Take your pick with these stylish garden additions.

Whether it's a stylish garden rug, a sweet-scented citronella candle, or some boho lanterns, upgrading your garden decor is one of the easiest ways to add life and character to your outdoor space. If your garden is looking a little bare, take a look at these affordable garden accessories for some fresh inspiration.

Your garden decor should reflect your unique style just as much as your interior decor does – yet it's often left as an afterthought. Styling your garden to make it more 'you' might seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.

Creating a characterful, welcoming outdoor space really can be as simple as adding a few new garden accessories. Think about the things you'd consider when styling your interior: what colours, patterns and materials work for you? Is your decor maximalist or minimalist? Extend your interior colour schemes to your outdoor space, layering colour and texture to create an inviting space that reflects your individual style.

Before you start thinking about a full garden renovation (which could become very costly), consider the different types of garden decor that could transform your space. If you're looking for a few ways to revitalise your garden without breaking the bank, here are a few ideas:

It doesn't matter if you've got a small balcony or a large garden – we've got garden decor ideas for every space. Take a look at our must-have accessory picks for 2023.

If industrial decor is your thing, you'll love this black wire outdoor lantern. It's the perfect combination of urban and modern.

Editor's styling tip: Style with hanging festoon lights, a black and white outdoor rug, and a backdrop of flourishing foliage for a chic, industrial aesthetic.

Designed with carefree layers of pattern, texture and colour, this tasselled rug would look on-trend in any boho-inspired garden.

Editor's styling tip: Style with rattan lanterns and burnt orange cushions to create a garden brimming with bohemian bliss.

Full of rustic charm, this arched window mirror would make a great addition to both traditional and contemporary gardens alike.

Editor's styling tip: Hang on a garden wall surrounded by draping ivy plants to create your very own country farmhouse garden.

This 70s-inspired rattan side table has been designed with a rimmed tray for displaying plants and holding drinks. It's a must-have if you want to add a little bit of fun to your garden.

Editor's styling tip: Add a potted plant to the table top and style with macrame wall-hangings on nearby fences to complete your boho look.

Create a country farmhouse look with these striped cushion covers. They feature a timeless striped pattern and come in a set of two.

Editor's styling tip: Place these cushions on a garden bench alongside a draped throw for a cosy yet rustic setting.

Create a relaxing ambience in your garden with a portable speaker. This powerful speaker comes complete with a colour changing light that you can adjust depending on your mood.

Editor's styling tip: This speaker would look great with Scandinavian-inspired rattan outdoor furniture.

Recreate Moroccan nights at home with this geometric outdoor rug. It's 120 x 170cm in size and is made from durable polypropylene.

Editor's styling tip: Style with vibrant outdoor cushions, patterned throws and Moroccan lanterns for a tropical feel.

Ideal for a traditional or contemporary garden, make the most of your outdoor space – even if it's limited – by planting in containers. The neutral hue, high gloss effect, and subtle branch embossed emblem makes it a stylish finishing touch for a garden.

Editor's styling tip: Fill this pot with spring blooms, such as daffodils and violas, to add colour to your outdoor space.

Made with a brushed gold frame and a simple glass cylinder, these gorgeous lanterns are the perfect mixture of minimalist and luxury.

Editor's styling tip: Fill the cylinders with tall pillar candles and pop on your outdoor dining table for a warm, inviting summer glow.

Who said mirrors were only for indoors? Complete your industrial look with a black framed outdoor mirror.

Editor's styling tip: Hang this garden mirror on an external wall with surrounding black hanging planters for an outdoor urban jungle look.

Made from durable powder-coated steel, this traditional wall clock will last for many winters to come. It features a timeless design that'll look impressive in any style garden.

Editor's styling tip: Hang this clock in the centre of an exterior wall to create a captivating focal point. You could even light it up with solar powered spotlights!

These waterproof outdoor pillar candles look just as good as the real thing. They come with a built-in six-hour timer so you don't have to worry about switching them off at the end of the night.

Editor's styling tip: Create a shabby-chic outdoor picnic space by layering throws and cushions on the ground, finishing off with a selection of battery-powered candles in each corner.

The final piece to your garden decor puzzle is outdoor string lights. We're loving these solar line lights for a warm, Moroccan look. Alternatively, you could opt for rattan string lights for a more bohemian aesthetic.

Designed by All Roads in collaboration with Anthropologie, these yucca cushions are a must-have if you're looking to achieve the Moroccan look. They're made from cotton, so it's best not to leave them outside overnight, but they're perfect for creating that cosy living room look outdoors.

Editor's styling tip: Place these yucca cushions on your garden furniture and finish off the look with a matching throw and string lights.

Made from hardwearing polypropylene, this neutral rug is hardwearing enough for outdoor use all year round. We're loving the neutral colourways against the bold, aztec pattern.

Editor's styling tip: This is another piece that would look great with Scandi garden furniture. Pair with neutral outdoor cushions for an outdoor Scandi sanctuary.
