Spring is the time of year when the entire world awakens from the dreary days of winter and dons its most gay attire.  So why should the flowers and the trees have all the fun?  At Pier 1, there are so many bright and colorful outdoor accessories which could instantly jazz up any backyard decor.

For instance, new outdoor cushions and pillows can immediately dress your existing outdoor furniture for spring, by bringing in a splash of bold prints and colors.  I loved the Red Scattered Daisy pillows and cushions for their rainbow-striped borders and colorful flowers.  What's great about these pillows is that they can also serve to spruce up your indoor decor as well and make your entire home more inviting, both inside and out.

At Pier 1, you don't have to spend a fortune on your new spring update either.  They have very affordable outdoor rugs, such as the Brown Scroll Indoor/Outdoor Rug, which will make an instant statement as well as feel wonderful underneath bare feet.

If your budget allows, you can shop the huge selection of affordable outdoor furniture too.  Pier 1 has everything from Papasans, ottomans, tables, benches and even Swingasans to choose from to coordinate the perfect look for your backyard.
