In order to truly enjoy the time you have outside, you will need some comfortable and inviting furniture. This can be expensive, so the following tips will help you in furnishing a patio on a budget.

Shop During the Right Season

Patio furniture becomes more expensive in the spring, when most people set out to buy pieces and take advantage of nicer weather. If possible, time your purchases so that you are buying patio furniture in the winter, when stores will gladly sell items on sale to make room for the incoming shipments in the new year.

Consider Shipping Costs

Whether you buy furniture at a store and have it delivered or online and need to pay for shipping, keep those costs in mind when deciding which items to buy. In some instances, the delivery can be more than the item’s worth! If buying online, ask neighbors if they are interested at the same time, so save on overall shipping costs.

Even if you are feeling the pinch of a tight budget, you don’t have to forfeit the fun and pleasure of creating an outdoor living area on your patio.

Use What You Have

Before you begin shopping for items to use on your patio, look around your house to see what you can re-purpose or reinvent to include in the room. A fresh coat of paint can revive old furniture. Old flower pots or containers can be repainted or used as they are for a shabby chic outdoor decor.

Keep in mind that all of your furniture pieces do not have to match. Eclectic decor works just as well for outdoor rooms as it does for interior spaces.

Try Frugal Shopping

You can create your outdoor living space one step at a time in order to keep from breaking your budget. Start with the furniture and add accessories as your budget allows and as bargains appear.

By shopping end of season sales, reinventing items you already have, and perfecting the art of frugal shopping, you will find that furnishing patios on a budget is not as difficult as you might have expected. Take your time creating the look and atmosphere you desire.

Weathering the Storm

When shopping for furniture that is going to remain outdoors and be exposed to all of the elements, it is important to find something that is weather resistant and will hold up well over time. The least expensive type of outdoor furniture is made of a hardened plastic or poly vinyl composite. The advantages of this type of furniture for your patio is that it is lightweight but sturdy, inexpensive and easy to clean.

A Step Up

For those willing to pay a little more for a patio table and matching chairs, the next step up is a set of woven chairs and a glass table with an umbrella in the middle. These types of patio sets typically run around $300-$400 for the 4 chairs, glass table and umbrella.

The Very Best

If you want the best furniture you can buy for your patio it will cost you close to $1,000 or even more. Thick, cloth covered cushioned chairs with wood or aluminum framing will provide the most comfort, last a long time and give your patio an attractive look.

No matter what size your budget may be, there is outdoor furniture that will meet your needs.
