How to style an exterior patio area

When it comes to styling a specific area in your home it can be very overwhelming with the amount of options and ideas out there. Designing your interior is one thing but styling the exterior of your home is an entirely different ball game. Luckily for you, Nazeli Design is always here to help you with ideas. 

The vibe of every home looks and feels different for everyone. When working on styling the exterior, such as your backyard patio area, it’s important to stick to the same theme that is within the interior of your home but possibly adding a twist to it to create uniform. Your backyard patio is somewhere to have fun and the space should reflect that. It should be relaxing yet still speak the same language of the inside of the house as well. We’re always on the lookout for different ideas and have narrowed down an aesthetic that will match any home with our different LTK Boards. We have curated different boards to give you options. You can mix and match or stick to the design style of one board. The number one thing to keep in mind is that there are no rules. 

People often think of a dated look when styling their patios but don't realize they have options that aren't just the basic looking outdoor furniture. Many also don't realize how many durable items there are and that it is worth investing in your furniture. Using wooden furniture is the perfect mixture of incorporating style and durability in one. The options are endless when you're willing to expand your horizons. Don’t be afraid to use texture and color either! This is the perfect place to do so. You can create such an oasis with these simple tips. 

Start by looking at how much room you have and how you want to use the space. Do you want to be able to host dinner out there because you have an outdoor kitchen or do you want to entertain and relax on a loveseat or sectional? You can then decide on a wooden table or a concrete one, both adding textures of nature. Adding side tables is not only appealing to the eye but is very usable to stack drinks on, plates, and even books when you're relaxing on your own. Protecting yourself from the sun is important as well so don’t forget an umbrella or a canopy. You can really have fun when picking the different umbrella designs that are out there.

Aside from patio furniture you can add so many other lounging necessities, like daybeds and chairs. You won’t often see someone with a daybed in their backyard but imagine what a crowd pleaser that would be by the pool on a summer day. The most important part in all of this is to have fun with it. Your patio area is your escape, incorporate earthy tones, take risks and utilize the space you have. You know that Nazeli Design is always here to give you any tips and tricks you may need!
