Patio decor. Perhaps you have considered how to make it feel more relaxing. Or maybe you want your patio décor to feel inviting for guests. And so, what ever you are considering, here are some simple tips to improve your Patio décor.
Perhaps you’ve just moved into your new home and you’ve got a patio of your very own for the first time. Or maybe you’ve had one for a while and just didn’t know what to do with it. Patios are magnificently flexible spaces, if not a little boring by themselves. Therefore, think of your patio as a three-dimensional canvas that you can literally create anything on that you’d like. Maybe a tiki hot tub paradise. Or perhaps a casual outdoor dining space. After all, patio decor is only limited by your imagination. Here are some things to think about when you’re trying to dress yours up!

Patio Decor – A New Light!
Patios are great. However, nighttime patio lighting is often lackluster. For patios near the house, many people rely on a single bulb hanging near the back door. And so those ten feet away may have no lighting whatsoever! It’s understandable, since there was once a time when your only outdoor lighting options were hardwired. That was even trickier with a cement slab.
But today’s patios have so many more options. Not only are solar lights affordable and reliable, they’re also amazingly diverse. Want a bit of a beach party mood? Add a whole collection of solar-powered string lights with round bulbs. Looking for something more romantic and period? Victorian-themed solar wall sconces can evoke a real mood. Add poles to elevate your lighting for even more flexibility in placement. My mother loves her solar powered LED tiki flame lights reflecting off of her pool. And, of course, you can even get SMART lighting for around and even IN your pool!

Fun in the Shade
Sure, the sun is awesome, but have you tried the shade? The shade is great, especially on a sunny day when the entire world is just a little too hot and a little too bright. And so, shades can also protect dining areas from debris that might fall from nearby trees. Thus helping to make dining outdoors a true pleasure.
Shade sails are easy to install. They come in lots of fun colors, and lend a super modern look to all kinds of spaces. If you want something a little more serious and a lot more fancy, consider pergolas. Aluminum pergolas with shade systems can be attached to your patio or home permanently. These often have shades that can be opened or closed to let the sun in – or not – as your heart desires. Some even come with curtains to create a more private space.

Roll Out the Carpet
Next, consider outdoor rugs. They are increasingly diverse and must-have patio items to accompany outdoor living furniture and tables. These rugs can be heavy duty, with similar quality to rugs you might choose to have inside your house. And available in a huge range of patterns and colors can help you create the atmosphere you’ve been dreaming of.
Using an outdoor rug can help keep your patio looking cleaner. Also they can define specific spaces if your patio is larger and has a few different activity areas. You might color-coordinate one under your patio dining set (set beneath your new pergola, of course), and add another to the set of patio furniture near the hot tub to encourage people to stop and have a chat.
Patio Decor – Add a Pop of Color!
Finally, consider bring in the dynamic element of color! Often a patio can have a predominant color theme. Maybe brown, tan, green, white, or perhaps something else. Now, find something that can contrast and still blend well with the predominant theme. Blue against white. Orange against brown. Let your imagination run wild.
Of course, your patio is almost certainly already near plants. The right plants can also bring a bold pop of color as well. Even potted plants can be a great addition. Sleek and modern areas might benefit from simple, upright foliage plants in tall, narrow pots. More traditional spaces could go full cottagecore with some old wash tubs overflowing with your favorite annuals. Again, the sky is the limit!
