Elevate your summer outdoor decor ideas with a classic water feature with modern materials and colors like a flat, black, matte finish. Not only will it feel soothing every day, but it will also be a luxurious addition to any well-reviewed garden. And it doesn’t have to cost a small fortune.

Our interior designers loved how simple, yet visually bold and effective the aforementioned outdoor water feature is.

Classic pergola

Nothing beats the romantic, Mediterranean-inspired feel of a classic wooden pergola hanging over you. Use yours to block out the sun’s rays and keep the fun outdoors feeling polished and intimate.

And make sure you bring plenty of dramatic vines to grow and wrap around.

Open plan

If you live in an area that has a warm year-round climate, invest in sliding or accordion glass doors to make your outdoor space appear larger while enjoying the best of both worlds.

Glass pergola

While the idea of ​​a pergola is nothing entirely new when it comes to summer outdoor decor, opting for a weatherproof glass alternative that while not blocking the sun still helps keep leaves and dirt out is infinitely cool.

Planters group

For a visually appealing feeling of consistency, grouping plants in different scales in matching containers gives your summer outdoor decor a sense of uniformity. And it will keep the eye calm and moving.

Rattan hammock

Enjoying a balmy afternoon in a hammock is a surefire way to enjoy your time outdoors, and even better when you get one with a sturdy rattan construction. Because at some point we were all mutilated at least once and fell out of woven hammocks.

Charming courtyard

If you have a big budget for summer outdoor decor, investing in a memorable courtyard feel will infinitely increase the resale value of your home. And at the end of the day you will never want to leave the idyllic borders.

Color, color, color

For a while, outdoor summer decor has relied heavily on a muted color palette and soft hues. If neutral and soft colors are not your inspiration, consider the trendiest decorating ideas for summer.
