Sunny days, warmer temperature and longer daylight are luring you outside. Rethink your backyard, front porch, back patio and get inspired by the bright colors of summer.  No matter how large your space is or how much money you can spend on this. Work just with what you already have, redecorate, repaint and replace. Even a few square inches can go a long way. Use these easy and cheap decorating ideas to make your outdoor eating or entertaining look and feel really cool. Add some outdoor lighting using nice and interesting ideas below. Enjoy your summer evenings, weekends and relax.

Decorate your patio with painted pillows.

If you are not handy enough to paint nice butterflies or flowers on the pillows, just try to sew colorful napkin folded pillowcases or use fabric paint to create summery striped pillowcases or tablecloths.

Use floating candles for mood lighting. 

Or use small mason jars and hang candles in the backyard.

Or use seashell for creative lighting.

And bamboo candles are also a great idea.

Large seashells can be used for plant decoration or serve as a vase.

Decorate your walls with plants creating a vertical garden in any shape.

Painted cinder blocks will serve as an outdoor coffee table or flower box.

Or add long pieces of wood to create your own seating place.

Sew together some pillows and use the pillow quilt for outdoor sleepovers or movie viewing.

A mailbox can turn into a great outdoor toolbox.

 Or you can use an old rake for hanging up garden tools.

If you have a large garden with big trees, you can create an awesome wrap around bench.

Do you enjoy long summer days and have supper in the backyard?

Natural stone elements or herb centerpiece are the best fit for you.
