Vibrant & Rich

The best way to create a vibrant and rich backyard patio is by having a flourishing garden. Plant some trees, shrubs, and flowers around the space to soften the harshness of a paved yard. Adding greenery will enable tranquility and allow you to relax in your space. You will also want to add some patio furniture that offers comfort, but also has a chic look to it in order to pull the space together.

Small Patio

Even though your patio lacks in size, it can be made up for with flexibility. Using less will certainly make this space stand out! If your backyard is enclosed by walls you can hang lights, create a vertical garden, or decorate with outdoor wall art. In order to maximize the space without overcrowding, you will want to implement a bistro style dining area where you can enjoy a morning cup of Joe or even dinner for two!

By the Pool

There is no better way to sit back and relax then by water. Enhance your pool patio with a covered daybed or lounge chairs to embrace full revitalization. Place decorative lanterns around the pool, one on each corner, to add a great nighttime ambiance, use decorative accent tables to harbor summertime cocktails, and tropical plants in contemporary containers to achieve a summer oasis!


These are just a few tips to design your backyard and make your patio come to life! You can be spending time relaxing in your home paradise in no time!
