How to make a barbecue with friends or a family picnic even more enjoyable? Decorate your garden with colorful retro-style elements.
Simple furniture
Choose simple wooden furniture. A large rectangular table and classic chairs are the perfect base, which you can easily complement with accessories. Match them with soft cushions, which will not only provide comfort, but also decorate the furniture. A traditional bench will also work great. It will be best if you place it near a large tree that provides shade.

Juicy colors
A spring arrangement should be fresh and full of color! Which ones will work best? The obvious choice is green. Juxtapose it with a contrasting, intense shade such as sunny yellow. This will give you an interesting visual effect and refer to the color combinations popular in the 1960s.

Durable textiles
Blankets add coziness and will be usefl during cold evenings. Choose those in intense bright colors. Get some floor pillows as well. Their covers are made of waterproof and durable material. If necessary, covers can be removed and washed in the washing machine. In addition, thanks to handles, you can move them easily. If you have a terrace, you can also put a decorative rug on it.

Nostalgic patterns
Of course, the retro style can't lack patterns. A waterproof tablecloth with large polka dots pattern will take you back in time and add character to simple furniture. Geometric patterns will also look great on napkins and pillows as well as cups and trays.

Bright tableware
Choose dishes that are lightweight, durable and resistant to damage. This will make them great for outdoor use. Colorful glasses, bowls and plates will make the whole look appetizing.
