The patio: a place of peace, joy, comfort, and good company. In the summer months, you want to be outside as much as possible, and the patio is the perfect place to do that.
There’s just one problem: you don’t know what to do with your patio.
Don’t worry, this can be remedied with some professional guidance. Allow us to guide you using what we’ve learned from our professional experience in patio designs in Springfield, OH.
The Foundation
Much of your patio will be based around the paver you use. This will set the tone for the surrounding aesthetic. Of course, you should choose something that doesn’t clash with your home. Still, you have some freedom.
If you prefer a more old-fashioned or classic look, brick, smaller stones, or small concrete squares and rectangles can provide just that. This look never goes out of style, though if you’re wanting a more modern feel, larger slabs or stones are the way to go.
Then, of course, there’s the color. While something a little bold might make your patio stand out more, a neutral grey, tan, or brick red makes it easier to match with your house and patio furniture.
Keep it Cozy and Comfortable
You want your patio to be a place where you can relax for an extended period of time. Some nice, padded patio furniture can be a great addition. Of course, if you want the ability to eat and entertain guests out there, you’ll want a table and chairs as well.
We’d suggest one that has an optional umbrella for both rainy and overly sunny days.
Another fantastic addition for a patio is a fire pit. There’s nothing better than gathering around a crackling fire on a summer evening with close friends or family. If you have the room, this is a must have.
The Surrounding Landscape
With a nice patio in place, you suddenly become much more aware of the surrounding yard. Don’t settle for a boring, empty landscape. Some well-placed trees, flowers, and shrubbery can bring your patio (and your home’s exterior in general) to an entirely different level.
You can even install a pond or waterfall so you can enjoy the soothing atmosphere that water brings.
With a beautiful landscape and the right patio design, you may find yourself eager to simply stay home more often. Don’t worry, your friends and family will be glad to come over and enjoy it with you.
