3 Budget-Friendly Facelifts
If you are looking to upgrade your outdoor space but don't want to spend a lot of money, we've got three makeovers inspired by three distinct countries -- Mexico, France and Morocco -- to help get some ideas flowing. We used existing furniture and simply added plants, accessories and curated decoration to totally alter the look of the patio.
Ahead: Versatile Basics
Start off with a couple important bits, and don't be afraid to utilize the furniture you already have. Double-duty pieces are always a great idea too, such as these two wicker stools that can also be utilized as side tables or put together as one coffee table.
Look #1: Mexico
Bright colors, designs and cacti work together to create a patio inspired by the vibrant soul of Mexico. Layered rag rugs along with also a traditional chiminea also help set the scene.
Lively Accents
Fun details bring some character and vibrancy to the outside space. A vibrant pom pom garland is simply strung across a vintage easel and paired with a large succulent plant. On chilly nights you can hang comfy blankets on the rungs of the easel to switch up the appearance even more.
Multifunctional Furniture
Little wicker stools also work as side tables for serving beverages and snacks. Don't be afraid to attract a number of your indoor decor outdoors (if weather permits), such as this fab small faux fur pillow or this indigenous concrete statue.
Record Pieces
Contain a couple of standout pieces in your decor. This faux cattle head acts as a piece of outdoor art when only leaned against the wall next to a colorful pillows and succulents. A massive vintage wooden bowl serves as a faux planter to get a cactus.
Authentic Details
Reinforce the design and style of your patio with carefully curated details such as these trays, which comprise exceptional Mexican tiles and pair perfectly with our DIY tile coasters. Learn how to make these easy coasters >>
Hardy Plants
Use plants of all sizes as decoration. Pick up cheap baskets in the thrift store and just shed some small plants and cacti from the baskets. You can then put the baskets all around your space to bring a few lushness and life to your terrace.
Look #2: South of France
Soft creams and yellows, baskets adorned with flowering plants and exquisite floral designs call to mind that the relaxed, yet stylish style from the South of France. Use a natural sisal or jute rug to allow the colours and patterns of your decoration pop up.
Inviting Textures
Easily produce a French-inspired vibe with textiles, pillows and prom decor. Use a tablecloth in your existing side table. Large Euro shams are ideal to use on Euro cushions, and can easily be switched out and washed.
Vintage Baskets
Classic picnic baskets piled around your area will create a unique and accumulated feel. Lavender plants smell delicious and will bring a lovely pop of colour.
Delicate Touches
Floral linen napkins and finely ruffled dishes and bowls are another fantastic selection for producing the French vibe. Straightforward bud vases with delicate flowers will look great in your faux table, created with both wicker stools.
Soft Palette
Whitewashed terra-cotta pots and ceramic pitchers work together to place the scene. Start out with a few creamy pillows and increase your collection over time. Blue and orange is a traditional color scheme that also feels really French. Learn how to whitewash terra-cotta pots >>
Pretty Flowers
Flowering plants peeking from a basket is an easy addition to make to any outside space. Purchase quite a few crops and set them together within a basket, and then utilize them in many spots around your patio. An easy small chair is an easy addition to any of your current furniture.
Look #3: Morocco
Tassels, metallic and softball lanterns all call to mind the magic of the Moroccan desert.
Lush Layers
Moroccan-style poufs are an easy way to transform the look of your space. Pair them with plush pillows and a variety of throws to create a comfortable outdoor oasis.
Easy Embellishment
Add tassels to baskets filled with pillows and extra throws to carry throughout the Moroccan vibe. Complete, lush plants work especially well with this style as well. Learn how to make simple DIY tassels >>
Lots of pliers
Pillows adorned with pom poms and tassels are a Moroccan mainstay. Double-sided cushions (colorful on one side and neutral over the other) allow for total flexibility in your outdoor space.
Cozy Throws
Utilize classic parts of fabric or throws to cover your outside seating to create some extra style layers. Again, the wicker stools operate perfectly as a makeshift coffee table.
Extra Comfort
Maintaining extra throw cushions and throws on hand means that you can readily switch up the expression of your Moroccan-inspired patio.
