forgotten decor: backyard

Designing the look of your home doesn't stop indoors. This is something many of us forget. Curb appeal and backyard space (if you're lucky enough to have it) is just as important, but most often forgotten. Try to think of your patio and garden behind your home as an outdoor extension of your living space. There are some great pieces that maintain high design, but have the functionality and durability for outdoor use. In fact, many of us use outdoor pieces as indoor decor as well. Today's garden decor site, Vivre, isn't that at all. Its a site that encompasses home decor and fashion among other things. But they've got some great pieces you could use outdoors. And at the very least, they've got some pieces you can look to for great inspiration when you've got to shop on a stricter budget.
And don't forget, outdoor spaces are the best to experiment with bold colors because of the open-air space and natural colors of your yard... so take chances and make bold decisions, you won't regret it.
