How to Use Accessories and Decor to Enhance Your Teak Patio
There's no better feeling than completing your garden set-up with some stunning new furniture that’s sure to impress any guest. That being said, even with stylish teak pieces making your outdoor setting pop, you might notice that it lacks a certain, Je ne sais quoi. Utilising some of these garden furniture decor ideas could be the key to your perfect outdoor space enhancement.
Reading Your Space
Before you start shopping for accessories, it’s a good idea to map out your space first. If you have a larger 8 seater table and chairs set, you might not want something like an extra large planter which could put your area at risk of appearing cluttered.
Similarly, if your patio is more for solo relaxing than al fresco dining and you only have a couple of teak chairs and a coffee table to enhance, smaller items such as some brass ornaments or a magazine rack will not contribute a lot of presence to the setting.
A good mixture of larger and smaller items could really balance your outdoor space out, but the key thing to remember is this is your space, and therefore should reflect your own personal style.
Teak Accessories
Whether you have teak, rattan, or a mixture of both in your garden furniture, teak patio accessories seamlessly fit into every setting. A teak planter, whether by itself or part of a set, is a great way to add some style and colour into your garden. You have the choice of whichever plant, shrub or flowers you like the most to brighten up your outdoor area, and you have the added benefit of changing these to suit the seasons or the occasion.
If you’re a fan of hosting loved ones, why not impress them whilst simultaneously making your life easier. A drinks trolley is a fun way to show off to guests whilst letting you easily move things from indoors to outdoors, and the addition of a lazy Susan to your teak dining table prevents any awkward elbows from interrupting conversations.
Statement Pieces
Now not everything needs to seamlessly match to showcase your outdoor space enhancement. Why not throw in some contrasting styles or materials to create a more modern feel to your garden. Utilising a mixture of rattan and teak pieces, for example, can create a striking mixture of aesthetics that are sure to impress any guests.
Outdoor rugs, pillows and mismatched vintage accessories are an excellent way to add a pop of colour to your outdoor setting. It also prevents your patio or garden from appearing generic, allowing your unique personality to shine through.
There’s no need to limit yourself to the daytime, either, with LED and string lights being excellent options to add ambience to those evenings best enjoyed under the stars. For the colder months, you might even benefit from adding a fire pit - which is a great way to engage with loved ones over a comforting communal fire that also adds lovely natural light.
Outdoor Space Enhancement
We hope we’ve given you some garden furniture decor ideas that’ll elevate your outdoor setting in both aesthetics and comfort. The most important thing to remember is that this is your unique space, and should always reflect that so you can enjoy and feel at home in your garden or patio for many years to come.
