If you’re dreaming of a covered patio for summer entertaining, you’re not alone. One of the most sought-after features for houses right now is a covered patio for dining and gathering with friends and family. Make the most of your backyard by looking at patio ideas that can transform a simple space into something really remarkable.
The right garden design around the footprint of your covered patio transforms a boring patio into an attractive and inviting outdoor living area that will appeal to you all year long. A patio, with its weatherproofing and open floor plan, is an excellent option for all seasons. With a fire pit situated within a patio, you may enjoy cool nights spent around flickering flames.
Here are 6 ideas to build into your covered patio to make your backyard even more beautiful:
Add a Fire Pit: Adding a fire pit to your patio gives it an incredible ambiance. Sit and unwind on a chilly night. There are backyard fire pit designs that will make your patio, even more inviting. From portable enclosed outdoor chimeneas to beautiful open copper and steel pits, adding a fire feature creates visual magic and warmth.
Outdoor Kitchens: Wouldn’t you love a grill and food-prep station or a built-in BBQ island with a fridge and bar seating in your own backyard? When it comes to summer entertaining, dining al fresco is only half the fun. Outdoor kitchens also make food preparation quicker and more enjoyable. Convenience aside, they may also considerably boost the footprint of your indoor living space. One patio consideration to make is that some flooring materials are better suited to the elements; be sure you choose materials that are compatible for outdoors. (HGTV, 2021)
Add a TV and Sound System: Another simple addition to make your patio more fun, whether it’s for any reason, gathering, or party. Turn on your favorite music and you’re ready to go. You’ve done enough indoors the last 2 years and now it’s time to get out there and enjoy some of those long summer days by the pool or cool autumn nights watching football.
Add Hammocks: Hanging hammocks are an excellent method to relieve tension on your body while also allowing you to enter a state of peaceful relaxation. This summer, hanging hammock chairs and outdoor hammocks are ideal for relaxing in a shady spot and reading your nightstand novel or listing to your favorite podcast – all surrounded by natural beauty.
Install Lighting: The right lighting will bring any area to life. Lighting is always the most important decorative and functional element. You may personalize outdoor ambiance with focal lighting on garden features and string lights to add romance.
Build a Pergola: A garden pergola may be used to transform a large garden space and provide a seating area for morning coffee or a special evening with a bottle of wine. A pergola can become a mini outside living room optimizing those fair weather days.
