This is the month that you should take a look at your backyard and start thinking about outdoor decorating ideas for your summer living. Summer is all about entertaining, back yard barbecues and summer fun. It is imperative to have an outdoor living space that will impress your guests and have them eager to return.
Outdoor living should be comfortable, practical and as colorful as nature itself. You can go as grand as adding professional landscaping, a water feature, fire pit or outdoor kitchen or your outdoor space can be very simple, warm and inviting with just a simple designated seating area. Backyard bliss doesn’t always have to break the bank but it should be as warm and inviting as your interior.
A few simple additions can make all the difference. Colorful outdoor pillows added to a comfortable outdoor seating area or decorative planters with beautiful plants and flowers to enhance the area are just two simple, inviting outdoor decorating ideas.
This picture from HGTV’s backyard makeover project only cost $200.00 with thrift store finds. The bright colors and beautiful plants make this outdoor living space into an amazing retreat, don’t you think?
I am posting a few additional outdoor decorating ideas that will hopefully inspire you to start sprucing up your outdoor living space.
Everyone loves to sit around a fire pit in the evening roasting marshmallows and swapping good stories. This is a ready to assemble fire pit from Necessories that would be a huge bang for your buck at only $406.00.
Or if you want to make a fire pit your main focus of your backyard, here is a grand scale one that is truly impressive.

Outdoor spaces don’t need to be expansive. This oasis by Busybee Design is proof you can make a comfortable living area with small square footage as well.
However if you do have the space and the budget why not go backyard bliss? I will leave you with one more amazing backyard decorating idea for inspiration. Cozy isn’t it?
