Every homeowner wants a beautiful outdoor space that invites you to sit and relax while sipping on a glass of wine and enjoying the sweet scent of the evening air. We’ve listed down some fun ways you can spruce up your patio.
Add Some Lights
Adding lights is one of the easiest and most effective ways to bring your patio to life. If you’re going for a romantic, vintage vibe, a bold chandelier will surely make an eye-catching statement. For a more fun, and warm look, fairy lights are your best bet. You can even add a center umbrella and hang strings of lights from the top for that magical feel.
If wired lights are not what you’re looking for, solar light can do the job just as well. For the 200 sunny days we receive in Boston, these lights will work best if placed in strategic locations. Add some of your favorite scented candles to the table for that added flair, and it’ll look like a patio of your dreams.
Keep It Comfy
Patios are a great place for dates, family game nights, or even for some alone time. The right outdoor seating arrangements will make this place feel more like home. You can keep it clean by choosing a simple bench, go artsy with a colorful couch, or even add a hammock and some beanbags to curl up on a cold winter day! If you already have some chairs or a couch, you can change their slipcovers to a patterned one for more depth and personality. We’d even suggest adding a comfortable rug on the floor so you can lie down and enjoy the sunset as well.
Throw In Some Pillows
Now that you’ve added some cozy elements to your space take it up a notch by throwing in some colorful pillows. They will instantly bring life to your seating area and will be great for those B.B.Q parties. When selecting pillows, be sure to search for outdoor-friendly options that are made of weather-resistant material. Use complementary colors like blue pillows on a red couch, or you can even keep it classy by staying safe with monochrome — the patio is your canvas, after all!
Mask the Noise
Sometimes the ambient noise such as construction, traffic, or even your neighbors can ruin the mood that your décor sets. Adding a water feature will mask this noise and add a soothing, relaxing sound. You can opt for a mini waterfall, or even get your Bluetooth speaker and play on your favorite songs.
