colour to your garden!

You can even buy ready-planted baskets if you’re not up to the challenge of arranging your own.

11. Hang a Hammock

A Hammock is a great way to sunbathe and nap in the afternoon or relax with a good book and a glass of wine in the evening. This is a summer essential for garden decoration!

12. Chiminea

A Chiminea is a really impressive piece of garden decor on its own, so is a great idea if you’re looking for a feature piece of decoration in your garden!

You can use one as a functioning Chiminea or you could use it in a range of other ways, such as filling the centre with candles or fairy lights instead of lighting full fires. These can also be used to plant flowers in if you never intend to use it for a fire.

13. Fairy lights on trees

This adorable decor idea brings light and magic to your garden. If you are lucky enough to have trees in your garden, decorating them with strings of fairy lights is a great alternative to bigger lights to bring soft light to the garden for the evening, whilst making your tree a feature of the garden!

14. Install a patio pond

Ponds are probably most commonly associated with large, rural gardens. If you want to highlight natural decor in your garden, a patio pond is a must-have. They are wildlife friendly and an interesting garden feature.

Primrose even sell ‘Pond in a Pot’ kits to get you started!

15. Windchimes

These are the ultimate love/hate garden decoration: you either find the soft tinkling sounds in the wind calming and peaceful, or inexplicably annoying.

If you are considering getting windchimes for your garden, consider going handmade, which can produce more delicate and pleasant sounds. There are some beautiful looking handmade windchimes on Etsy which can add a boho feel to your garden decor.
