Update Your Patio Space: A Simple Guide to Transform Your Outdoor Area
Updating your patio space is a great way to enhance your outdoor living area and enjoy the warmer months in style. Whether you’re looking for a complete transformation or just a few simple updates, there are plenty of ways to update your patio space without breaking the bank.
Clean everything
Before you undertake any updates, take the time to thoroughly clean your patio. Sweep away dirt and debris, clean your furniture, and power wash if necessary. A clean patio creates a fresh base for your updates and helps you assess what needs attention (and what just needed a deep clean).
Update your furniture
Sometimes, cleaning isn’t enough. If your furniture is looking worn, consider reupholstering cushions, adding new throw pillows, or painting metal or wooden pieces. If your budget allows, you may want to invest in new patio furniture that suits your personal style and allows you to use your space how you enjoy—like hosting friends or relaxing in peace. Just remember to protect your new furniture with covers to prolong its life and protect your investment.
Consider your lighting
Patios are often used in the evening, so lighting is key to setting the right mood. Consider string lights or lanterns and LED candles for a warm, inviting space or use solar powered lights for an energy-efficient option. Just make sure walkways and stairs are well let to avoid being a tripping hazard.
Add plants and greenery
It may seem a little weird to think about adding plants to your outdoor space, but potted plants can make a big impact on your deck or patio. Choose plants that thrive in your climate and fit with your personal aesthetic. For an added bonus, try planting berries, tomatoes, or herbs for greenery you can harvest.
Don’t forget the floor
There are tons of options for outdoor flooring that can give your patio a refreshed and modern feel. Options like outdoor rugs and interlocking deck tiles can instantly change your space and make it more comfortable, too.
Updating your patio space doesn’t require a complete overhaul—small, thoughtful changes can make a big impact. Whether you’re hosting a barbecue or simply enjoying a quiet evening outside, an updated patio is sure to become your go-to spot for relaxation and entertainment, all season long.
