Our gardens have become more important than ever before as we spend more time at home. Why not give yours a vintage-inspired makeover with these décor ideas?

Furniture

Choose classic pieces with a subtle nod to the vintage trend.

1. Rattan was popular in the 1950s, but avoid more modern shapes and stick to traditional chair and table silhouettes with decorative backs and legs.

2. Look for furniture with a distressed finish for a rustic, aged style, such as the Gray Distressed Extendable Modern Outdoor Patio Furniture Foldable Butterfly Dining Table.

3. Add a floral-edged or highly patterned floor rug to give a cozy and warm feel to your outdoor seating area; there are endless color and pattern choices available.

4. A screen divider can be used to create zones in your garden. Use this beautiful White Wood Garden Privacy Screen Room Divider white screen to separate your dining area from the kids’ playing area, for example.

5. No garden makeover is complete without an outdoor fire pit or log burner to keep things cozy and warm on chilly nights. This Rustic Deer in Woods US Steel Wood Burning Outdoor Patio Fire Pit, with its quirky deer motif and exposed logs, is great for creating a vintage feel.

Planters

Every garden needs statement planters to add greenery and character.

7. Group a selection of interesting and contrasting planters together to give an eclectic feel.

8. Choose solid, bulky planters such as Brown Sturdy Wood Flower Fruits and Vegetables Garden Planters, 3 Pieces but plant them with delicate flowers to make a striking contrast.
