Simple Ways to Beautify Your Backyard

Are you dreaming of a garden paradise, but unfortunately only have a small backyard? No need to be sad, because we'll show you how to turn even the dreariest and most inconspicuous yard into a real oasis of well-being. The best thing is that you don't have to spend a lot of money or undertake complex renovation work. These seven ideas are very easy to implement and still have an impressive effect. This will turn your backyard into an outdoor paradise in no time at all.

1. Paint

No matter whether your yard is surrounded by bare concrete walls, unsightly brick walls or peeling wooden fences, with a bucket of paint the whole thing looks half as dreary and no longer so cold, especially if you coordinate the color concept with the associated building and the rest of the design of the outdoor area.

2. Color accents

We'll stick with the theme of color. With brightly colored pillows, cushions, flower pots or other accessories, you can set friendly accents and bring life and summer vibes to your backyard. Here too, it shouldn't be too colorful so that the overall picture doesn't look restless. Instead, think about a color concept beforehand and coordinate the individual elements nicely.

3. Plants

The most important step from a dull backyard to a green oasis of well-being is plants—and the more the better. Raised beds, tubs, pots, boxes, etc. offer great opportunities to make a lively statement even in the dreariest concrete jungle. The more greenery and flowers there are around you, the more comfortable you will feel in your yard.

4. Use the walls

Most backyards are surrounded by high walls and fences. If left completely bare, they quickly become depressing and appear cold and sad. What can you do about it? It's very simple: include all the walls in your design concept. Let ivy grow over them or hang flower pots on them, decorate them with fairy lights, torches, lanterns, pennants or works of art—there are no limits to your imagination.

5. Furniture

Just like in the garden or on the terrace, the appropriate furniture is a must in a courtyard that is used as a wellness oasis. Deck chairs, beach chairs, benches, hammocks—whatever you like and what lets you relax the most is allowed.

Our budget tip: If you really want to save money, build your own outdoor furniture from old Euro pallets.

6. Sun sail

So that we can use our new backyard oasis without any problems even in the hottest summer or in nasty wind and drizzle, a certain amount of roofing is important. Sun sails are practical, stylish and not too expensive. They can be hung up very easily and conjure up a touch of Ibiza flair in your yard.

7. Lighting

Of course, we want to feel really comfortable in our newly designed backyard even after sunset. That's why we need sophisticated lighting that bathes the outdoor area in atmospheric light in the evening. Solar lights that charge during the day and glow atmospherically in the dark, candles, storm lights, torches, fairy lights—you can take full advantage of this and transform your yard into a veritable sea of lights.
