Use These Tips to Renovate a Patio If You’re on a Budget

These fun signs would be a good conversation starter.
4. Think Big When It Comes to Patio Furniture Pieces
Tiny tables don’t fit in many patios. In order to balance things out, go for a larger table.
Plus, you may bring guests to the patio sometimes. So make sure you have enough furniture at hand.
Don’t buy a new table though. Because that doesn’t count in budget patio decor.
Instead, you have two budget options:
- You can thrift shop: Check out your local garage sales. Or you can sift through online listings, like Craigslist.
- Or roll up your sleeves and work on a few DIY outdoor patio decor ideas. For starters, larger patio furniture pieces can be made easily if you have an extra door table and a passion for DIY decor projects.
Also, ask around family or friends. They might be getting rid of an old door. This way, you can DIY a patio table for much less than purchasing one.
5. Bring in Texture And Color
Want budget-friendly backyard ideas?
Add a pop of color to the patio table by making or buying cheap table runner pieces.
Use Duck Cloth to make them resonate with the outdoors.
You can also add pillows and throws around the patio to add more texture and decor.
6. Incorporate A Few Barn Wood Garden Lanterns
This will bring a rustic, vintage charm to your patio!
7. Bring A Flaming Centerpiece

The coffee table needs a centerpiece like this outdoor fire bowl.
And it’s easy to DIY.
Find a fireproof container.
Cover it with your favorite paint. I recommend an outdoor paint in a cheery hue.
Stuff the bowl with recycled tempered glass chips.
Tuck in a can of gel fuel. Make sure it’s alcohol-free.
Light the fire and enjoy for hours!
8. Upcycle Everyday Items Into Budget Patio Decor
Another great idea for the DIY decor lovers! If you have old food cans in the house, turn them into colorful and fun planters.
If you don’t have any food cans, ask your friends or start saving them yourself!
Place these cans on the patio table or chain-link fence in the garden. It’s up to you. In fact, you can use lots of them everywhere in the patio.
Polka dot is a fun pattern to start with. These make adorable centerpieces.
Take this tip up a notch by using an old kitchen stockpot as an upcycled planter. See, why I always say you don’t have to throw stuff out!
9. Hang A Flower Wreath
You wouldn’t mind some countryside beauty in your patio, would you?
Plus, if you choose an artificial wreath, it would be even better because you won’t have to worry about flowers wilting away!
10. Light up the Night
Even if you have a limited budget, don’t ignore lights. That’s because they add sparkle and ambiance to any space.
It’s up to you if you want the look of cafe lights overhead or want something a bit softer.
11. Hang Curtains
Still stumped on how to decorate a patio for cheap? Use curtains then!
Whether indoors or outdoors, curtains add a sense of breeze to any space. Plus, they make your place look larger.
