Style With Time: Patio and Outdoor Decor

​How to keep a healthy budget by styling a room with key pieces overtime., plus a checklist!

If you missed it last month, I kicked off the series for styling a room overtime. (Check out Living Room Tips Here). With summer approaching, it can be so tempting to go out and get the latest and greatest items (and for a few items you totally should - you deserve it), but it may help your overall budget to do just a little planning. Don't worry we have a guide below to help.

What I have found from my years of project management is that you generally have 3 key items that come together to make the perfect project. Resources (including mula), time, and quality. The three are generally at odds with each other and thanks to so many home renovations we see on social media and tv, we generally are looking for all three to be quick, amazing, and affordable. 

In this series, I help guide you to making only a few trade-offs when it comes to time so that you can maximize your budget for the most high quality, items of your dreams. So without further ado here are some helpful tips for styling your outdoor space or patio with time. 

​Best Time of Year to Buy:

FURNITURE 

• September - retailers are looking to clear out their inventory post summer so look for the best deals in September. 

SPACE HEATERS

• March, July - After the cold winter, you will find some steep discounts on space heaters and then again at the peak of summer when it's too hot. You may not think you need a patio heater in July, but you could score a great deal for when things start to cool down. 

PILLOWS, POTS AND ACCENTS

• January, September - for pillows, linen item sales hit a high in January, so grab yourself some pillows, napkins and table cloths then. For the remaining entertaining supplies wait till post season sales and get super cute dishware, pots, and accessories. 

GARDENING SUPPLIES

• April - The best time to buy garden supplies tends to be at the beginning and end of the season. Find great deals on tractors, lawn mowers, and power washes to spruce up your space. 

GRILL & BBQ SUPPLIES

• July - post Independence day you will start seeing a drop in prices lasting through August. You may have to wait mid season to get the dream grill, but it will be worth it.

Hope the guide helps you guys, and don't forget, all good things take time!
