Decorating can be hard, especially when we are dealing with outside space. How then do we make our apartment stand out in comparison to all of our neighbors?
Well, a good start would be to maybe clean up the red plastic cups from last night’s party. Just a thought.
There are numerous ways to brighten up your yard and all you really need in order to start is some ideas. So read below to find out the main secrets of having pizazz.
Decorate everything.
There really is no excuse for having a boring looking house. I know they say that the inside is what really matters, but the outside never hurts here. To start off with, if living in a house, then you can definitely paint. Paint the walls, the door, and the mailbox. Go crazy, but not too crazy.
You can purchase door mats, numbers for your street address, and pretty window shades. They should have any of these items relatively cheap at any local Walmart or hardware store. Just ask Siri if all else fails.
If you have a porch, then go at it with tables, chairs, cool lights and lanterns, and frames. Never forget about the frames. Really make it your own, people. You can purchase awesome umbrellas, or a hammock even, and then toss a throw on it for the cool nights that randomly decide to show up. You can never be too prepared.
The point is, decorating your outside space can really add that special “it” factor to your house or apartment, and leave all of your neighbors wishing they could be as cool as you. Don’t you want to be that guy?
Liven it up.
Although this task may seem genuinely simple, you would be surprised at how many make that major mistake. Do not be that person. This is the perfect chance to really get creative and show ‘em what you’ve got. In other words, dress to impress. Personification is also allowed here.
To assist the liveliness, put up a basketball hoop, throw up some cool lights (yes, lights are super vital), and set up a volleyball net. Then you can always have horseshoes, ring-toss, and a bird feeder. Basically, you want it to appear as though someone truly lives there and makes the most out of their outside area. Presentation is key.
If you are in college, then you can easily place a beer pong table out in the front yard (which could potentially appear as trashy, forewarning), or showcase your awesome bicycle that you maybe use once every three weeks … months. Point is, there is literally room to have your house looking like the best on the block. No excuses.
You can set up neat rocks near the porch, or have a passageway of stones leading to your front door. This way, you can physically see how often your walkway is being used and then yell at visitors if they step on your grass. It is fun.
Garden.
Even if you happen to be a male, you can definitely still get away with gardening. If anything, it may help you with getting the ladies if one jogs by exactly when you are digging out weeds. You are welcome.
You can plant various plants (go figure), tasty vegetables, and just have amazing, manicured bushes. Just stop by at a local garden center or store and pick up a few packs of seeds. Then just start planting away.
Warning: it may become slightly addicting which in turn may leave you with way more than what you originally set out for. But perfect opportunity to host a fruit stand on the weekend if I do say so myself.
A super simple and cheap way to have a garden is to purchase flowerpots, or make some of your own by using mason jars or old cups. Then you should not have to worry too much about the upkeep or even watering them. That is as long as you receive a decent amount of rain in your area. Let us hope that is the case.
Just make sure that you do not allow the plants and veggies to die and you are already on your way to having your place rocking all of the pizazz possible.
Though decorating your outside apartment or house can be a quite intimidating project, there are super easy ways of making it shine. The idea is to decorate, but do not overdo it. Make it cool and personal if all else fails.
Add elements that represent your individual style, and make it look inviting. And even if you are not anywhere close to labeling yourself as a gardener, start planting something ASAP. In little to no time, you will have a house that showcases so much pizazz that you may have to take it down a few notches.
