Divide Your Backyard Into Zones

If you have a large backyard, dividing it into separate areas will allow you to enjoy each area to its fullest. These antique room dividers separate the sitting area from the garden just beyond. Not only does it help create zones but it is also a stylish addition that draws the eyes up.
Look Around Your Home for Decor

If you have shelves of growing plants, spruce it up with some decor items from around your home like a gold picture frame and candlesticks. It’s a free way to add your personal aesthetic to your outdoor space.
Create a Passageway

As soon as you step through this moon gate, you’ll be surrounded by the raised veggie garden beds. The passageway to the veggie garden is not only a stunning decor piece but it helps separate the garden from the rest of the backyard.
Create a Focal Point

Make a Stylish Plant Cover

If you’ve taken the time to create the perfect garden aesthetic, a plant cover can ruin the look. Instead, make your own plant cover that’s as stylish as it is functional.
Display Potted Plants

Keep It Simple

Go With Black

Adding a backdrop for your garden can really help your plants stand out. This black privacy wall helps the green and red colors of the garden to pop instead of blending in with the trees beyond the wall.
Skip the Plants
![A multicolored rock garden in a backyard](https://www.thespruce.com/thmb/ZsvQcZQ3OH5RKvRARabdJNnFOGY=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/mochagirlplacerockgarden-f8149fa3e65f4878b54a5853a2ec7ba6.jpeg)
Plants aren’t the only way to create a visually-appealing garden. A rock garden in a variety of colors and patterns is a one-of-a-kind feature to add to your backyard, especially if you don’t want the maintenance of a traditional garden.

You wouldn’t normally pick the color white as a vibrant color, but it really does pop against a lush green garden. Whether you choose to plant white flowers or incorporate white decor items, the contrast will create a stunning visual impact. This backyard features an intricate gate that acts as a simple accent piece that makes a big statement.
Customize With Signs

Add Shade and Style

Not only is a shade cloth essential for providing shade during hot summer months, but it can also act as a design detail. This greenhouse gets an update with some draped burlap that brings rustic charm to the space.

What’s cozier and more welcoming than the warm glow of candlelight? This greenhouse gets some personality with a variety of thrifted items, from the candle holder to the patterned saucer plate and glass cloche.

This desert garden gets splashes of color with a little paint and furniture to match. What was once a plain concrete slab is now the focal point of this backyard.
