Outdoor Decor Trends for Spring 2023

As we transition from winter into spring in the coming months, you'll want to rev up your outdoor space so it's comfortable for you and your outdoor party guests for spring and summer. Here are four outdoor decor trends for spring 2023.

1. Vertical Planting

It's one thing to just put up a standard fence to enhance privacy for your backyard festivities. More people are doing vertical planting with their favorite green plants such as hanging foliage, green herbs, bonsai, and bamboo. Turn your privacy shield into a lovely green herb garden

Expert Tip: Sometimes you can find a shoe organizer that is cheaper than a vertical planter equipped with pockets for different plants. Browse Amazon to find the best deals to compare prices. From there, you can find the vertical planter or shoe organizer repurposed into a vertical planter that fits your needs.

2. Multi-Purpose Garden Benches

Garden benches are for more than sitting and enjoying the outside scenery during springtime. Some outdoor benches come equipped with storage functionality. Underneath the seating, the bench is usually a storage drawer where you can hold gardening tools, barbecuing equipment, or extra cups and plates for your next outdoor family gathering in spring or summer.

Investing in multi-purpose products helps your outdoor decor to remain stylish and presentable while also being budget-friendly. If you have a wooden bench, be sure to place it under a patio umbrella so that the spring rain does not reduce its lifespan.

3. Make a Stone Pathway

Homeowners are embracing a cottage-like outdoor decor theme by laying down a stone pathway in a set area of their backyard. Porcelain stones shine in the sunlight on sunny days while limestone or granite stones enhance your backyard's overall naturalistic feel.

If you choose, make a stone pathway out of broken natural stones, which is another popular outdoor decor trend of 2023. The broken stones can represent your walk towards perfecting your imperfections on a zen walk.

Turn the stone pathway in your backyard into an element of a zen garden. Incorporate bamboo plants, a small waterfall, a mini bridge, sand patches, bonsai, Japanese maple, or other types of trees popular for a zen garden.

4. Hand-Made Furniture With Sustainable Materials

Hand-made furniture with sustainable materials is helping homeowners to become more environmentally conscious and budget-friendly with their pockets when revving up their outdoor decor. The best environmentally friendly materials to make outdoor furniture such as rattan and bamboo are better for the environment than the toxic synthetic materials that the furniture industry usually utilizes in manufacturing.

The best environmentally-safe wood that does not emit a lot of unnatural gas includes elm, soft maple, willow, cottonwood, and others. Look for natural wood to build outdoor furniture at your local hardware store or call a designer to custom-make your outdoor furniture from the wood of your choice.

Final Thoughts

We hope that one or more of these outdoor decor trends for spring 2023 can help to make your backyard the place to be for your family and friends as the weather gets warmer. Happy home decorating!
