Outdoor living areas are a big industry, from patio sets to pavers. Manufacturers are always trying to come up with the next best thing for home owners who crave these spaces. Creating an outdoor living area does not have to cost a fortune. Simple solutions and ideas can create spaces just as relaxing and unique as those high dollar projects. 

Outdoor living areas require regular maintenance, responsibility and care but are great focal features for you and your guests.

An easy way to get started is to determine the best location for your outdoor spot. An unused deck or brick patio off your home naturally makes sense as a good place to begin. The quickest way to define outdoor living area is with some outdoor patio furniture.

Outdoor living area needs a bit of character and color too. Decorative throw pillows can give a dated patio set a new look by introducing trendy colors, but container gardening speaks volumes when it comes to color. Add them to your outdoor seating areas to create a more inviting and interesting space.

Add additional character to your outdoor living areas with outdoor lighting and decor. Repurpose items for your decor and develop creative solutions such as this birdbath planter pedestal. Introduce more, bright color with some new, outdoor dishware. Of course dishware is no good without grilled food, so don't forget to add a grill to a key area.
