I'm a big outdoor gal so I love to make the most of any outdoor space I have at home. But big or small, furnishing and decorating an outdoor space can be costly - to the environment and the wallet. Buying a lot of new plastic and steel patio furniture isn't the most sustainable way to create a stylish outdoor room.
Instead, think about:
-handmade wooden furniture, or a diy wooden table or bench
- used and vintage furniture that would look great when weathered
-old wicker furniture spray painted a cool colour
-an ugly old kitchen table and with a beautiful tablecloth over it
-camping chairs made chic with colourful pillows and throws
-your own indoor decor and rugs brought outside
-candles in mason jars or lanterns
-clay pots and baskets for interest
-flowers and greenery as natural decoration

Lovely images and so much more personality than a "patio set"!

Love spending time outdoors as well. Beautiful inspiration pics!
ReplyDeleteWow! Some of those spaces are downright dreamy. Makes me want to call it a day and head outside.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good point here! Solar power is a good source of energy, particularly for outdoor lighting purposes. It can definitely save you a lot of money in the long run. But for people who can’t quite afford solar lighting, LED would be their best alternative. It’s also energy-efficient, though not equally efficient as solar lights, but it can also yield significant energy savings over time. ->Allison Shallenberger
