Making your backyard a work of art is no small task, but with many retailers offering beautiful pieces of art for your patio and backyard they have taken the difficulty out of making your landscape into something extraordinary. Even the blandest spaces are given pops of personality with our gorgeous Bonsai plants, outdoor fountains, and outdoor fireplaces. But what distinguishes us from the competition is a selection of unique outdoor offerings. Learn how outdoor canvas art and outdoor rugs can revitalize spaces small and large. Even without any foliage in your backyard, you can still make your outdoor area into something worthy of being framed.

Bonsai Plants

No trees in your backyard? No problem! Bonsai trees are needled evergreens that stay a lovely green all year round, and can withstand any number of seasonal conditions. The Shimpaku Juniper Outdoor Bonsai tree is already 20 years old by the time it is delivered, stands between 12 to 18 inches, and its unusually lovely shape adds flare and artistry to otherwise flat stretches of land. While the 7 year Green Mound Juniper Outdoor Bonsai is the perfect choice for any newbies to raising Bonsais.

Outdoor Rugs

These pretty pieces prove that carpets are not just for your living room. Make any outdoor stretch of land into an escape from the ordinary every day. Selections like the TransOcean Spello Collection's Leopard Outdoor Rug and Tropical Leaf Outdoor perfectly integrates these rugs into any natural setting.

Outdoor Canvas Art

Hang this around your patio to bring tranquility and serene earth tones to an otherwise bland setting. The Siecle 16 Ta Outdoor Canvas Art transports you instantly to a quiet European villa, and the Poulbot Restaurant is an instant upgrade to a beautiful night out at a restaurant. Feeling like getting away from it all? Schedule a staycation by hanging the Ocean Dreams model, and breathe in the fresh air of your backyard while dreaming of seaside splendor.

There are dozens of ways to add individualism to your outside space when you work with retailers or designers with backgrounds in outdoor decorating. A bonsai tree can keep your space green all year round, while our eclectic selection of fountains and fireplaces turns your patio into a sanctuary from the rest of the world. With the help of a pro or a guide found in a book or online, you can turn even the most ordinary area into something beautiful.

Outdoor lights show off your lawn at night, highlighting the best features of your property.
