Patio Makeovers That We're Obsessed With – And How To Re-Create Them

Summer has arrived, and you know what that means. A wonderful time for cooking delicious BBQs for your afternoon guests, late-night swims with friends, and a whole lot of time spent outdoors to get some vitamin D!

But what if you feel like your outdoor patio is not up to par with the good old summer vibe? There is no need to spend your summer inside. We have collected multiple patio makeover designs to make your patio looking just as good as a hot day - all of which are not only easy to replicate, but affordable as well. 

Now put on your sunscreen, and let's start designing! 

DIY Seat Cushion from a Drop Cloth

 

From: Practical & Pretty

Simplicity is always key, which is certainly the case with this outdoor design. In purchasing the Outdoor Dining 3-Piece Bistro Set, you can create the cutest outdoor seating area you and your guests will enjoy. Including two folding chairs and a round table, feel free to put together this bistro set as is, or you can add your own unique, personal twist by adding your choice of seat pillows and tabletop decorations. As a finishing touch, add a small plant as a centerpiece. Whether it is a flower, a mini cactus, or a succulent, it does not matter! As long as it captures your unique style and essence.

Everyone loves having guests over on those hot summer nights, but we do not always have space. No need to worry because the Outdoor 4 Piece Wicker Patio Set is here to help! Including three stylish chairs and a matching table, you will create the perfect seating area in just one go. There is no need to stress about fancy designs or extravagant decor; this set is so charming that you and your guests will be in awe as they sit in absolute comfort. The hardest part about it is figuring out how to place everything, which we suggest a circle, so it makes conversations more fun. 

Floral Garden Cart

There is an old saying that says diamonds are a girl's best friend. Currently, that is no longer true. Instead, plants have come to take over that position. With the 2 Tier Serving Cart, your best friend will always be right outside your patio door! With a super trendy design in light colors, this cart will add a nice twist to the usual dark and modern style that might be taking over your undecorated backyard. All you must do is set it up wherever you would like and add up to 40 pounds of any plants you adore. Who would have thought that decorating was that easy?

Outdoor Aluminum Chaise Lounge Chairs

 

Has it been a while since you went to the beach, and you wish you could kick your feet back? The Outdoor Aluminum Chaise Lounge Chairs have you covered, especially since they come in sets of two! Set up a large outdoor carpet, creating the base for your new relaxing area. Following that, simply place the two lounge chairs next to one another, and that is it: you have created your very own tanning area where you can lay back and soak up the summer sun. 

For those who don’t like the heat, no problem! Add any summertime umbrella between the seats to create your very own shaded zone, so you can stay outside for hours without breaking a sweat. It is that easy. For a little personal touch, add any extra décor you would like, whether it be hanging lights or some plants, the choice is yours.

Easy Patio Privacy Screen

 

From: Organized Chaos

We all enjoy going out from time to time to get our dose of social interaction, but when we’re home we enjoy our privacy just as much. Instead of spending dollars and precious time working on an overcomplicated fence, purchase up to three simple lattice panels and get ready to start crafting. In screwing them all together with the proper boards, you'll have three simple and trendy looks that will ensure privacy and style all at the same time!

All your missing is the Patio Lounge Chairs with Reticulated Foam, which come in sets up two, to finish the look of your seating area. From there, you can read, have a drink, or scroll through your feed as you relax by enjoying your self-made oasis.
