Patios are spaces attached to a house and usually open at the sides. As it open, there wouldn’t be any concrete walls, but would provide a preamble to your entrance.
Patios can look warm, cozy, inviting and dazzling or it can look just the opposite. The good news is that you can experiment with your patio and give it a makeover that converts it into the most important part of the house. When done brilliantly, it can be the ideal space for social gatherings, lazy afternoons or even your meditation space. Here are 5 ideas that would help you make the best out of your patio:
Lighting – Choose the right kind of lightning for the patio because it can draw attention to details, provide the right kind of ambience and highlight the key features within the patio.
Contemporary accessories – Throw in some modern touches like polished stones, incredible sculptures or tiles placed in organised lines and angles creating a theme for your patio. Simple fixtures can go a long way in defining a meaning to your patio.
Installing Pergolas – Pergolas are wonderful, architecture pieces that do not provide a lot of shade, but render a certain level aesthetics to the outdoor space. Pair the pergolas with matching curtains, convert it into climbing structures for vines and creepers, and you can create your own entertainment area.
Vintage furniture – The charm and aesthetics of vintage is undeniable, and hence, would make your patio the centrepiece of your house. Add a burst of colour as upholstery for the furniture to give it a major style boost.
Sliding doors – If you prefer a small degree of privacy when you are having a party or while meditating in the early mornings, sliding doors would be a good idea.
A well-thought out patio can add character, charm and personality to the house. Fill it with colours and vegetation to send a cheery message to the visitor. Paint it with bright colours to make it warm and inviting.
