As the evening breeze flows through the house, you lay back and relax outside on your patio furnishing with an iced latte in your hand and your favorite song playing on the radio… Even typing this feels good and nurturing. If you have a backyard patio, you know it is your time to shine because summer is here. With COVID taking hold of our lives for the past year, we are grateful for refreshing and soothing details in our homes more than ever. A tasty and comfy patio requires some effort though. We know the real struggle is not the “how to” but rather is the “what” , therefore, prepared this article for you to give tips and suggestions on what you can do to boost your backyard this season.

Lean on pillows

Pillows add so much significance to a space. Their impact can make or break your space with just a touch. They are cushy, vibrant, ornamental, and affordable. Make sure to include pillows in your patio decoration and make sure its many! It is the more, the merrier with decorative pillows. If you are aiming for a bohemian look, go for oriental patterns. If your goal is to shine in modernism, throw in some geometric patterns or dynamic, single color looks. There are also nostalgic patterns that can be your fulfillment in historic themes like Eastern or Persian style prints, which will beautify your space divinely!

Our perpetual favorites, area rugs

An area rug is the hidden architect of a complete look in a room. You can never go wrong with an area rug that fits the theme perfectly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Check out this coastal pattern for instance. This cheery design will be stunning if your patio includes blues, cream tones or even greens. Its whimsical layout makes it a radiant completion for almost all upbeat, warm colors. You can also accompany it divinely if you have nautical accessories implemented in your patio decoration. This will set up an impressive aqua of your own which you can dive into every day.                                                                                                                                                                                 

If you believe being so upfront or obvious, decoration wise, isn’t your thing, you can always go for a darker, mystic look which will create a charming, fine atmosphere. Mandala inspired oriental motifs or ethnic artworks will transform your outdoor scenes into spiritual sanctuaries.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Spend more on one specific element

If you are in desperate need of a spark in your patio decoration, we have a thought for you. Identify a specific accessory or furniture piece and fully invest in it. If you think a freestanding fire pit will do the magic, go for it. Or maybe an oversize lamp decorated in precious stones, or a swing chair will be the focal point in your outdoors. You will be going an extra mile with your budget, but we assure you it will leave you with an attractive backyard you will cherish for decades. Surely it will be worth the penny!

The fundamental spark of string lights

Don’t let high price tags intimidate you. There are cheaper ways to illuminate your outdoor patio too. Elevate your patio’s ambiance with comfy furniture and strands of string lights hanging from above. You can also scatter strings over your dining spot. This will make your meals and shared moments more precious than ever.

Show off your collection(s) or hobbies

When we say collection, it doesn’t just mean high-end or pricey collections. A modest collection of various seashells collected from different seas decorated on a string, a vintage cars collection, a simple gathering of plants in mini containers all carry the same definition and spirit. Prepare a spot in your backyard and lay out your collection or your favorite accessories representing your hobbies or desires. This will give you a tasty scene to cherish every time you are out on your patio, sipping your cup of coffee with your loved ones.
