Outdoor Butterfly Decor Ideas

Outdoor

Butterflies are a beautiful part of summer. Many species live only for a few hours -- just long enough to mate and lay eggs from which will hatch the future generation of butterflies. They are both beneficial insects and sometimes pests in the garden. They serve as pollinators for many plants, but their voracious young can make lace of a cabbage leaf in short order, or chomp down a tomato plant quick as can be. With that said, they are beautiful, and perhaps that is worth a few cabbage leaves or tomato plants. Décor butterflies have the added advantage that they can look beautiful without taking a bite out of the wrong plant.

Butterfly Benches and Seats

Butterfly wings can be used to create seats. Metal work can create the illusion of delicate wings to serve as the backs of either single chairs or for benches. The openwork of the backs and seats creates comfortable garden seating that allows any small breeze to help with cooling one off.

Hanging Butterflies and Wall Décor

Butterflies created from glass or metal can be hung inside or out (depending on the piece) to capture a little bit of summer for you no matter where you are. Again, sturdy metal can appear delicate, making a butterfly that can hang from a wall, ceiling or tree for many years.

Fountains and Lights

Butterfly fountains or lights can enhance the appearance of your patio, flowerbeds, lawn or walk. Fountains decorated with butterflies are reminiscent of butterflies gathering at the edge of a pond or stream. When these charming fountains include a pump and a filter, they can also attract birds to your garden without adding the nuisance of mosquitos. Butterfly lights can provide interest and a small amount of illumination, helping guests or even family members correctly find pathways. Below are several lovely selections of butterfly items, ranging from benches to delicate butterfly mobiles. The items you select will reflect your taste and the places where you need a little bit of spring and summer throughout the entire year. Enjoy looking at these ten lovely butterfly items selected for you.

Beaded Iron Butterfly No, it’s not a rock band or even a song, it’s a lovely butterfly outlined in wrought iron and studded with sparkling beads to show the colors of its wings. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Hang it inside for a splash of color, or suspend it from a tree out of doors to enhance the beauty of your garden.

Glass Butterfly Wall Hanging Encourage these glass butterflies to cling to your wall all year around. They are resistant to the elements and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor decorating.
