Spring is just around the corner, is your patio ready? It doesn’t take much to completely transform your outdoor living space. Today, I have rounded up 6 simple ideas to update your patio that will make a big impact without breaking the bank.
This week Target released their new Patio Collection for spring and I am obsessed. Woven textures, clean lines, gorgeous accent pieces, and elegant neutrals have inspired me to want to redo our outdoor living space. But redecorating an entire porch or patio can be overwhelming. To make this project more do-able, I have divided it into 6 easy ways to update your patio space. Depending on your budget, you can choose to do one, or all six, but I guarantee each idea will make a huge design difference in your outdoor space.
Going Green
Outdoor planters are a great way to add design and color to a patio. Mix different heights, textures, and sizes to add depth to the space. Plant these bug repellent plants to keep unwanted pests away.
Textured Ceramic Planters, $19.99-$63
White Ceramic Planter with Black Stand, $63
Light the Way
A little bit of lighting ambience can make a big difference in a patio refresh. Pretty string lights draped along the top of a covered deck area or porch always look beautiful. Oversized lanterns provide great lighting and set the mood for evening parties.
Plastic Woven Outdoor Lantern, $36
Black Metal Lantern, $24.99-$39.99
Vintage Bulb String Lights, $22.50
Sitting Pretty
Patio furniture can be expensive so it is wise to choose clean architectural lines over trends. Comfortable cushions and plenty of table space are also important things to consider. Trendy pieces (like this egg chair) are fun accents to have to liven up the patio space but should not be your only pieces of furniture.
Tread Lightly
Just like they do indoors, rugs make a big impact on outdoor spaces. Changing out a rug or the door mats will instantly make the patio space feel different.
A Little Shady
We all know sun protection is so important so having a place to retreat from the sun’s rays is vital to any outdoor space. Umbrellas provide shade and also add color and flair.
Black Spaced Stripe Umbrella, $81
Off-set Cabana Stripe Umbrella, $331.50
Rectangular Cabana Stripe, $123.50
Fireside Delight
Perfect for roasting s’mores or staying warm on chilly nights, fire pits are a great addition to any outdoor living space.
All this patio decor has me counting down the days til the weather is warm and we can spend time outside. If you could redecorate any part of your porch or patio, what would you do? Let me know in the comments below!
