Most homeowners are guilty of neglecting their outdoor patio décor, assuming that it has little-of-no real influence over their home’s appearance. But your patio, like a pergola or deck, is an extension of your home. It should be treated that way. Turning a blind eye to this spot will take away from your house’s aesthetics, creating the impression of a poorly designed and decorated atmosphere. You could spruce up your patio and make it look a bit more inviting. Read on for some ways to make your patio look more welcoming!
Eliminate all Clutter
You cannot expect to create an attractive and welcoming patio without first removing all clutter. Are there any old boxes, tools, gardening items, or other things left out? If so, go through your entire patio and remove them. A cluttered patio is a bad “feng shui,’ as it promotes negative energy that scares people from using it. Keep everything neat and tidy; your family and friends will notice the difference.
Add Some Color
Colors can make or break your patio’s décor. Some homeowners will toss a variety of different colors onto their patio. This, in turn, creates a messy and lackluster appearance. A more wise approach is to pick a universal theme that is centered around a specific color palette. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll have to limit yourself to one singular color, but instead use a mix of colors that match and flow well together. Bright colors like yellow and orange tend to work quite well on the patio as they lighten the mood while bringing more energy to the atmosphere.
Set Up Comfortable Seats
We can’t talk about ways to create a more inviting and welcoming patio without mentioning the seats. Rather than using cheap and low-quality plastic tables and chairs, it is recommended that you invest in high-quality seating for your entire patio. Chairs that are created out of teak wood or cedar are excellent choices, as they offer the right combination of style, comfort, and durability, all of which are paramount for patio furniture. This can make or break your patio from a usage perspective.
Define Your Walkways
Are guests and family members currently being forced to walk around a maze of obstacles to reach your patio? If so, you should tackle this issue by clearing the walkways and making them a bit more visible. Overgrown bushes, for example, should be eliminated to create a cleaner walkway. And if required, consider restructuring your entire sidewalk, so it is more convenient for you to use.
