How to Give Your Patio a Makeover?

With the beautiful weather here, it’s time to start enjoying the outdoors, especially after a long winter. Your patio is the perfect place to start! Creating a livable outdoor space will make you never want to return inside, even on those rainy days.

1. Don’t start from scratch; work with the space you have. Don’t spend money renovating your yard and outdoor living space- work with what you have. Sketch out your desired space and take measurements to see what you are working with. Set a budget.

2. Take into consideration the environment you live in and what surface would work best for your space.

3. With the heat from the summer sun, it’s important to plan your shade especially if you plan on entertaining guests. Considering adding a few umbrellas or a pergola for extra shade.

4. Add landscaping and plants around your new space to add a colorful touch to your space.

5. Determine where you want to add your furniture and seating. Take into consideration the budget you have set for yourself. If your budget doesn’t allow new furniture consider stopping by a few local garage sales.
