How To Do A Patio Refresh On A Budget
My husband accidentally turned my patio fountain a gorgeous turquoise-green color when he applied too much algaecide. He only wanted to kill the algae, but the fountain turning green was a plus. I love the color, and I’m hoping it doesn’t change back any time soon. It inspired me to do a patio refresh on a budget to bring the turquoise color to my patio.
My Patio Refresh On A Budget Inspiration
The fountain has been this color for over a month, but it is gradually fading. However, I think it will last for the rest of the summer, so I “tweaked” the patio to match the color.
Patio Refresh On A Budget Before and After Photos
I’m going to show the before photos first and then the after ones. I still like this look, but I wanted to brighten and lighten it up, and it only took a few changes.
Can you believe the difference? I kept all the original items but moved the rug outdoors. The rug is gorgeous, and I love the pop of color that it adds to the porch. It wasn’t expensive, and it sure made a huge difference.
If you are going to spend any time outdoors, a citronella candle is a must. I love that you can reuse the container after the candle is gone.
We just added this outdoor dining set to the patio this year. I love the set, but we don’t use it a lot.
Adding throw pillows, a citronella candle, and some melamine dinnerwear brightened the area. I only ordered a 12pc dinnerwear setting to ensure I liked the color. It is practical since I don’t want glassware on the patio, and the color works great with the new pillows.
This whole area is just blah! When we bought our house, this furniture came with it. I like the set, but it needed some pizazz. Just wait until you see this area now…
How’s that for pizazz??? This was the most expensive part of the patio refresh, but it makes a huge statement. You’ll probably see this set often since the chairs will make great photo props.
And look…it matches the fountain perfectly!!! Let me know if you want Joe to come and work on your fountain. Lol!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the turquoise water.
Great refresh and I love the colors, so Joe did you a favor, and now you can buy more colors and pillows and rugs. Great Job!! I love the rug, all those beautiful bright colors.
Just love your outdoor living area. So inviting. The color combination with the pillows and dinnerware, I love so much. Thank you for sharing.
Tania! I found those same pillows and used them as my inspiration for brightening up my patio as well. It’s also amazing what some bright pots with colorful petunias can do to bring a “beachy” feeling to my Tennessee hilltop patio!
It’s it amazing what changing pillows can do! I have a couple of sets for different seasons! As for the black chairs you got rid of… I have a set like it! I added amazing 16×16 tiles to the seats and again add a great toss pillow ! Good thing bout black it’s easy to match paint to refresh the metal, lightly sand first!
That fountain is gorgeous and your refresh is perfect!! The fountain will have to be a yearly job.
I Absolutely Love the update!! That turquoise-teal color is very pretty! Looks great!
