Summer is a great time to get outdoors. If you need some simple and budget-friendly ways to refresh your outdoor space, start by:

• Adding a fire pit
• Find outdoor furniture that has a dual purpose (benches that have storage or that can also be used as tables)
• Add string lights that illuminate your yard and bring a twinkly atmosphere
• Use fabric curtains for privacy as well as to shield from the elements during sweltering afternoons
• Repurpose vintage elements for a unique backyard style
• Add in some colorful pieces (pillows, planters, flowers, furniture, etc.)
