There is no greater joy than being able to feel the fresh air whenever you want. Just imagine the beauty of being able to enjoy your Saturday morning cup of coffee on your patio while feeling the sun on your skin. (sighs) Priceless. In order to make these mornings and nights as pleasant as possible, adding something new in your patio from time to time would be perfect. And no, we are not talking about some big change or investment. Instead, we are talking about making small but significant changes that can turn your patio in your home oasis.

Change/Add Throw Pillows

Throw pillows really have the ability to add a dash of colour and freshness to a place. The choice of throw pillows is huge, ranging in size, shape, design, colour and material, giving you the opportunity to choose the right for your outdoor seating set. Regardless of what you choose, you should pay more attention to the fabric as not all fabrics are weather-resistant. This could be of vital importance especially for those of you who have an open patio which is not covered with shade.

Add a Fire Pit

Adding flair with a fire pit is another way to jazz up your patio. Regardless of its size, nowadays you can choose from different types and styles of fire pits in order to complement any outdoor style. Wood, concrete, glass and stones are some of the many materials from which a fire pit can be made. One thing is certain, a fire pit is ideal for gathering with guests. It’s appealing, stylish and functional piece that can become the focal point in your patio. The fun and long talks around it are guaranteed!

Opt for Container Plants

Adding greenery in an outdoor space is always a good idea and one of the easiest ways to add this is with the help of container planters. But no, we are not talking about some ordinary planters, but for the self-watering planter box bench models. Except for flowers and different types of grasses, these planters could be the perfect home for veggies, fruit and herbs. Sturdy, safe, Eco-friendly, stylish and sleek, a planter box bench of this kind is the perfect addition for any outdoor space.

For things to be easier, this planter models have a water level indicator which shows when there is a water deficit.

Hang Some Interesting Lights

Having a perfectly lit patio is the key to having those long and comfortable nights with your partner, friends and family. Instead of relying on the wall light or ceiling fixture (if any), you can add a little bit of romance by hanging a strand of lights. The beauty in these lights is that they can be hanged literally anywhere you like, like on the fence, on the umbrella, pergola etc. Besides these lamps, you can take advantage of the sun and place solar in-ground lights at different locations. Besides being stylish, they do not require any hard-wiring which is amazing.

Add a Small Rug

Who says that rugs are designed only for the indoor areas? Nowadays, you can choose from the large selection of waterproof rugs that come in different shapes, designs, colours and sizes. When it comes to choosing the right size, it is best to stick to the smaller rugs that go only under the coffee table and the surrounding seating area. That way you can make your patio warmer and more welcoming while not overdoing anything. Now, when it comes to choosing the right rug fabric, outdoor designers recommend synthetic rugs to be a great choice for such spaces. Plastic and polypropylene fabrics, in particular, are ideal for the purpose as they can be hosed down for easy cleaning. When not in use, you can just roll it up and move it around with ease. On the other hand, if you are more kind of a Boho inspired person and one that loves nature, you can try rugs made of natural fabrics like jute and sisal. Thanks to its style and durability, these rugs could be the perfect choice for high traffic areas as well. As an addition, these fabrics are also great sound absorbers. So, if this is important to you, these rugs can certainly fulfil your requirements.
