This is a collaborative post. Thank you for supporting the posts which make this blog possible.
Thinking of ways you can upgrade your outdoor oasis? With a lovely garden or backyard to call your own, it is better used when you make it your own! No one can really tell you how to decorate your garden. But there are some trending DIY ideas you can try to spruce it up.
How About a Custom Shed?
Sheds seem to have come out of nowhere as a must-have garden addition. Sheds not only look great, but they offer tons of practical and functional space, too. Sure, you can just throw your tools and lawnmower in there. But there are many more uses for custom sheds. As part of your next garden renovation project, why not consider the shed for some TLC? Trending ideas include an outdoor bar area, poolside changing rooms, and even outdoor saunas. Ooooh!
A Relaxing DIY Fire Pit
Like our relatives of old, sitting around a fire and weaving tales is as old as time itself. While we don’t rely on an open fire for survival these days, the mystique remains. For some reason, we love to huddle around fires and enjoy each other’s company. Today, the DIY fire pit makes a great impression on guests and adds a cozy spot in the garden. There’s nothing quite like cuddling next to the fire under the stars, and the kids have an excuse to grab the marshmallows.
Upgrade Your Outdoor Oasis with Lights
It’s all about lighting when you want a cozy night time space to relax in. Traditional garden lights are an easy way to highlight the best features of the space. But you can take it easy on these and instead use more LED lights. LED lights can use up to 90% less electricity, so money saved! But you can also control smart LEDs. Smart LEDs will connect to your phone for patterns and changing the colour, making LEDs one of the most popular interior design trends today.
Build an Outdoor Kitchen
When is a BBQ, not a BBQ? When it’s a flinging outdoor kitchen? Okay, so this one might be more for the foodie and cooking enthusiasts. But come on! Outdoor space for cooking like you mean it is something that can’t be ignored. Imagine saving yourself 30 seconds by not having to walk to the actual kitchen. That’s the stuff of dreams right there! Seriously though, an outdoor kitchen means you can get more creative with the BBQ than the usual burned sausage!
Prep Some Patio Planters
A garden should flourish. Yet what a garden should look like is quite subjective. There are those among us who love a concrete garden. Yes, that’s a thing. And it’s rather stunning when done correctly. But even a concrete garden needs some flair. If you are the straight line, control type, which is likely with a concrete garden, you can add a bit of coordinated greenery with planters. Planters are excellent for strategic placement without upsetting a carefully curated balance.
Summary
A custom shed is a stunningly practical way to upgrade your garden oasis. Lights will also help with the overall ambiance. Planters give you full control over the placement of the greenery.
