A Perfect Outdoor Living Space

You can create a beautiful outdoor living space without spending too much money. The key is to use some creativity and repurpose things you already own.

Define your space.

Create and define your outdoor living space by arranging potted plants of different heights to create a "green wall" for an intimate sitting area.

Get creative with patio furniture ideas.

Think creatively when it comes to patio furniture and seating. A piece of lumber can convert into a bench, tree stumps can be topped with weather-resistant cushions to become stools, and unused pavers can be topped on to planting pots to become end tables. Anything's possible!

Get more intimate.

A lovely sitting area or outdoor dining area isn't very relaxing if your neighbor can see your every move. Consider creating bright, budget-friendly privacy screens by stringing bright outdoor rugs between patio posts, which then become a source kinetic art as the breeze blows.
