Backyard Patio Decor Ideas with Pergola and Planters

This patio design has such a calming, breezy feel with its soft blue cushions, warm wood tones, and cheerful golden rug. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to sip lemonade and stay a while. The mix of crisp white, cozy textures, and natural materials pulls everything together for an inviting outdoor setup that feels fresh and relaxed.

A few of my favorite parts about this patio design are the matching white planters, the beautiful blue patio furniture cushions, and the decorative wooden privacy screen.

In this post, I’ve included links to all the elements in the designs so that you can recreate the look in your own home. The furniture and decor in this mood board are from Wayfair. The paint colors are from Benjamin Moore.

Room Design

Choosing a paint color can be one of the most challenging aspects of designing a room. Here are four Benjamin Moore paint color options to give you an idea of how the room could look with different wall colors.

Patio Furniture

The blue cushions feel calm and comfy without being boring, and they pop beautifully against the wood frame. It’s such an easy way to make the whole setup feel inviting.

Pitcher

This glass pitcher is perfect to have on hand for lemonade when hosting guests on the patio!

White Planters

These white planters feel classic and fresh, and I like how they frame the corners of the patio. The greenery pops so nicely against the white.

Outdoor Area Rug

This golden rug instantly warms things up and gives the whole setup a cheerful, lived-in feel. It’s one of my favorite parts because it adds personality.

White Pergola

This white pergola brings structure and a cozy vibe to the space without feeling heavy. I love how it frames everything and gives just enough shade for relaxing outside.

Decorative Ice Chest

Keep this decorative ice chest on the coffee table to refill those glasses of lemonade!

Throw Pillows

A couple of simple throw pillows help soften the space and make it feel finished. The blue and white combo ties in so well with the rest of the colors.

Long Planter Box

This long planter box matches the other planters beautifully. It’s great for filling in empty space without feeling too busy.

Decorative Boulder

This rock detail adds a bit of texture and helps the space feel grounded. It works as a little visual anchor without being distracting.

Privacy Planter Screen

The slatted wall creates just the right amount of privacy while still letting in light and air. I like how it adds that warm wood backdrop—it really ties the whole patio together.

Outdoor Wall Sconce

These white outdoor sconces add the prettiest glow once the sun starts to go down. They feel clean and timeless, and they tie in perfectly with the white pergola and planters.

Cups

It’s always nice to have some cute outdoor cups on hand that you can use when hosting guests.

Paint Color Matches
