If you have an outdoor space, and it needs a makeover so you can use it as much as possible then you might be considering how to revamp your space and make it into a space that you can truly be proud of. However, as with any makeover project, you might find that the size of your project, and its budget, will quickly get out of control. There are some easy, and inexpensive ways to redecorate your outdoor space so that you enjoy it as much as possible and save some of the budget for those amazing summer parties you will be throwing in your new backyard.
Curtains
Something as simple as adding curtains, especially if you have a gazebo or outdoor structure, can make your space look and feel super luxurious. Whether you choose s solid colour or a bold, bright pattern you can easily make your space much cozier and look that much more put together with just some simple curtain panels.
Cocktail Table
Never heard of this? You aren’t alone – a cocktail table is the outdoor version of a coffee table. If you already have an oversized couch or comfortable sitting area but it doesn’t really feel complete, this simple piece can add a whole lot to the area. Plus, if you have a table out there where you can use it to put drinks or food on which means you can use the outdoor space for that much longer and for that many more things.
Lights
Most houses have a basic backyard light, attached to the house but that doesn’t always solve the issue of completely lighting up your patio. By adding lights, whether they be solar powered ones that stick in the ground or lanterns hanging from your outdoor awning, you can drastically and easily change the feel of your space. Lights will instantly make you space useable for more time, and it will make it look like you’ve put a lot into the space when you haven’t really.
Put it Away
Everyone has extra something lying around; whether it’s extra cushions, chairs, or pool noodles we all have those extra things that just go anywhere and everywhere in our backyard. By creating a storage space, that is neatly tucked away from the main area of your backyard or patio, and putting all your extras in there your backyard will instantly look bigger and better. We offer some great options for storing odds and ends around your backyard with our outdoor storage boxes, perfect for storing cushions, pillows, pool toys and whatever else you have. What’s more is that by putting some kind of storage cover on it like, say a curtain, you will create a space that no one really knows what it’s used for an you can keep people out of the areas you don’t want them to see. Also, if you have a designated storage area you will have more of your backyard or patio to use and can possibly put in an outdoor bar or grill if you want.
Paint it
If you have furniture with a base you can paint, then do it! A fresh coat of paint, and maybe even some reupholstered cushions can easily make your furniture look completely brand new. Paint is easy to purchase and a very easy DIY project that you can recruit your entire family to do for a fun weekend project.
By making over your patio space you can easily create a space that feels totally brand new, and like you have invested a lot into the space when it might have been just a quick face lift. With these simple changes you will find yourself enjoying your outdoor space so much more, and you will be throwing all kinds of parties that will have your friends and family coming over all the time over the summer.
