How to Blend Your Home and Garden Decor

A wonderful addition to the ambiance of your home can be creating a lovely combination of home and garden decor. Beautiful plants and garden sculpture brought inside and comfortable furniture with tables and lamps taken into the garden expands and blends both spaces. Plants and flowers placed in colorful pots on a plant dolly can be rolled into the house to brighten the room with color and fragrance. A plant dolly will make it easy to move them outside as needed to re-pot them or give the plant a thorough watering.

An indoor fountain will add the sound of a waterfall which is soothing and maybe the fountain will be a welcome home for some goldfish. Add greenery around the fountain and you will have a little tropical area. Screens with birds and flowers can expand the area to whatever size you need. This would definitely add creatively to your home and garden décor.

Create a mural on your bare patio walls, hang mirrors in small areas outside to reflect a special hidden space. Consider indoor-outdoor carpet under the seating area with a small portable fire pit to warm the outdoor space. Even pictures can be hung outside. Treat your patio or garden area like another room. Continue the style from your adjoining room or create a completely different look. Use the same types of accessories for the outdoor area, taking into consideration the possibility of exposure to the elements. Add pillows and cushions to the chairs, a foot rest, use bowls with artificial fruit on the tables.

You will find a myriad of ideas in home and garden décor magazines. Keep a file to store pictures of your favorite sun rooms or patio and garden areas. You will be able to look over this file anytime to refresh your ideas and make additions and changes to your adjoining home and garden rooms.

If your budget allows, think of installing French doors to the entrance to the patio. This will bring light indoors and you will be able to see the garden from the inside even if the weather is not suitable for going outside.

Be sure to check out the internet and the many television programs that feature ideas created by talented designers for the use of their viewers. You will find any number of them will add to your home and garden décor. Just keep your goal in mind and you will see inspiration all around you.
