With the Bank Holiday weekend approaching and warmer weather on the horizon, many Britons are looking to refresh their outdoor spaces. Simple upgrades can transform a patio without a full makeover, and high street retailers offer budget-friendly options.
Cushions are a quick and cheap way to add colour and comfort. Marks & Spencer sells a Pure Cotton Palm Embroidered Outdoor Cushion for £25, featuring a tropical design and water-resistant finish. Next offers the Indoor Outdoor La Dolce Vita Cushion at £16, while Habitat has Stripe Outdoor Cushions for £8 each, ideal for larger sets.
Outdoor rugs help define seating areas and hide worn paving. Dunelm's Chevron Weave Indoor Outdoor Rug costs £29 and has a jute-like appearance with a modern chevron design. It has received five-star reviews for its quality and durability.
Other affordable upgrades include parasols, lighting, and soft furnishings, which can inject personality into a patio. Retailers like Dunelm, Next, and Marks & Spencer offer a range of options to suit various budgets.
