I decorated my patio with Dollar Tree finds – there’s flooring, privacy, and decor, people say it’s absolutely gorgeous
AN event planner has demonstrated how to put on a show with her patio transformation.
This sparkly glow-up was decorated with Dollar Tree finds.
She had everything, from flooring, to a privacy screen, and on-point decor.
People said it was absolutely gorgeous.
One fan gushed it was the “best thing I’ve seen in a while.”
It’s all in a day’s work for Markita Ciara (@markita_ciara).
An event planner by day, she also loves to craft and decorate.
In this post, she started with a blank palette.
It was an ordinary, functional, balcony area, but it wasn’t the most inspiring patio.
A trip to Dollar Tree, however, transformed it into an enviable space.
PRIVACY SCREEN
She started by turning the space into an area free from prying eyes.
But she showed great ingenuity and chose roll-up shades as a privacy screen.
They were easy to attach and could be rolled up or down at will.
FLOORING
The dull concrete floor was covered with stick-on carpet tiles.
These were easy to fit and added a touch of comfort.
Budget interior design tips
Interior designer Judy Hoang shared her furniture tips with The U.S. Sun.
- Thrift furniture and paint it to match your decor.
- Test if an item is fit for its purpose before thrifting.
- Shop at Target or HomeGoods for rugs, lamps, desks, and pillows.
- Invest in classic timeless pieces.
- Set up smart home lighting to save money.
WALLS
She added some design touches by covering the bare walls with self-adhesive brick-shape tiles.
FINISHING TOUCHES
She completed her patio makeover, by adding diaphanous drapes, potted plants, a comfortable chair, a table, and twinkling lights.
Commenters were thrilled with the finished look.
“Dang baby girl, love this,” said one person.
“Love your creativity,” said a second person.
“Girl, you did a great job,” added a third.
