If you're like us, you've been cramped up in your home for a few months now due to the coronavirus and feel like you want to change things up a bit around your home and the patio. The patio is one of the best places to host events and gatherings with your friends and family, and a good upgrade can really help in giving you the confidence to host more.
There are so many ways you can approach a patio upgrade, from a change in furniture to outdoor living space upgrades. If you're struggling for ideas, then here are 5 ways to upgrade your patio.
Install a heating system
With winter quickly approaching, it becomes hard to comfortably stay outside. An outdoor heating system can be the thing to keep yourself and everyone else warm and stay out for a little longer! You could install a crackling fire pit to roast up some marshmallows, or look into portable outdoor gas heaters for extra flexibility.
Standing patio heaters like firestick gas heater are very convenient as they can be effectively installed at any location outside as long as they have a fuel source. These patio heaters are like what you would regularly find in a bar or a restaurant and are considered by far the most popular patio heater used.
Make it personal
For those particularly windy nights, or if you want a bit of privacy, hang up some fabric around your patio/outdoor space. You could make a secluded seating area for two, or hang up some plastic screens to block the wind.
Bring out some furniture to make a more comfortable scene. Rattan furniture is durable for outdoor use but still looks presentable and fits right into an outdoor aesthetic. If you're DIY savvy, there are countless DIY customisation ideas available for you to try out. Things from wall mounted plants to fairy light presentation, you won't struggle to find inspiration if you do a bit of searching.
Add some nature
If you have a certain theme in mind for your outdoor space, then this isn't a necessary one. But adding a variety of plants and shrubbery can help spruce up your patio and is a great way of decorating your patio. If you're seeking something a little more zen, think about getting a water feature installed. Big or small, anything that can simulate the sound of running water may help strengthen your tranquility.
Install a misting system
When the days start getting warm and humid, one of the most efficient and pleasing looking ways to keep everyone cool is with an outdoor misting system . These systems sprinkle out fine amounts of water as mist, showering everyone in a cool mist that won't drench anything.
This effect can be really pleasing to look at and for those hot nights, you can take it one step further. Place some coloured LED lights right behind each sprayer and watch your water light show come to life!
Utilize all your space
Do you have a dusty BBQ lying around in the corner of your patio? Try to find extra, unused spaces around your outdoor space and make your backyard more fun! Use the space to create different activities to keep yourself and your guests entertained. Maybe that corner would make for a good darts area? It's your space, make it come alive.
