Add Outdoor Lighting
People still like to sit outdoors when it’s night time, especially if it’s warm out – so why not get some nice lights? I love the look of beautiful garden lanterns hanging from trees, and how it can literally transform your space. You can buy them online, and there are lots of options to fit in with your garden style to make it look picturesque.
You can run them from the house, so you don’t need to worry about any electrician costs, and it will create a great atmosphere.
You can also add landscaping lights to your garden as well. I love the way they transform my outdoor space, and they have to be number one on my creative garden ideas list. They were super easy to install, too. Below is the front walk entrance to our home, and the landscape lights transformed the space immediately!
I also added Solar String Lights to my backyard to create a magical space, and I still love how they look. All I did was nest them in between the wood slots in my fence – magical!
Clean up the Clutter
The last thing you want is to be looking at clutter when you are in your garden. This could be anything from old garden gnomes, to some garden appliances handing about. So, it’s important to make sure that you have the relevant storage. If you don’t already have a garage – this could be perfect for storing things that you might want out of the way – but don’t quite want to let go of yet.
One of the best things we ever did for our backyard space was to organize it all and get rid of shrubs we didn’t want, or that was overgrown. You would be amazed at the difference it makes.

An efficient storage option for your garden would be to invest in a steel building, as they can be used as both sheds and garages, depending on the size of your garden. Often, steel building companies give you the option to pick specific dimensions – Armstrong Steel, for example, provides the option for you to design your own building online, so you can easily choose the right size for the storage you need.
Enhancing Your Garden with Quick Chicks
Elevate your garden with a touch of whimsy by introducing Quick Chicks – a creative and playful addition. Incorporate small, vibrant sculptures or ornaments resembling chicks throughout the garden to add charm and character. These quick chicks can be strategically placed among flowers or near pathways, creating a delightful and unexpected visual appeal.
Get some Plants for Decoration
Plants are a great way to make your garden look better. It also won’t cost you a fortune. Currently, I’m reading Houseplants for a Healthy Home: 50 Indoor Plants to Help You Breathe Better, Sleep Better, and Feel Better All Year Round. As much as I love creative garden ideas for the outside, I love them even more for my indoor plants, too!
I’m learning so much from this book about the specific health and wellness benefits of 50 common, easy-to-grow, and popular houseplants while introducing you to new favorites bound to brighten your life.
Be sure to watch this video that explains in detail the wonderful health benefits of plants too.
This A-to-Z guide illuminates the numerous health benefits of 50 common, easy-to-grow houseplants, along with detailed care instructions and beautiful illustrations of each plant. With plant-scaped rooms popping up all over Pinterest, style blogs, and home décor magazines, houseplants are the hottest home accessory right now—and for good reason.
Plants are a quick and easy way to add life, color, and texture to any indoor space. But houseplants offer so much more than just visual interest to a room. They can purify the air, reduce stress, improve sleep—and much more!
If you have a favorite type of plant – it’s a good idea to make a garden project and start planting. As well as making your garden more visually appealing, it could be a great activity in general in the warmer weather and become a hobby. It could end up being a beautiful display once you have worked on it, and it’s not difficult to do.
Create a Shape for Your Lawn
This might sound a little obvious – but mowing your lawn can make your garden so much more picturesque. You can also add some definition by making it into a shape.

You could try a circle, a square, or a rectangle, depending on how your garden sits. You can add further definition by marking out the shape with your plants or something else decorative.
Warm Things Up
If you have your garden looking the way you want it, you may want to enjoy it at night-time when it’s maybe not as warm. If you plan on doing that, it could be a good idea to invest in some garden heaters. That way, you can still enjoy the outside atmosphere but keep warm at the same time.

How cool! Thanks for the history lesson. So fun to learn about how people lived back then. Love to visit one day, my dad grew up in New Jersey.
I like the hanging lights in the tree and the colorful string lights. We love to make different shapes along the grass for definition too.
Oh yes, I just adore lights in the backyard. There’s so much decorating you can do in the yard and lots of it easy and cost friendly too!
