I’ve noticed that–for some reason–patios seem to be “forgotten” when it comes to design and decor.  Nevertheless, they do play a pivotal role and–believe it or not–say a lot about your home.  Read on to find out FLAIR’s tips and tricks when it comes to patio design.

Steps and Stairs

Other than becoming a focal point, incorporating a staircase into your patio design will divide the space into two designated, functional areas; keep the upper level for dinner parties and allow your guests to relax and unwind on the lower level. Don’t forget to add some comfortable, loung-y furniture pieces.

Serenity at its Best

Think of your patio as a place to chillax; why not add a water feature to your space, ensuring an element of zen?  Opt for relaxing hues and simple fabrics to ensure a state of relaxation.

Modern Sass

 More into clean lines and sharp edges?  Go for it!  To cozy your modern space up a bit–after all no one likes a cold aura–add lush plants and shrubs for a welcoming feel.

 Pleasing Pergolas

 Pergolas add instant charm to any patio.  Other than their obvious function of shading, they add an interesting architectural element, ensuring a unique twist to your patio.

  Warm and Firey

 How about incorporating a stone fireplace into your patio design?  During the cold winter days you can still enjoy the outdoors while snuggling up next to the fire; as for the warmer days, a stone fire place will become a focal point and add a dash of flair to your patio as well.

 Practical Snacking

 Instead of running in and out of the house while your guests are around, why not make use of a small kitchenette?  For starters, preparing snacks and storing drinks will be much easier, and if you choose to include a serving area as well, then you won’t need to run around with trays and glasses!
