More and more time is spent on the patio as the days get longer and warmer. Having a comfortable patio will make sitting outside more fun in all seasons. Here are some ideas for how to set up a patio and make it look beautiful and charming. And whether you are on a tight budget or can spend a lot, there are a lot of options.
How you choose patio furniture will depend on how big your patio is. When space is limited, cafe tables are a great choice. Another great way to save space and have a comfortable patio is to use bar tables and patio bar chairs. Add a few potted plants and other outdoor design favourites like wind chimes and birdhouses for a perfectly charming patio.
There are a lot of great choices for larger patios. Choose a few different kinds of chairs, including some comfortable ones and a few chaise lounges where you can lay down and relax, for a patio that is covered. A hammock is another great idea. They can be hung from the corner of the patio and covered with blankets and pillows to make a really comfortable place to sit outside.
For an outdoor patio that doesn't have a roof, there are a lot of great patio umbrella options that will go with any theme. Also great for getting some sun are chaise lounges on an open patio. A grill can be added to an outdoor patio, which will make it a great place to hang out for hours.
You can choose from many different kinds of patio furniture. Most of the time, it comes down to personal taste and how the furniture will be used. If the patio furniture will be used a lot, resin or aluminium patio furniture are both good choices. Wicker patio furniture is a great choice for less durable but still elegant pieces. Aluminum cushion patio furniture works well and is still very comfortable even when it's used a lot.
Choose what you want and put some of your own style into the patio furniture you buy, no matter what it is or where you get it. With a little design know-how and a few personal touches, your patio will be a place you never want to leave.
