Outdoor Spaces

This patio is a smart transformation for an unused space.

From front porches to back patios, these are the very best outdoor redos editors saw this year.

Front porches are all about creating welcoming entry to your home. But sometimes it takes a little work to create the inviting space of your dreams.

It's way more welcoming now.

This chic redo only required a drill and an Allen wrench to get the job done.

These exterior redos pack a big punch.

Now it's a space that gets year-round use.

When in doubt, add more plants.

Inspiring redos that make the most of all available square footage.

This transformation is shocking, in the best way.

One highlight? The new wicker swing chair.

"It was bursting with untapped potential," the homeowner says.

Wait until you see the after at night.

These transformations start at under a $100.

Small changes make a big impact in this little balcony.

After their 2020 vacation plans were canceled, this family decided to create a resort right at home.

This space turned into a mini tropical oasis.

Here's proof that high-impact redos don't have to be complicated.

This makeover takes advantage of the 180-square-foot space's L-shaped layout.

The before was "like a jungle with no place to sit".

This new deck is a summertime dream.

Supplies for this low-cost redo included $1 pavers and free wood pallets.

This former dumping ground was transformed into a dream outdoor hangout.

Weekend project, anyone?

We have serious patio envy!

Devon Else wanted her family's large patio to feel warm and inviting, so she decided to break out some paint and DIY it. Including a door, the entire project cost just over $1,000.
