You may be surprised to learn that you can create the perfect outdoor oasis without breaking the bank. With a little DIY and some creative home design, you can create a perfect space for outdoor summer cocktail parties to a quiet zen space and everything in between.
Creative Ways To Upgrade Your Outdoor Space
Upgrading your outdoor space doesn’t have to take a ton of time or money, whether you have a small space to work with or have a large outdoor area in mind. Let’s take a look at some budget ideas and inspiration to create the perfect outdoor summer oasis to go along with your new home construction.
Furniture
Creating a new outdoor space doesn’t have to mean spending a bundle on an expensive patio furniture set. Let your creativity run wild by repurposing or resurfacing old furniture pieces that can still coordinate well together. Utilize pops of bright colors when repainting old pieces, like a side table, to add character to your space and make them a focal point.
Another great way to utilize space and add character is to use furniture items that work in multiple ways. Long L-shaped benches offer seating for multiple people and a space you can lay down and lounge on. You can make your own great looking bench seating like this by using used wood pallets and stone blocks. Also, take advantage of furniture items that allow plenty of seating while also having built-in storage to hide away accessories when not in use.
Lighting
Outdoor lights are a must-have for your perfect outdoor summer oasis.
