Creating A Sustainable And Budget-Friendly Outdoor Living Space
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 using:
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 new colour
an ugly old kitchen table painted, or just left as is with a beautiful tablecloth over it
camping chairs made chic with colourful pillows and throws
your own indoor decor and rugs brought outside to a covered porch
tea light candles in mason jars
clay pots and old baskets for planters and as decoration
flowers and greenery to make things lush
Have fun getting creative to create a cozy outdoor space of your own, without spending tons of money on new furniture. Celebrate our planet with sustainable outdoor living!
