Affordable Garden Decor Ideas

Summer is just around the corner - it’s time to think about garden decor ideas. Nothing beats relaxing in a beautiful garden filled with ornaments, flowers and pretty lighting. And we’re here to help you create your dream garden, no matter what that may look like.

Whether your budget is £10 or £100, our garden decor ideas are affordable, creative and easy to get hold of…. Because we sell every type of garden decor right here at The Range.

Ready to feel inspired? Let’s get started.

The smallest touch can make the biggest difference. Why not pop into your local store and fill your basket with quirky gnomes and a few planters? Even a £2 solar spotlight helps to create a gorgeous space as the sun sets.

Here’s our best garden decor ideas!

1. Pop Stake Lights Across the Grass Edge

If you’re working with a small yard with a nice square patch of grass, enhance the area with a few stake lights. These little beams of lights also look good pushed neatly into a flower bed.

Some of our favourites include torch style lights, colour-changing globe lights and those that look like flowers on a stem. These handy lights help you to achieve the outdoor look you want with ease.

Browse stake lights - prices start from just £1!

2. Mix and Match Funky Pots and Planters

The great thing about pots and planters is they can be as traditional or as wacky as you want them to be. Whether you’re just looking for a batch of basic pots to plant some seeds, or fancy some decorative planters to inject some character into your garden, both ideas are worth exploring.

  •     Repurpose an old fence or find some palettes to create a container wall. Purchase plastic pots and tie them against the fence for a rustic feel.
  •     Make an empty wall more interesting by adding a variety of ceramic planters. Choose animal prints, polka dots and any other eye-catching patterns to really turn heads.

Shop pots and planters in every shape and size.

3. Hang some wall art outside

The garden is just another space to show off your personality and all of your favourite things. Outdoor wall art is often forgotten about, but it’s the perfect garden decor idea for small spaces.

From large window-style mirrors to funky light-up bar signs, your choices are endless.

Many of our outdoor wall art pieces come with all the necessary fixings, so it’s a fuss-free process getting them up.

4. Enjoy tranquillity with a water feature

If your garden is your favourite place to escape the chaos, a water feature will bring you all the calmness you need.

  •     Depending on your garden size and budget, you could create a beautiful focal point with a large water fountain and wishing well.
  •     You don’t need to go big and fancy to enjoy the satisfying sound of trickling water. Some smaller water features can be popped on top of your garden table as a centrepiece.

5. Light up the night with citronella candles

Everyone knows how much a simple candle can transform the ambience of your home. The outdoors is no exception. Outdoor candles can be conveniently placed into a stakeholder, or in a large cement trough on your outdoor patio table.

Citronella candles are also a handy insect repellent - they look good and keep critters away at the same time!

Tip: If you’d prefer to keep the area flame-free, opt for a lantern with battery-powered candles or tea lights.

6. Embrace magic, make a fairy garden

Magical gardens aren’t just for the kids. Fairy gardens don’t cost a lot to make, but they look so enchanting.

You can grab a couple of pots and a bunch of character ornaments to set up a lovely scene at the end of the garden. Then you can start to collect different flower seeds to complete the look.

Watch as it grows into a stunning spot to relax. Your kids or grandkids will adore it!

7. Collect cushions and throws for comfort 

Imagine yourself in front of the firepit late at night, cuddled into your garden sofa with a blanket.

Nights like that call for stylish cushions and throws to decorate your garden seating area
 

  • Choose a colour scheme that matches your furniture. There are bright Summer shades and neutral colours; it’s all about personal preference. 
  • Keep your fluffy throws in an outdoor storage box to keep them away from the rain. 

Get comfy outdoors, purchase outdoor cushions and throws!

8. Lay down an outdoor rug for added style

Outdoor rugs are a must-have for any seating arrangement. They’re super stylish, but they also bring the whole look together. From Aztec designs to boho designs, there’s a style for everyone.

Having a waterproof rug outdoors keeps your feet nice and warm, meaning you don’t need to feel the hardness and coldness of the brick floor.

Treat your toes to a cosy outdoor rug.

9. You can never have too many fairy lights

Taking us back to lighting, fairy lights are always a winner. The best part about our fairy lights is that there’s so much choice. We have unique string lights with different shapes and fun colours, as well as classic twinkling lights, perfect for hanging across your fence.

  •     Pick a 5m set of solar fairy lights to lay across any trees in your garden. This is a wonderful way of creating a magical setting.

10. Invest in a relaxing bench

Once you’ve made your garden a serene place to lounge and watch the world go by, you need a place to sit.

Even if you already have a family table and chairs, a 2-seater bench placed at the end of the garden is a real treat. Take in the nature around you as you get lost in your favourite book. You’ll be amazed how therapeutic this simple action can be.

Find your new favourite garden bench.
