Focal Point of a Patio
Take any one specific element and make it your visual focus while decorating your patio. You can take a sculptured tree, a small niche with an interesting statue, a fountain with lights or just a tinkling wind chime that enhances the look and feel of that place.
Make it Comfortable
The main idea of a patio is to make everyone comfortable so that they can enjoy each other’s company. You can put lounge chairs, a small coffee table and a small lattice to give your space a backdrop.These are certain elements that can also add warmth to the entire space.
Rather than buying heavy furniture you should buy individual pieces which are light in weight so that can fit into the given space.
Seclusion & Privacy
You can create a secluded place where you and your friends can sit comfortably without any interruptions. You can have a small partition with a lot of plants so that a cosy corner can be created.
Soften the Sound
If your patio has a lot of outside noise, you can add on a lot of plants or a water fountain so that the noise can be softened. You can also play soft tunesthat can be pleasing to the ears and act as a sound barrier to any annoying external racket.
Enhance Your Space with Lights
Proper type of lights that are placed at the right spots can change the mood of the whole place. Lights can be hanging or fixed. The glow coming from these lights should be warm and soft.
In the mornings too, the sitting arrangements should be such that the sunlight does not enter directly into the eyes. There should be proper shade where the sofas are kept and the place should be airy either by natural breeze or a fan.
Natural Barrier
You can use Boxwood hedges or any shrubs/plants if you want to create a natural border to partition your patio. Nature not only is refreshing to the eyes but it also is easy to maintain and grow.
Avoid Clutter
Be very careful in designing your patio because usually patios are small spaces. So, you should not cramp it with unnecessary furniture and only very appropriate things should be placed.
Add on Accessories
You can have a fireplace or a fire pit which can provide warmth and glow to the whole patio during cool nights. Built-in wooden benches can give a permanent seating arrangement and add a cohesive feeling to the whole space.
Final Thoughts
Creating a comfortable patio is a great addition to any house. Make your patio as warm and comforting as possible. This can be great place to hang out with a book or to entertain guests.
