So to find out all our tips keep reading:
Halloween
The first celebration quickly approaching is Halloween, and the first thing that surely comes to mind when thinking of Halloween is pumpkins! Their bright vivid orange colours are a great way to get your outdoor area into the Halloween spirit. However, if the orange is not your style luckily for you, pumpkins come in all shapes sizes and colours! So if neutral is more your vibe, white pumpkins can create that Halloween spirit in a more casual way - plus if your more of the creative type, carving your pumpkins and adding in candles at night can give your garden a more fun spooky glow
Another top tip for decorating your outdoor area is heading down to your local Supermarket or Arndale, they will have tones of fun and inexpensive decorations for you to put up! Try getting some fake cobwebs and draping them around your outdoor furniture or pergola system, or if you want to go ALL out why not buy some creepy headstones and ghoulish figures to turn your garden into a spooky graveyard. That will be sure to give your guests a scare - and to bask in your ghoulish ambience, if you have them why not play some scary music through your integrated speakers to set the mood even more.
Christmas
Next up is Christmas one of the most joyful times of the year, Christmas is a very beautiful and happy time of the year and decorations play a very important part in that. Whether you are wanting to go all out on your decorations outdoors and fill your neighbours with envy, or just creating a small pretty Christmas atmosphere for you and guests we have some ideas for you to pinch:
Lighting is very important for getting into the Christmas spirit and there’s lots of ways you can incorporate it into your outdoor space.

Another lovely way you can decorate your garden is by getting a Christmas tree, why limit your Christmas trees to indoors get one for outside – the great thing about Christmas trees is you can get them in all shapes and sizes so there is something for everyone. Whether you want a ginormous tree filled to the brim with light and ornaments or a little potted on with a tiny star on top the opportunities are endless with them and a perfect addition to your outdoor décor. Remember to keep in mind that red, green and gold are great Christmas colours.
There are also lots of decorations fit for the outdoor Christmas experience, such as inflatables and statues like nutcrackers and reindeers, Christmas is a very jolly time so why not go all out to create a tad more of that Christmas magic.
