Though outdoor rugs can add warmth and definition to your patio, don't let their initial charm deceive you. Overspending on a rug that needs to be replaced every two to four years to avoid turning into a mildew magnet can be a money pit.
If you want to flush your hard-earned cash down the drain, buy any outdoor furniture made with cotton, linen, polyester, or nylon. Though they may appear inviting at first, fabrics that aren't designed to endure the elements can quickly succumb to fading, tearing, and weathering.
Your outdoor paradise shouldn't look like a landing strip for UFOs. Your lighting should be subtle and set the mood without causing neighbors to want to call the authorities. Ditch excessive 60-watt lighting solutions for mid-range solar lights in soft white.
Unless gardening is a genuine hobby, your yard should be a relaxing retreat, not a horticulture boot camp. High-maintenance plants can take away from the joy and relaxation that your outdoor haven is meant to provide.
