Pull it all together
Before you even start filling your online shopping basket with new patio furniture and quirky planters, make sure that you’ve decided on your theme. Unless you’re the sort of person who likes a really eclectic backdrop then the easiest way to tie everything together is to fit all the parts of your backyard upgrade into a theme.
It doesn’t have to be a clever theme, or even a complicated one. It can be as simple as “terracotta” or “art deco,” but choosing accessories, plants, or furniture to fit means that your space will feel more cohesive, and you can relax knowing that your vision is coming across.
