Adding pretty outdoor decor items to your front yard makes your yard feel cheery and increases its curb appeal. Best of all, many of these items are inexpensive. This allows you to make improvements that add value to your home without hurting your budget. It’s a win-win situation. Here are five cheery spring decor items that you can add to your front yard.

1. String Lights

Adding a set or two of string lights to your back patio adds a soft, romantic glow to your front yard in the evening. These magical decorative items are a bit like having fireflies around you at all times. According to Country Living, they’re great for adding a glow to a big tree, a porch, or a front walkway.

2. Bold Colors and Patterns

Accent pieces, like little throw pillows, blankets, lawn cushions, and potted plants, give you a good excuse to add spots of brilliant color to your front yard. If you have a front porch with any kind of furniture on it, you can brighten these furnishings up by adding just a few inexpensive pillows or throw rugs to the mix.

3. Miniature Windmills

Miniature windmills add a bit of fun to your front flower beds, and if you invest in solar leaf windmills with a built-in lighting system, you can add more light to the front yard in an unobtrusive but pretty way. The solar panels on these units charge up the internal battery, which powers the lights at night.

4. Spring Door Wreaths

Once the domain of the holiday season, door wreaths are now a viable decorating option at any time of the year. They’re an inexpensive way to add pops of color to your front yard area without a lot of hassle. Just find suitable wreaths for the spring and then, replace your winter wreath with the more colorful spring-themed wreath.

5. Mix and Match

Who says outdoor furniture needs to match to be pretty? Sometimes, the loveliest outdoor decor schemes employ a bit of mismatched charm. It’s easy to set this decor idea in motion. If you spot a piece that you love at a garage or estate sale, pick it up. In this way, you can add chairs to your porch sitting area or add a cool wind chime or trellis to the garden.

By the time the spring rolls around, most people want to add more color and cheerfulness to their yard. They’re tired of all the winter dreariness. If you count yourself among these people, then the five decor ideas in this post are a good place to start.
