For those of you who have been holding on to the urge of converting your patio into a great outdoor space, here we are with some of the very creative and brilliant garden design ideas. You may use them as you like and on the basis of what fits well with your plan. No matter what, if you use these ideas well, they are bound to convert your patio into one of the most likeable areas of your house with great use of garden furniture.
Outdoors are the new indoors
Yes, you heard it right. It would not be wrong to say that your outdoors can very well be transformed into an extra living space with the right kind of garden furniture. There are plenty of options to choose from. You should go for smart armchairs and sofas that are weatherproof and add a coffee table if possible to complete the look. For a more relaxed feel, combine a good lounger with a large parasol and that could be a welcome addition to your garden for this summer.
Save the precious space
Patios, in general, are small in size. If that is the case with yours too, then investing in garden furniture that offers space saving storage would be a great idea. You can go for garden furniture with space for hidden storage, for example, storage benches that can double up as comfortable seating, wall mounted shelving etc.
Install a shade
If your patio gets the sun for most part of the day, it can be a bit overbearing. Get a permanent or temporary shade in that case. You can opt for a permanent awning or the temporary yet effective sail shade. How about garden sheds? They too are a great option to make your patio garden a great shelter. In any case, getting professionals to install these would be a better idea as it needs to be done well.
Get done with those plain garden walls
Urban patios are largely walled in and look pretty industrial and plain for the most part. You can change that now and get rid of those dull walls. Why not train a few climbing plants on it and hang plenty of trellis? With a bit of greenery and some outdoor structure, you can change the way your garden looks and feels. You could also invest in a bit of outdoor wall art if you fancy that.
Decorate your patio
Tired of looking at the same old dull patio with the pebbled floor? Then, why don’t you go all out and use beautifully patterned tiles to cover it; it will give an exotic feel to the space and also offset the planting in a nice way.
Stay warm and keep it clean
For those late night parties or get together, a patio heater is a must. You can go for the contemporary and smart bio fires that are a great option for urban gardens. They burn bio ethanol which is environment friendly and are very easy to use. They even look great as compared to the other traditional options.
