Birdhouses & Feeders

Where Modern Birdhouses Work Best

A unique bird feeder not only serves as a welcoming feature for frequent flyers, they also go a long way in enhancing your outdoor decor. Modern birdhouses and feeders work best in the backyard, hanging from a tree, the deck or the side of a gazebo. These well-designed birdhouses are made to be functional and add an extra splash of style to your backyard or patio area. Most are made available as hanging options (for use with a tree) or you can find standing bird feeders that are simply potted and can be placed anywhere. You may want to use a birdhouse as a front yard decoration too, where it can greet birds and guests of your home. Wherever you choose to place a bird house or feeder, you're guaranteed to attract some attention.

A Bird Feeder for Every Style

These unique birdhouses aim to add to a welcoming environment in your front or backyard. Because they are an accessory to your landscape's design, they are easily able to fit in with existing lighting and furniture in the space, as well as any other decorations you may have. In contemporary outdoor living areas, you'll appreciate the stainless steel bird feeders from Blomus. Stainless steel carries an inherently modern look and is sure to fit in with your outdoor decor. For a standing bird feeder, look to the options from Eva Solo. Make things easy with a tree-mounted or wall-mounted bird feeder. These designs simply wrap around a tree or mount to the wall of your home and to the birds, it's all the same. Finally, go extra eco-friendly with a bird house from Loll Designs. Loll manufactures all of its product from recycled plastic, helping to leave a much smaller footprint on the environment.

How to Choose the Best Bird House

Finding the perfect birdhouse really depends on your exterior's aesthetic. You'll need to assess what kind of furniture and lighting you have in your space to confidently determine if you should have a stainless steel birdhouse or one that is popping with color. Next, decide where you want your bird house to be placed. These feeders and houses can be mounted to a flat surface, hang from a tree or they can be free standing. Again, depending on the layout of your landscape and decor you already have in place (as well as the available trees in your backyard), your choices will differ. Lastly, decide if you want a single birdhouse or if you want to spread multiple feeders throughout your yard.

Other Great Options

A bird house is just one small element of your yard's design. You will want to continue dressing up your outdoor living area with outdoor furniture pieces like sofas, lounge chairs and tables. For dining, entertaining or simply relaxing, patio furniture is a necessity to creating a comfortable space. Portable and wall-mounted outdoor lighting and other patio accessories in the form of tabletop implements, decorative planters and rugs help to round out the look. And be sure to consider how landscape lighting can work its way into your decorating mix.
