15 Outdoor Decor Ideas That Will Make a Big Impact
Briefly

In 2025, outdoor decor trends are shifting towards incorporating indoor design elements, with an emphasis on mismatched furniture for a more curated aesthetic. Key suggestions from designer Adnan Anwar include using outdoor rugs to define spaces and adding height with pedestals for sculptures and plants. Budget-friendly tips like buying secondhand, adding mirrors, and accessorizing with potted plants are recommended for creating inviting outdoor areas. Practical materials like iron, wicker, and teak are favored, alongside the addition of greenery to enhance the living space.
"In general, people are just starting to apply the elements and best practices of indoor decor to outdoor," says Adnan Anwar, the founder of Adnan Anwar Design.
"Going the secondhand route and completing DIY projects will help bring your outdoor patio to life without breaking the bank," Anwar notes.
"Bare walls make an outdoor room feel so much less finished and inviting," the designer says.
Anwar is partial to iron, wicker, coated aluminum, and teak, and also appreciates ceramic and concrete.
