Patios, terraces and verandas are great places to spend your free time. However, these places are often neglected and do not use them in full. When the weather starts to get warmer, you should definitely take advantage of the opportunity and turn the open space into an additional useful living space.

Living outdoors is cool!

We want to make our stay in the open air as comfortable and functional as our indoor facilities. With careful planning, this can be very easy and simple. However, when planning it is worth remembering about the changeable weather, including the possible rain. Even if the temperature allows you to calmly stay on the street, a sudden downpour can ruin your entire vacation, so take care of protective equipment such as umbrellas or awning.

After a warm weather, there is usually humidity and rain, remember that not all materials are suitable for outdoor use. There are special fabrics that will not mold in the bad weather and preserve their properties regardless of the weather. When installing furniture on the street it is worth to be sure that it has undergone special treatment and is ready for operation in harsh conditions of open environment. The market of furniture for the street should please you with its wide choice and variety.

Do not forget to decorate everything

How do you plan to use your open space? Will it be a place for relaxation or a place for noisy parties? Or maybe even this will be an extension for your dining room or barbecue area. In any case, everything is worth it. Set a sufficient number of chairs or sofas, do not forget about the tables if they are needed.

As for the location of the objects, we advise you to put the tables closer to the house, this will allow you to reduce your movement with food, but chairs and benches should be located closer to the grill or a common table if you decide to take out your big table for the reception of guests. You can also use a small mobile table for tea or fruit.

Make everything comfortable, make yourself at home

Comfort and coziness - that's what the guest should feel when you are in your new, well-planned and renovated patio or patio. Think about how your playground will look, when there are no guests there, make everything comfortable enough in their absence. Also, the open space should be multifunctional. You can arrange an intimate evening supper there, or you can sit in a chair behind a book. It is not necessary to buy expensive furniture to feel comfortable and comfortable, sometimes it's enough to just throw a couple of pillows and the place will play in a new way. Just do not forget about the flowers, they always decorate and will be the way to any place.

Do not forget about lighting, you should be comfortable in the courtyard and at night, too, everything should be visible. It is necessary to think in advance of places that should be necessarily covered. In calm and quiet evenings, you can endure a couple of candles to create an intimate and soft light. Remember, we said a little earlier that It is worth paying attention to the flowers, we were a little mistaken, we should not just pay attention to them, we should make flowers in huge pots, many flowers and plants, trees, bushes, everything should smell and smell!

Add something special

When you read a book or magazine about how to create a perfect oasis in the backyard and collect ideas about the living room or dining room, do not forget to add some personal touches. What makes your life better in the house? Add this and on the street! Add mirrors or even pictures, but be careful with the second, they are very sensitive to moisture and direct sunlight.

Plants, candles, collectibles, such as a large ancient bowl or vase, river stones, shells, pine cones - all this can really personalize your space. But watch yourself! Do not Mess!! If your climate allows, you can put the carpet on the street - this will make your stay on the street even more cozy and pleasant, and also reduce the contrast transition from house to street.

Provide shelter from the rain

Perhaps the higher the open space is not so open and you already have a roof that covers it in case of rain, but most likely you do not have it. Therefore, it is worth taking care of how to hide from the rain or scorching sun, so as not to spoil your holiday on the street. For example, you can add a retractable canopy or place several large sun umbrellas. However, your imagination should not be limited to our ideas!
