Introduction
Florida living is all about embracing the outdoors year-round. Whether you have a spacious backyard in New Port Richey, a cozy patio in South Tampa, or a tropical courtyard in St. Petersburg, the right outdoor decor can turn any space into a relaxing retreat. At Outdoor Accents of Florida, we specialize in high-quality pottery, fountains, statuary, and garden accents designed to thrive in our hot, humid, and sometimes stormy climate.
As a family-owned business with three convenient Tampa Bay locations, we help homeowners create beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor spaces they love. Here are five expert tips to help you get started.
1. Choose Durable Pottery and Planters Built for Florida Weather
Florida’s intense sun, heavy rains, and humidity can take a toll on outdoor decor. That’s why selecting the right materials matters.
- Cast stone and fiber stone planters offer excellent durability and a classic look without the weight of traditional concrete.
- Glazed Vietnamese pottery and authentic Mexican Talavera add vibrant color and style while resisting fading and cracking.
- Lightweight options make it easy to rearrange or take home the same day from our large in-stock inventory.
Pro Tip: Mix heights and textures—pair tall statement planters with smaller accent pots for visual interest and better plant health.
2. Add Tranquility with Water Features and Fountains
Nothing beats the soothing sound of flowing water on a warm Florida evening. Fountains not only create ambiance but also help mask traffic noise and attract birds.
Our collection includes a wide range of garden fountains and bird baths in styles from modern to traditional. Many are pre-plumbed for easy setup, and our team offers professional delivery and installation.
Florida-Specific Advice: Look for fountains made with materials that handle algae and mineral buildup well. We can recommend maintenance tips tailored to the Tampa Bay area.
3. Incorporate Garden Statuary and Benches for Personality and Function
Statuary and benches add focal points and practical seating to your outdoor space.
- Elegant garden statues
- Concrete tables
- Architectural accents
- Comfortable benches
These pieces create inviting gathering spots and elevate the overall design. Our authorized brands like Massarelli, Jackson Cast Stone, and Henri Studio ensure lasting quality.
Design Idea: Place a beautiful statue near a fountain or use benches to define conversation areas on your patio.
4. Complete the Look with Florida-Friendly Plants
Pottery shines brightest when filled with thriving greenery. Our South Tampa location offers a curated selection of palms, woody ornamentals, annuals, perennials, and indoor foliage perfect for Central Florida.
Our experts provide professional planting and potting services so your containers look polished from day one. We help you choose low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants that perform well in our subtropical climate.
5. Layer in Finishing Touches for a Cohesive Design
Don’t forget the details:
- Wind chimes and garden art
- Outdoor rugs and doormats
- Seasonal flags
- Chimeneas for cool evenings
These accents tie everything together and reflect your personal style.
