If you want to update your garden this year, there’s no easier way to do so than by introducing some inexpensive outdoor accessories. With these, and minimal effort or input required, you can completely redesign your outdoor space. Thankfully, these small pieces are also one of the most cost-effective ways you can give your backyard a whole new look! You’ll be delighted to hear that regardless of size, you can include all of the garden accessories listed below to completely transform your patio, balcony, or yard. This year, EZ Living Furniture has welcomed heaps of brand-new accessories and previously-loved favourites for your garden, and with a bigger and even better range than ever before, there’s lots to choose from. So, without further ado, let’s get decorating our balconies, patios, and terraces with some stunning and inexpensive outdoor additions.

Santa Cruz Large Slat Planter from EZ Living Furniture.

1. Planters

Sometimes, all you need is a planter or two to reinvigorate your outside area. Planters can give even the smallest of patios, balconies and terraces a new lease of life and they are available in both big, medium, and small sizes. Our Santa Cruz and Cadiz Planters were a big hit last year and are set to be just as popular this year. The Santa Cruz Planters are crafted from weatherproofed acacia wood and feature a slatted design. They are sure to be an eye-catching finishing touch for any area of your garden, especially when showcasing your favourite flowers. If you are something of a flower or plant enthusiast, then our Cadiz Planters have a lot more available pot space to play with. 

Everly Candle Holders Pastel Colours From EZ Living Furniture.

2. Outdoor Candle Holders

Candle holders mightn't be the first thing you think of when decorating your backyard, but that doesn’t mean that they are any less important than the more well-known Hurricane Lanterns. Including one or multiple outdoor candle holders can instantly turn your garden from a “meh” to a “wow” especially when the sun starts to go down. These small additions are perfect for al fresco dining and can make it seem to the untrained eye that you’re an expert in the field of interior design, or should we say, exterior design. The Everly Candle Holders could add a subtle hint of colour to your space and blend with any existing decor because they come in a set of three and a variety of pleasing pastel colours. Be sure to choose the Everly, if you are looking for something that can be moved around your garden with ease because they also feature circular handles.

So, what's stopping you? Well, if you're worried about having to relight your candles over and over again when a gust of wind comes along, don't. We suggest investing in some battery-powered taper candles that will stay lit even in the worst weather conditions.

3. Outdoor Vases

Again, this is something that you’ve probably never even thought of bringing into your backyard before, but it’s definitely worth considering. Your garden should be an extension of your interior, especially if you want to make a statement to your visitors. This means that smaller accessories such as vases are needed to add that finishing touch, only this time, they’re to accompany your garden furniture rather than your indoor dining table. Outdoor vases also allow avid gardeners to showcase their latest creations whether that be a rose bush that’s recently blossomed or a budding blossom tree that’s beginning to display its beautiful pink tone.

Spica Outdoor LED Table Lamp from EZ Living Furniture.

4. Outdoor Lights

While fairy lights certainly have their place in the garden, this year we’ve expanded our offerings. It’s not all about string lights this summer! You’ll be excited to learn that this year, we’ve introduced a range of beautiful outdoor table lamps. The Spica, Altair, and Pyxis LED lights are decorative features as they are, even when switched off, but when turned on, they allow you to light up your garden and entertain well into the early hours. These lamps are also highly portable with some even including handles for convenience. Being able to move these from one place to another also provides a greater amount of flexibility when it comes to your outdoor decor - be sure to pick up yours now - before they sell out!

Reeds Pastel Outdoor Trays from EZ Living Furniture.

5. Outdoor Trays

If you’ve been following us over the last number of years, you’ll probably already know the best way to accessorise your coffee table, dining table, and kitchen counter. What do all of these have in common? A tray of course. The best way to group smaller accessories together, whether that be your vases or candle holders, is by using a tray. By doing so, the smaller items seem more deliberate in your decor and introduce themselves as a larger grouping. So, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to use the same technique outdoors. Thankfully, this summer you can pick up a set of two Reeds Outdoor Trays and because they come in extremely blendable pastel colours, they will match perfectly with your new candle holders too!

Luxor Abstract Outdoor Rug from EZ Living Furniture.

6. Outdoor Rugs

The one thing you mustn't be without this year is a beautiful outdoor rug! Outside rugs are trending this year, and are set to be in every garden, so if you are someone who loves to stay on trend, and even be ahead of the crowd, pick yourself up a stunning outdoor rug. You might also be surprised to hear that rugs have several useful functions. Similar to how a tray groups accessories, outdoor rugs can group those large items of garden furniture together. And this isn’t their only use, rugs are great for hiding those areas you don’t wish to be seen by guests either. So, if you’re anxious thinking about visitors spotting that green-coloured patio that you never got around to power washing, fear not, hide it with a rug. Simple. With various designs and sizes to pick from in many retailers, the only difficulty you might encounter is deciding on your favourite one.

Remember, it’s important to choose a rug that is listed as an “outdoor rug” as they are made from weatherproofed materials. So, if you’re thinking of using an interior rug for your garden, please refrain from doing so - it will likely become damaged in a matter of days.

Alhambra Parasol from EZ Living Furniture.

7. Parasols

You could argue that these aren’t accessories, but we’d argue right back. Their primary function is to block us from the harsh elements when sat outdoors, whether that’s the sun beating down on us or a spot of rain that sometimes appears out of nowhere. Although extremely useful, parasols aren’t as much of a necessity as garden furniture which is needed if you want to sit and relax in any way. This is why we have taken it upon ourselves to categorise these as accessories. Parasols are the best accompaniment to your outdoor sets and if you happen to have some leftover money at the end of the month, they are definitely worth investing in. The Alhambra above has a beautiful natural beige shade and would look great in any outdoor space.

So with summer just around the corner, it’s time to start stocking up on those garden accessories, before they sell out. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
