I'd like to welcome Anna Hicks who has written a post especially for DIYbyDesign.
It’s the time of the year once again to get up and about to trimming and
sprucing up your lawn or backyard. You want to give it that alluring look that
makes you want to spend afternoons outdoor sipping some strawberry lemonade.
Some simple tips and tricks and a pair of handy helpful hands can achieve a
lot with small changes. There are professional services that can teach you how
to water your
lawn less for better results and help you to preserve water, which
means you can also reap eco-friendly benefits during DIY spring outdoor
decoration.
1. Add a Little Something Extra to Your Planters
Planters come in all different sizes and shape which means there's an array
of ideas that you can work with. From something as simple as painting them a
different color or pattern to whole project that involve making a planter tree
by stacking up different sized planters; the sky is the limit.
An option is to combine a water feature to some medium to small sized planters, some small sized bird baths or pebbles and water. Such a craft may sound extremely difficult; but it’s quite is easy to carry out, and also makes a very appealing and refreshing addition to your front lawn.
2. Build Yourself a Fire Pit
If you have a large backyard and your children love camping, this might be
just what you need to not only take them camping right at home, but add a whole
new level of fun to it. Building a fire pit may seem like a very tough project,
but with an extra pair of hands and some accurate directions, you can manage it
fairly well on your own.
3. Add a Dash of Color
If you’re hopeless when it comes to taking instructions, you might just
stick to something as simple as adding a bit of color here and there. Another
great idea for the front might be to paint your front
doors a bright shade.
As hard as it may sound to believe, hot pink seems to be the color in vogue
for this mission if you wish to accomplish it. It adds a dash of brightness to
your house and makes it look more lively and welcoming at the same time.

4. Make it a Relaxing &
Soothing Place
If you wish to lure your kids outdoor or just like to hang out outside, add
some furniture outside that makes it seem more of a lounging space.
Get a hammock if you like, but if you prefer something sturdier, then
perhaps a summer cabana would suit you better. However, if you don't want to
spend extravagantly, fish out some old chairs, renew them with some cans of
spray paint, add an umbrella stand and your relaxing corner is as good as done.
When it comes to home decorating, whether indoor or outdoor, it does not
have to be an extravagant burning of money. You can make do a lot with plain
old household items; it all depends on your creativity and imagination and the
tips mentioned above will give you some ideas to start.
Thanks Anna.
Thanks Anna.
Have a great weekend!
