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!

Spray paint those patio chairs! Easy inexpensive fix plus you can change it up often!
What a beautiful ” mistake”. I love the fountain! The update is gorgeous too.
Love the colour change.
I love your Joe stories! It looks like he did a great job with the fountain!! It is beautiful. The turquoise accent pieces are beautiful too. The color will really brighten up your patio even if the fountain changes back to its normal color!
Great post today. I really like your refresh. Love the brighter colors. It really makes a difference. You have really great decorating skills.
I really like what you did and the cost is affordable. You really brightened things up.
Your patio refresh is beautiful! Is your teak patio set “Brunswick”? I am looking at that set for my back deck which we recently closed in to make a year-round room. If it is, are you pleased with it? I just love the style of it – comfy but will be good if the little ones sit on it in their wet bathing suit – LOL! Thanks!
Tracy, we love the patio set! I’ve not had any issues with it, but since we don’t have a pool here, I’ve not had the wet swimsuit issue. However, the covers are washable, we washed them this year without any issues. Here is my set, it is out of stock until next year though. https://bit.ly/3w9ikgj
Wonderful post today, Tania! I love when you do home blogs. After all the sales, I’m just looking to something different. Your patio looks beautiful! It’s amazing what a new rug and few simple accessories will do for a space. Tell Joe, the fountain is a beautiful accident!
What a beautiful refresh and on a budget too! Win, win!! Maybe Joe was ready for a patio refresh and just wanted to give you some inspo!
Love the patio refresh! Your Joe stories are a hoot!
