Get new patio doors

Open up your patio and integrated it seamlessly with the indoors by installing proper patio doors and you will not regret it.

Upcycle the patio furniture

If you have a patio, chances are you also have patio furniture. If this is looking a bit old and worn, then your patio space will look much less inviting. Luckily, it is really easy to makeover patio furniture by giving it a thorough cleaning and maybe even painting it and making new fabric covers for the seats. Instead of sticking to neutral colors paint the furniture bright pink or pastel blue or make seat covers using bold botanical fabrics and your patio will be one of the most striking on the block.

Install a fire pit

If you do not already have a fire pit on your patio, then it might be worth thinking about installing one. Not only will it provide an attractive focal point for the space, but it will ensure that you can keep hanging out on the patio long after the sun has gone down and a chill has set into the air. Obviously, if your patio is very small as there is not enough space to keep between your home and the fire pit, it might not be a good idea to install one, but otherwise, go for it.

Pot some plants

Lots of people take pride in planting pretty flowers and shrubs in their garden, but they leave the actual patio space barren of greenery. This is a real mistake because a nice plant or flower in a pretty pot can really help to cheer the patio space up. So, go out and buy a nice brightly colored plant pot or two and pick out a plant that you like the shape and color of and use them as a decor point for your patio. It will instantly lift the space with very little effort on your part at all.

Jetwash the space

If your patio is stone, then a really easy way of revamping it is to hire a jetwash and clean up those stones to remove the built-up first and grime. The patio will instantly look like new and it won’t cost you very much in terms of time or money, at all.

Add an awning

If you do not already have an awning, install one right now. It will make your patio space far more comfortable as it will provide you with lots of good shade from the sun. Of course, if you choose a pretty awning in your favorite colors, it will also add to the overall decor of the space too.

Consider a water feature

A pretty fountain, a decorative pond, or a statue that let water flow freely, will not only look good on your patio but it will also fill the space with the sound of running water which as you will probably know, is one of the most calming sounds there is, If you want to be able to relax and chill on your patio, then a water feature is truly essential.

Hang fairy lights

Fairy lights are great at providing muted lighting, while also adding to the sparkle of the space. Wrap them around fences, hang them above your patio on the awning, or line the patio doors with them and it will look truly amazing in the evenings

If you are lucky enough to have a patio space where you can hang out in the summer when the weather is good, then you should really take the time to look after it and make it as nice as possible. 

Any and all of the above ideas will really help you to spruce up this valuable outdoor space, so why not do just that right now?
