An Asian-inspired patio brings the good life outdoors.

Design on a Dime : Episode DOD-1904 -- More Projects »

Pat and Lorna Kochakji are looking for an outdoor retreat that will also be a fun space for their young son Liam. The homeowners would like a coherent style to replace their mismatched items. The Design on a Dime team turns the covered patio into an Asian-inspired outdoor living room for less than $1,000.

Before: All Function, No Style

Next: After: Asian Aesthetic

The Dilemma
While the homeowners have an idea of what they'd like their patio to look like, they are unable to create it with the furnishings they have. Their choice of style would be tropical island that also ties into the natural setting of their backyard. And while they're at it, the patio is also in need of lighting; all those rice paper lanterns are merely decorative.
