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!
