Alexandra (@alexandrareynolds_) shared her interior design ideas in a TikTok video.

“Turned my boring condo balcony into an outdoor oasis with affordable finds from Walmart,” she said.

She grabbed $30 steel wastebaskets, $15 bins, $12 plates, and $20 throw pillows from Walmart’s home section to store her items.

For her balcony’s main centerpiece, she picked out a $598 sectional and a matching ratttan rug for rest and relaxation.

An $80 Better Homes & Gardens bar cart and a $23 drink dispenser were pieces to her DIY lemonade bar.

Once home, she assembled the sectional and placed it in one corner, overlooking her balcony.

Next to her rest pad, she placed the cart, stocked with trays to hold lemonade cups, ice, sparkling water, and the drink dispenser filled with lemonade.

Others have also given their patios full makeovers with affordable finds.

I gave my patio more pizzazz for under $50 – a $23 Ross buy made a huge statement and I even got pillows from Five Below

Kristy, a DIY expert, took on the project after she grew tired of her view.

“This side of the patio needed a makeover and honestly I was sick of staring at our AC units,” she said.

On top of a makeover, she explained that she desperately needed some privacy.

“I gave my porch a DIY Patio makeover and added this privacy wall -gives so much shade and changed the whole patio design,” she said.

With a quick trip to Home Depot, she picked up wooden slats to assemble her wall.

She sanded down the wood and gave the slats a quick paint job.

Kristy couldn’t have been more happy with the final results once the wall was up.

“This slat wall provides so much shade on this side of the patio,” she said.
