5 Inspiring Patio Ideas for Outdoor Living

If you’re looking to refresh your patio, but lacking ideas or inspiration, we can help! It can be difficult to visualise what your garden could potentially look like, especially if it’s a small space.

By making a few small changes, you can create an outdoor area which is perfect for hosting garden parties with your friends and family, and an ideal space to relax on those long summer evenings.

To help you visualise your new patio, we’ve put together 5 inspiring patio ideas that you could replicate in your garden.

1. A Firepit

Fire pits are a great investment for your patio, especially if you love to host gatherings with your friends and family. You can all sit around the fire, toast marshmallows and stay out late on those autumn evenings. You could build your own, or simply purchase a firepit from your local garden centre.

2. Artificial Grass

Adding some artificial grass to your patio will instantly refresh the space. Not only will it look smart, but it’s low maintenance, saving you the job of deep cleaning the patio on a regular basis.

3. Pergola

A pergola is the perfect addition to any patio. They offer protection from the sun by filtering the light, and can be decorated to suit your own taste. Pergolas are often covered with vines or plants, which add further protection from sunlight and can attract a range of wildlife to your garden.

4. Fairy Lights

Fairy lights create a great ambience for evenings spent outdoors. You can hang them against a garden wall, or hang them overhead to replace traditional lighting. Choose from a variety of different colours and lengths – the possibilities are endless. 

5. Pallet Herb Garden

A pallet herb garden is a perfect solution for small spaces. You can convert an old wooden pallet into separate sections and plant a variety of herbs within them. You could also write the name of the herbs onto mini pieces of slate, or why not get creative and make your own name tags using corks and a skewer.
