DIY Patio/Balcony MAKEOVER 🌿 Neutral Boho Transformation + DIY Hanging Herb Garden

DIY Patio/Balcony MAKEOVER 🌿 Neutral Boho Transformation + DIY Hanging Herb Garden

In this video I give my apartment balcony/patio an extreme DIY transformation. I’m inspired by the neutral high-end trend full of textures and textiles and wanted to bring that into this small outdoor space. And of course, it needs some boho vibes to bring in that oasis feel.

I share some renter-friendly ideas for how to decorate your patio for summer on a budget, including wall art, garden and decor inspiration.

I also created two dream DIYs: textured wall art using drywall joint compound AND I show you how to build a modern vertical hanging garden that is completely renter-friendly! ✨

    Looks great, Alli! I love the idea of curtains on a patio, unfortunately it’s soooo windy where I live that it wouldn’t be practical. 😒
    I love the hanging herb garden!
    😊

    Wow love the entire patio look



  17. Craft Loving Mommy on August 5, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    I love it. It looks amazing. Just want to let you know with herbs, you want to pinch off any buds or flowers that pop up, if you don’t the herbs don’t taste good. I would also put them in the pots you hung instead of the original pots. Its fun to have a garden. I have one every year.



  18. Alicia Wilson on August 5, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    Very very nice video

    Love the results! Bring on summer!
    If you plant your plants in the actual pots, they’ll have more room to grow their roots.



  30. Linda Johnston on August 5, 2021 at 10:18 pm

    What a fantastic job! I am a renter also, however, the management won’t allow several of these ideas but I am going to try and use as many as possible. I love the results!
