If you are lucky and have your patio, you probably think of how to decorate it and make it stylish. That may require some work, but it will be worth it in the end.

Doesn´t matter if you live in the countryside or the city, if you have a big or small patio is all about the approach!

1)All White Surfaces

Starting with a straightforward approach, you can do the all-white look. It looks cool when the sun hits, and you can complement it with some flowers to bring a pop of color.

2) Keep it Neutral

If you are not a fan of the all-white look on your patio, maybe go for the neutrals. Go for the most earthy colors to the greyish to make a statement.

3) When Modern Meets Natural

In this idea, the concept is to merge the modern and contemporary design. In the picture below, we can see Andy Beers’ home beautiful Pacific Northwestern Forest landscape.

The steel and glass frames combination makes the house feel like it is floating and a part of the environment. A natural extension of the ambient with a minimalist railing and bold table.

4) Create an Urban Oasis Patio

Even if you are in the city, you still deserve to have the patio you idealize. The following example is a restaurant on the Brooklyn brownstone designed by Laurie Blumenfeld- Russo.

Here you can feel the industrial vibes from Brooklyn, but you can create your patio vision.

5) Make it Lush

On the same vibe, we advise optimizing your patio space. It doesn’t matter if the patio is small or big. You can use the vertical space and introduce some greenery. Therefore, making the place look preserved.

6) A Lookout Point

The lookout paint is all about the view, whether it is small or big. It is a perfect patio if your patio overlooks a beautiful view, lined with lounge chairs.

7) Tile Landing Pad

If you want to make the patio area feels unique and have your own space, lay down some titles to stand out. Besides that, following the same trend, never say no to bougainvillea and firepits.

8) Outdoor Shower

On the same note of limiting areas, imagine yourself on a hot summer day taking a quick shower on the patio. In this idea, you can have a jacuzzi to sleek and a tubular chrome outdoor to rinse off after soaking. Additionally, elevating your patio décor.

9) Prepared for a good party

Following the same page, it is a good idea to have an area to host parties with your family and friends. For example, prepare the patio with a sound system to have a dinner party. Add some lighting and extra seats to create a cozy space.

Tip: Choose speakers of the same color as the exterior walls to create a well-blended ambient.

11) Small details that make the difference

This trend is all about the details. As we can see in the picture, part of LH Designs’ project used these pretty succulents. This is proof that small pieces can make a difference.

12) Create an Outdoor Bar

If you want to complete the previous ideas, we advise you to build an outdoor bar. You can add an eye-catching title design and hang string lights for a more romantic summer vibe. This outdoor design is by Studio Lifestyle. If you have the budget, why not incorporate an outdoor kitchen.

What better way to turn your patio cozy and welcoming than adding an outdoor grade pool table. There is a cooking area and a banquette for dining and drinks opposite the custom by Linda Hayslett pool table. There is no excuse to math mix the different trends. Don’t be scared. Just do it.

14) Many Use Cases

The furniture designer John Houshmand’s Mexican property is about enjoying the outdoors with style. This trend includes a lot of seating areas for larger parties but also for a quiet place.

The brick wall matches the golden cushions, wood tables, and terracotta foundation. The stone columns introduce contrast and a cooler one to the rest.

15) Bistro Nook

Last but not least is the bistro nook. If you have a small patio and want a cozy space to relax, eat your breakfast or enjoy your coffee, this is the perfect example.

On this patio by Arent & Pyke, we can see a round pedestal table, built-in benches, and stools that create extra space.
