The garden is an extension of your home, so there is no reason you can’t give just as much attention to your outdoor rooms as you do your indoor ones! Just remember to look at your outdoor room in the same way…floor, walls, ceiling, furniture and accessories. Your accessories might just be flowers and plants is all! Along the way, use these DIY outdoor room ideas and tutorials to style a fresh space outdoors!

In our feature photo, above, HGTV uses a standard chaise lounge to create a daybed on their outdoor room, by laying it flat and pushing it against the deck railing as backdrop. Add pillows, and maybe a cozy throw, and what a wonderful place to nap away a summer afternoon!

Create a painted outdoor rug with a can of spray paint, some stencils or hand painting, and a clear sealant.

 

Lighting in your outdoor room makes a paradise on warm summer evenings… Hanging lights can be inexpensive and can make or break a room used after sunset.
