Home Design 101: Design Ideas for a Stunning Patio

Patios are an extension of your home and personal style. With that in mind, you want your guests and loved ones to feel truly welcome when they step out to your yard. You can elevate the look and atmosphere of your outdoor space by following these design tips from your preferred patio doors expert, Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming.

Lighting

While your patio receives a sufficient amount of natural lighting during the daytime, it needs to be illuminated by artificial light come nighttime. A solar-powered setup is a cost-effective and attractive patio lighting scheme. String lights are a lovely choice for small patios as they provide the appropriate lighting for more intimate settings. You can also invest in sturdy yet elegant lighting fixtures that can withstand the outside elements.

Keep in mind that patios are all about rest and relaxation so pick lighting options that are subtle yet adequate.

Doors

Sliding patio doors provide a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor space. Depending on your tastes and preferences, you may choose from a wide variety of materials, such as vinyl, wood, aluminum or fiberglass. You can also pick a color that goes best with your outdoor color palette.

 Privacy and Comfort

A trellis is a beautiful way to provide privacy, not to mention the foliage will reduce the noise and air pollution in your patio. Next, matching pillows and a chaise lounge or two can amplify the comfort levels of your patio. Choose patterns and designs that complement and accentuate the theme of your patio. Think shades of calming blues and refreshing greens, or visually stunning reds and vibrant yellows.

With these design tips, your patio is guaranteed to look and feel like the outdoor oasis you’ve always wanted. Need more style ideas?
