Patio design ideas
In the summer, with a little more free time, we have more energy to remodel, not only our homes but also our patios. The latter is worth the effort as it results in great joy on warm summer days. How do you design a patio to make it not only functional but also stylish?
People very often put off finishing the patio until the end of the planned remodelling works. However, spring sweeps are a good time to think how to arrange that space. You are bound to quickly appreciate the fact of having a place where you can relax outdoors.
Patio like a second living room
Treat your patio like a place where you spend your free time, and in designing it, let your imagination run wild. Think about comfortable garden furniture, resembling living room sofas. Soft cushions and a place to lie down are definitely conducive to relaxation. They will create the atmosphere of warmth and comfort that is usually associated with the living room. You also have to pick the colours. White furniture can get dirty quickly. Any shades of grey or wooden elements are excellent as they will mask any damp patches caused by rain. The additional advantage of such colours is that they never go out of style.
If you choose heavy sofas, keep a proper ground in mind as it is easy to scratch the floor. To combine style with functionality, choose a milled rock collection: Solid 2.0 or Grand Concrete. This way, you will not have to worry about damaging the surface.
If you do not have the room or budget for large furniture, choose simple wooden garden chairs. They can be easily transformed through the addition of soft cushions and blankets, boosting both the appearance and comfort of the area. Their style harmonises with a wooden finishing, for instance Wood 2.0 milled rock tiles. Your budget may benefit even more from couches made of wooden pallets, decorated with mattresses and cushions.

Patio inspirations
Remember about exciting accessories while arranging your patio. Large lanterns where you can put candles are both stylish and practical. Available in a number of colours, they are not only spectacular but also immensely useful during long summer nights.
A patio is also a perfect place for large stone flower pots with plants. Pick the species not only based on your visual preferences but also on practical considerations. If you place blossoming flowers near the sitting space, then in addition to enjoying their beautiful looks, you may face the problem of bees circling around you on summer days. Ornamental grasses or sun-resistant plants might be a better idea.
