Hayward Interior Designers

When it comes to home improvement, you often think of big ticket items - a remodeled bathoom, new kitchen appliances, the addition of costly square footage.

But there are small changes any homeowner can do that will have a big impact in any space.

Take this backyard patio, for example. With the addition of a visually graphic rug to draw the eye into the space, a few outdoor throw pillows and a table centerpiece, this patio now packs a punch and instantly brings character to this outdoor living area.

And the best part? The entire patio makeover only cost $115.
