Spring has finally sprung, and patio season is officially here! With the weather breaking and many Michigander’s spending time outside, enhancing outdoor living space has become a priority for many.
Upgrading any area of your home can rack up a bill, but there’s no need to tap into your savings when you can tap into your equity. Home values are at an all-time high, and yours may have increased since you last financed your home. On top of that, rates are at historic lows, setting up an excellent opportunity for a refi! When refinancing with Hall Financial, you can use your home’s equity to fund renovations or make upgrades to your outdoor space before the summer!
Here are four ways to upgrade your patio space:
1. Add A Speaker System
Having a system to play music can set the ambiance for entertaining guests or just for yourself. There is no need to break the bank by adding on a built-in outdoor speaker system. You can easily find a Bluetooth speaker that is affordable and easy to use.
2. Add An Outdoor Heater
Michigan is no stranger to flippant weather conditions. Even on a summer night, the temperature can drop below 40 degrees and deter homeowners from spending the evening on the patio. Invest in an outdoor heater and make your space a little cozier. You can find a heater at any price point to help stick within your budget.
3. Add Outdoor Lighting
Adding lighting is another simple way to enhance your patio space. Outdoor lighting will come in handy if you plan to use your patio as a nighttime hangout to host dinner parties. There are so many varieties of lights to choose from depending on your style. Whether you’re looking into pathway lights, lanterns, or even string lights, the options are endless, and most prices are great.
4. Add Décor Like Plants
