The Unexpected Outdoor Decor That Kohl’s Has Us Buying This Spring (It’s So Cute!)

I firmly believe that no space is complete without a dose of “whimsy” — and that doesn’t just apply to the areas inside your home. Think of your outdoor space exactly like any other room in your house; it never really feels complete without at least a few quirky decorative pieces, right? 

As the trees in New York are (finally) starting to bloom, I’m wishing more than ever for an outdoor space of my own to decorate and enjoy. Although I haven’t reached that goal just yet, I recently came across a piece so cute that I almost considered trading my Brooklyn one-bed for a countryside cottage. The surprising part? I found this outdoor decor gem at Kohl’s!

This little woven birdhouse caught my eye immediately. I’m no professional birder, but my mom taught me to love and appreciate our local songbirds from a young age. And I just love the idea of providing a feathered friend with a warm and cozy home right next to your own! 

A visit from a songbird is a surefire way to put a smile on your face — but even if this little birdhouse were left vacant, it’s cute enough to still have the same effect. Made from woven seagrass, it mimics the effect of an actual bird’s nest. Scallop detailing around the “roof” is what elevates it from just a birdhouse to a standout piece of decor. 

This downright adorable outdoor accent pulls double duty by giving your neighborhood birds a home and your outdoor space an extra whimsical touch. 

If you’re new to the bird-watching game, you might find that setting up a feeder will help encourage the little guys to move into their stylish, scalloped new home. And this one, also from Kohl’s signature brand Sonoma Goods for Life, is designed to look like a miniature porch swing. What could possibly be more whimsical than that?

The seed just goes into the “bench” of the seat, and you can sit back and relax in your own porch swing while you watch your winged guests stop by. If that’s not the dream, I don’t know what is. 

If you’re looking to refresh your own outdoor space this spring, Kohl’s has some other cute outdoor goods too — from rugs to coolers to furniture, you can find just about anything you need to make using your outdoor space both relaxing and cute.
