I had a VERY average patio so gave it a glow up on the cheap… I got cushions for a fiver, everyone says the same thing
A SAVVY DIY fanatic has revealed how she transformed her dull patio without forking out a fortune – and social media users are stunned by the results.
TikTok user Nikola McDermott, from Vancouver, Canada, shared the incredible patio glow-up, claiming it cost her a little over £100.
Before the jaw-dropping budget transformation, the 25-year-old described her patio as ”very average”, the video showed.
But rather than spending a lot of money, Nikola decided to check out Facebook Marketplace where she managed to nab a few things on the cheap.
”I kept things super affordable.”
One of the items Nikola got her hands on was a stunning rattan chair in black for £23 that she placed next to a round glass table.
This was even a better bargain, as the DIY lover got it completely free of charge, and it only required a little clean.
She went on: ”I got loads of plants for £17 from Facebook Marketplace from this lovely woman in my neighbourhood.
”Then I got a cute little outdoor rug for £29 and some super cheap outdoor cushions from IKEA – I think they were around £6 each.”
Whilst transforming the dull patio, Nikola also nabbed cheap string fairy lights that cost her a mere £7.
Proud of the final look, the 25-year-old said she was chuffed with the outcome.
”It’s just so cute. I’m really excited to just read on my little bench, have dinner at the table, eat lunch at the table.

”I’ve never been an outdoor plant mum, so I’m super excited.”
The reaction on social media, where Nikole posts as @nikmcdermott, was nothing but positive.
”Pop off renovation queen,” exclaimed one fan on the glow-up.
Another suggested: ”Looks good, paint some of the wood with colourful contrasts with pillow covers.”
Someone else praised Nikola: ”So cute, you did an amazing job.”
”Very cute! I need to get mine set up!” a fourth felt inspired.
