Decorating the home is a labor of love, a way to put your own personal touch on the place where you spend most of your time. And while there are tons of great outdoor living accessories out there, the prices can sometimes be a bit out of this world! If you’re wondering how you can make your home look great without breaking the bank, you’re in luck. Here are 5 ways to decorate your outdoor space for less.

 Go Mini

            -           Contrary to the saying, bigger is not always better – especially when it comes to price! With outdoor accessories, the general rule is the larger it is, the more it will cost. But the good thing is that so many accessories come in miniature versions today, like collapsible fire pits, tabletop fountains, and wind chimes. Going with a smaller version of an item will save you money and precious floor space, which is extremely important if you’re working with a smaller patio.

 DIY

-           If you’re pretty handy, you’ve always got the option to do it yourself. Not only can you create the exact thing you’re looking for, but you’ll save money and time running from store to store while doing it. Even if you don’t really know your way around a toolbox, you can find tons of easy to follow instructions on the Internet for making everything from planters to fountains to patio furniture. Just do a little searching and you’ll be ready to strap on a tool belt on in no time!

 Repurpose

            -           With a little creativity, something old can always be new again. Have a set of drapes you’re planning on getting rid of? Hang one of them from the side of your pergola to act as a sun shade. Have an old door that’s just taking up space in the garage? Give it a fresh coat of paint, sand the edges, remove any hardware, and you’ve got the top piece for a beautiful outdoor coffee table. Think outside the box and you’ll find tons of uses for the old stuff around your home, helping you save money and look good doing it.

 Garage Sales

            -           As the saying goes, one person’s junk is another’s treasure, and garage sales always seem to prove it true. You never know what you’ll find – maybe a nice lamp, a patio table, or even a full outdoor furniture set. They’re a great place to find rock bottom bargains on all sorts of stuff. Many neighborhoods do community-wide garage sales where you can hit a bunch in one swing, so check to see if there any coming up in your area.

 Accessorize

-                      Finally, don’t forget the accessories. Small stuff like blanket and pre-planted flowers are cheap, widely available, and will enhance your outdoor area without taking up a lot of space. Little details are what tie an area together, so don’t overlook these things when you start decorating!

Right now is prime time to start planning your spring outdoor decorating, and with these tips you can do it for much less than you have in the past. Remember, a well decorated home is a happy home!
