Quirky and Unique Garden Decor Ideas

Inspiring DIY Decor Ideas

This season, it’s all about using garden decor to recreate holiday destinations at home. Think tranquil blues of the Grecian coast, rustic aesthetics of the French countryside, and cheery Sicilian lemon prints, the perfect backdrop for raising a Limencello.

Bringing all this sunshine to your outdoor space is easier than you may think. For the green thumbed DIYers out there, get your quirky garden ideas off the ground with:

Whitewash Painting

A fresh coat of white paint on outside walls and fences instantly gives your outdoor space a bright and airy feel—a simple boost that makes all the difference!

Repurposing Old Furniture

Lift up the ambiance of your home by adding pops of bright and cheerful colours, like sky blues and shades of lemon. Incorporating brighter colours can make your home feel more in tune with nature, reflecting the freshness and renewal of the season. It also creates a cheerful and inviting space for yourself and your guests.

To bring pops of colour into your space, you don't need to repaint your walls or buy new furniture. You can make a big impact by adding small accents- like statement vases, trinket boxes, and wall art.

Our Head Of Buying simply loves our Sumptuous Strawberry Vase, and it's easy to see why! The vase's white base is adorned with vibrant green vines and luscious red strawberries. Place this on your dining table and you'll see an immediate transformation.

Hanging Elements

Whether you’re short of space or have room to grow, hanging elements are your best friend to create a quirky garden that’s welcoming, vibrant, and ultimately you. Rustic wooden shelves are a handy place to store watering cans and plant pots, while statement mirrors are ideal for opening up smaller spaces and reflecting light.

3 Quirky Garden Ideas to Transform Your Outdoor Space

With the DIY sorted, it’s time to tap into the decor details. Make the most of sunny summer days that turn into long, dreamy evenings with our top three unique garden ideas.

1. Pick a Theme for Your Outdoor Area

What words would you choose to describe your summer style? From boho-chic to dolce vita, the theme of your outdoor space should be a reflection of you.

Themes that are trending already this year include bright and fruity Sicilian palettes, which inspired our lovely lemon tile garden cushion.

Recreating cobbled Spanish streets, our floral Claudia outdoor rug offers a quirky spin on traditional garden seating, perfect for layering with a textured bean bag or fleece blanket for cooler evenings!

2. Dive Into the Detail with Quirky Summer Tableware

Once you’re set up with your theme, it’s time to think big and small. Our favourite quirky garden decor ideas start with your staple pieces, like this Limencello deckchair, and are completed by the details, like our brunch stripes outdoor table runner.

Look for complimentary garden tableware that injects personality around your entire outside space. Think pinstripe vases bursting with sunflowers, stacking tumblers for serving ice-cold drinks, and bobble tea light holders for a relaxing and romantic ambience.

3. Let There Be Light(ing)

Keep the sunshine streaming into your outdoor spaces all day and into the evening, with cool and unique garden lighting.

Solar string lights are a super simple but effective way of creating a warm and inviting space to curl up on a summer’s evening, and also bring the festival vibes. Scatter them over your outside table for a setting fit for a fiesta, or string them along your garden fence for a pretty and peaceful atmosphere.

We also love dotting solar lanterns around the garden for a touch of elegance and to keep the light coming all night long!
