More about Patio Ideas

There’s nothing more relaxing than a day spent lounging outside. Hold that thought, how about: there’s nothing more relaxing than a day spent lounging outside on amazing outdoor furniture and accessories to make the day fly by. Yes, that’s more like it. Transforming the great outdoors into a space that’s far more comfortable, patio design is essential to getting your terrace or backyard in shape for the summer season.

From weeding and trimming to planting and watering, it takes a bit of effort to tame the perfect outdoor space, and from there begins the decorating. Certainly more inviting than a stump and shrubs, the right design can have a major impact on how you enjoy your yard or terrace, transforming even those indoor-types into nature lovers. Whether you're looking to host friends for a chic garden party or just looking to let loose with a glass of wine and a little moon gazing, furnishings made of rattan or wicker can go a long way in making the outdoors feel more like home. Having accessories like cushions and blankets on hand make that summer breeze far more enjoyable and remember, never forgo lighting. Whether in the form of candles and lanterns, or twinkle lights elegantly draped, a little shine goes a long way in creating your at-home oasis.

Whether it’s the French countryside that makes your heart flutter or a Morroccan rooftop garden that causes you to swoon, find inspiration for transforming a disgruntled deck or boring balcony into the thing dreams are made of—and enjoy an outdoor, summer nap in style.
