5 GREAT ADVICE TIPS FOR YOUR PATIO

So, you’ve decided to add a patio to your home, however there are still some things you just aren’t quite sure of. We’ve provided some handy tips to guide you throughout your patio building journey.

STYLE IS KEY

When combining all the elements of your patio together it is important to remember to stick with the initial theme of your home. It’s easy for us to get carried away with an outdoor area and totally forget about the initial design of the home itself. It’s important that your patio compliments the other features of your home.

CREATE ZONES

Any experienced designer will tell you just how crucial it is to create zones within your patio area. Whether you split the area into a dining area, relaxing space and entertaining space, this will assist greatly when adding furniture and other additional features.

MAKE IT WEATHERPROOF 

Another important element to consider when building and decorating your patio is ensuring your patio is durable for all seasons. If you know your backyard becomes flooded throughout winter, it might be a good idea to consider installing a pergola to protect the area, along with any outdoor furniture you decide to purchase.

SIZE MATTERS

As the saying goes, size really does matter, especially when it comes to building your patio. You should always ensure to make the most of the space you are working with. If you have a smaller space to work with, try adding larger furniture pieces to enhance the visual appearance of your entertaining area.

LIGHTING 

The last thing you want to do is invest your heart and soul into your patio and not be able to use it at night (prime time for entertaining guests). So, don’t forget to consider adding outdoor lighting to your patio area.
