Decorating Your Patio for Summer

May is just a few weeks away, which means we’ll be spending more time outdoors! Decorating your outdoor space doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg! Decorate your porch or patio with these simple and affordable DIY ideas:
 
Setting Up Furniture
When it comes to creating a seating area for you and your guests, it’s important to think about how you want the space to be used. For example, if it’s just two of you, you might want to keep things simple: set up two wicker chairs and a cozy coffee table. If you’re big on hosting, swap out chairs for love seats and angle them towards each other. This will help create a spot for casual conversation.

Arranging Plants
Adding greenery to your outdoor patio is one of the more obvious ways of saying “hello, summer!” But there are many ways to accomplish this. We suggest freshening up your outdoor place with potted plants - easy to setup and easy to shift around. Add texture by switching up pots with small wagons. Spruce up the space with ferns, lavender, hydrangeas, sunflowers, and other colorful greens!

 Adding Light
Light up the night in these simple ways: stick tiny tiki torches in your potted plants, create an arrangement of lantern candles on your coffee table, or set up canopy string lights. For further inspiration and simple DIY projects for outdoor lighting, we turn to Pinterest!

How to Dress Up Your Patio

The patio is one of our favorite spots to relax during the summer, but sometimes a deck chair just isn’t enough to liven things up. Make the most out of your outdoor space by transforming it into a place just as comfortable as indoors. Here are a few ideas to achieve both comfort and style:

Make it comfy. Outdoor furniture should look and feel comfortable. By adding a neutral fabric to wicker furniture, you can create a natural ambiance. Spice it up with accent pillows to turn a cozy place into a stylish one at that!

Add privacy. Implementing a row of evergreen trees doesn’t take up too much space, but it’s just enough to create a wall of privacy so you can enjoy the patio all to yourself. A few lime green pillows, candles, or even a coffee table can bring the organic scene to life. 

Create unity. Tie your outdoor space together by choosing one or two colors. For example, vibrant blue and ‘punchy’ green furniture can brighten up the patio while not sticking out too much like a sore thumb.

Bring water. Ahh, the sound of a peaceful creek - a tranquil element you’d be wise to add to your space. No matter how big or small, a fountain that features a recirculating pump will create a soothing place for you to retreat to on a beautiful morning or night.

Add plenty of pillows. What says comfort more than pillows? These plushy accessories speak for themselves - a wonderful addition to your patio so that you and your guests can lounge outside for hours of relaxation while soaking up the sun. Opt for a wide assortment of patterns and colors to dress it up to perfection. Make sure they’re washable and stain resistant!
