3 Ways to Style Your Small Patio For $250 or Less

If you're more of a hanging-around-the-table patio person, going with bar chairs and a table makes smart use of a small space. This way, you can have guests sitting or standing around the table with drinks and appetizers in easy reach. Angling an outdoor rug also makes the space seem bigger.

If you're in need of a bit of extra privacy, DIY a succulent planter trellis divider. Hanging bulb lights create ambiance once the sun goes down. This look, including the table, outdoor rug, and globe lights, comes in just pennies over $250.

Storage is always a good thing for outdoor spaces, so consider turning a bench into a cozy seating area with cushions. The DIY creates a cute nook that serves lots of different purposes.

Using outdoor cushions hung on a curtain rod saves space and keeps everything right where you want. You can really play around with colors, patterns, and textures with this arrangement to fit with your personality. And this setup comes in right under $250.

For anyone who's in need of a spot to simply kick back, using an outdoor rug as a base makes for a shoe-free area. I absolutely love this lounging chair that is comfortable and also looks so cool. Use a plant stand as a side table and then add a metallic hurricane holder for housing flickering LED lights.

Layer on the coziness with a throw blanket and plush pillows, just right for chilly mornings or evenings. This relaxing spot comes in right around $200!
