Whether you are looking to spruce up your backyard patio for a special occasion or daily use, we’ve outlined the top tips for creating an inviting, beautiful space.
Use Greenery
Potted plants can take your backyard patio from drab to fab in just a few quick steps. First, use a variety of greens that vary in height to maximize the wow factor. You can also use hanging planters to make your space look visually appealing. Finally, for a dramatic, lush look, choose vine-like perennial roses or evergreen ivy that can climb up a wall.
Add Landscape Lighting
Meticulously placed lighting can add romance and warmth to your backyard, and you can do it on a budget. String lights strung from tree to tree, or woven around a tree trunk, will add flair. Lanterns work well, too. Tiki torches are great and can be used to add interest to the corner points of your patio. Candles and glass hurricane lamps will create a romantic atmosphere for tiny spaces.
Cozy Pillows
If you want to add some personality to your patio and make it feel more inviting, colourful cushions are perfect. Add them to your benches and chairs to make your guests feel welcomed. With various colours and patterns, you can easily find some that will fit your taste.
Add a Hammock or Swinging Bench
A hammock or swinging bench is perfect for relaxing on a warm summer day. Imagine cuddling up with a loved one or a good book and relaxing while the wind breezes. We highly doubt you’ll regret adding one to your backyard!
