Add on patio ideas.

Although this patio idea might seem luxurious you can easily put together a diy version using cement blocks and wood boards. Garden statues bird feeders and wind chimes will all add personality. Maximize your outdoor living spaces with simple add ons like functional patio furniture and outdoor lighting that boost appeal and safety. The dappled sunlight created by the overhead latticework creates a cool relaxing environment perfect for backyard entertaining like standing in the shade of a tree on a hot summer day.

These patio projects and makeovers will show how to design an outdoor room for style and comfort. Build a vine covered pergola in your backyard to shade a stone patio or wood deck using wood beams and lattice set on precast classical style columns. Open rafters mean that you can weave plants through the beams and are solid enough to hang an outdoor light. Planted directly in the ground or in pots and planters flowers and foliage will help bring your patio ideas to life.

Use these patio design ideas to turn your yard into a relaxing retreat. Accessorize your patio with furniture to make it more livable. Add outdoor chairs or stools at counter height and an umbrella to complete the setup.
