With just a few decor pieces and some simple tricks, you — yes, you! — can turn that outdoor space into the backyard of your dreams. This week’s edition of Decor Resolutions will show you how to style a yard, no matter how much space you have to play with. So grab your potted plants and scroll down to see how we’d style the area for the boho home, the minimalist abode, and the preppy space.
HOW TO DECORATE A BOHO BACKYARD
Add ambiance and charm to your backyard by stringing up strands of watermelon string lights across your space. Bring all the boho textures into play with glossy clay planters, a chunky wood side table, glass candles, and a wicker tray. Then cozy up in an Acapulco wicker chair and tribal throw blanket for the happiest reading-slash-rosé nook ever.
