Creating impactful outdoor spaces with minimal effort

Image via

To create the outdoor space of your dreams you will need some decent square footage, an impeccable style and a certain budget (or DIY skills). When you’re short on space, money (or both) and you don’t want to spend months on the project, there are shortcuts to help you.

There are certain objects that can make a big impact placed in an outdoor space and act as a focus point. They help to create a specific ambience and elevate your space by defining it as an outdoor area. By investing in these objects, you save time, effort and money by limiting your effort in the focus point of your outdoor space. You can always add smaller objects and pieces of furniture later, as time and budget allows.

Scroll through for thirteen elements that can help you create an impactful outdoor space with minimal effort.

I am set on repainting my balcony a bright emerald green this summer and adding string lights to it.
