The Budget-Friendly Patio Addition That Livens Up A Bare Outdoor Living Space

When it's time to entertain guests or simply spend time with friends and family, your outdoor living space is likely your gathering spot of choice. It helps to ensure the area is aesthetically pleasing to boost the mood of these get-togethers. If you have ever attempted to revamp your outdoor space or patio, you know that this can be quite challenging. This is especially true for those looking to keep things affordable. Luckily, you can use trellises, planters, and a climbing plant of your choice to add beautiful and budget-friendly patio decor to your space. To set up this display, you will need to hang three trellises onto the back of your home side by side and place three planters filled with climbing plants right beneath each trellis.

If you have been looking for a way to incorporate a touch of nature into your patio or backyard decor, this is the perfect solution. As the climbing plants grow and you attach them to each trellis, you will eventually have a stunning wall of greenery right outside your home. Homeowners who do not quite have enough space for a full-sized garden might also want to try this DIY out as an alternative. It takes up minimal room when compared to a container garden.

To build this garden decor DIY, start out by hanging three evenly spaced trellises onto the back of your home as shown in user @accordingtomandy's TikTok above. Although an electric drill was used to hang them in the video, you should use whatever hanging method is most appropriate for the building material on your home's exterior. The Brown Wood Trellis sold at Ace Hardware for $34.99 closely resembles those shown in the TikTok, so you may want to consider purchasing them for this project.

Next, place your climbing plants in your planters along with soil, and set each of them in front of the three trellises. The Kante Long Rectangular Concrete Planter from Amazon ($47) would be great for this as it looks similar to the planters @accordingtomandy's used. This project really is as simple as that. The only other task you have to take care of is plant maintenance. If you decide to use star jasmine like @accordingtomandy, you should know that it thrives in partial shade and loam-textured soil that is moist with proper drainage. You can expect the plant's lush green foliage to become decorated with white flowers once they bloom during spring.
