Patio Furniture Accessories - Accents for the Better Garden

So you want to help your garden or patio areas out but are low on funds. Here are a few simple ways to improve the look of those areas. Patio furniture can draw attention to the best parts of your yard. But sometimes you are short on space so getting a traditional set will not work.

Why not try a small patio table and chair set? With a table for two, usually a small round table and two chairs, you can sit out and look at your garden up close and personal. Move the table and chairs around to different spots on occasion to get a different perspective on things. Many like to add cushions to existing patio furniture to spruce things up. Remember to mix and match colors, fabrics, textures and patterns. This will let you rotate a variety of combinations through the years. Others choose to put wooden patio tiles round or leading to areas of their gardens or patios. Still others chose to place small sculptors, bird baths or feeders in the garden or patio to give it a new look.

With a little planning you can easily make your space look new and appealing. Using a combination of the ideas shown is also a good idea but be sure to not over do it. Too much patio furniture and accent pieces can detract from the yard and give the appearance of clutter. Think of your yard as being divided into quadrants. Avoid over piling items into any given area. Balance is best, that way the eye will flow from one part of the yard to the next to the next. Granted prominent features will always stand out but you do not want a portion of the yard to get neglected.
