Courtyards are great places to rest and relax, just like terraces. You can go in for designing and decorating depending upon the size of your courtyard and your taste.
You can try accessorizing your courtyard using fountains, plants, special lightening and different kinds of seating arrangement. Since courtyards are bigger than terraces, you have a good space at your disposal and plenty of options to experiment with.
Opt for a mosaic fountain in the center space. Go in for seating around it and choose good flooring which does not get too slippery to avoid discomfort! You can add soft lighting, either solar or fancy spotlights to add glamour to your courtyard. You can even create your own mosaic fountain with bits of broken ceramics and small glass tiles glued to the concrete surface.
If you have enough space, you can even try having an intimate dining area. A seating arrangement for two people to relax is one or two lounge chairs and a small table in between. Plants can definitely be used for decoration. Fountain on the corners can give the courtyard a very unique and spectacular feel.
Adding a small pond in the middle of the courtyard can look stylish. However, pond can only be made when the area is large and you have a good budget. You can add mirrors as decoration at any of the walls. Place the mirrors so that they reflect lights and plants that you have in your courtyard to add to the effect.

Courtyard decoration may not be very common but to add that extra style quotient to your house and make the area a special place to refresh, you should do up your courtyard. It is great if you get customized houses but even if you can’t alter the architecture, it is always a great idea to alter a little with the décor and give your space a special and unique touch. Hope you have fun doing up your décor!!
