Patio

For some of us the colder winters are drawing in but for those in warmer climes this might be the perfect time to organise your outdoor space. This patio uses a warm terracotta colour and ensures that a variety of tones and textures are used throughout with a dash of white. 

Add hardy plants which suit their positioning and require little attention although try not to drown the area with plants - choose carefully - less is more here!

If your local weather conditions include much rain then change the roof cover to a solid, waterproof material - ensuring you can relax outdoors in most weather conditions without getting wet. Consider the amount of overhang you would require - a larger overhang gives more coverage to the space beneath it.

A beautiful space! Wouldn't you agree?

Patio

Just looking at this patio makes me feel calm. Sitting there on a lovely evening as the sun goes down with a nice glass of wine. Great.
The columns help to keep back the heat of the sun. The flora brings the garden closer to the house and the tiles help to keep the area cool and clean.
One thing to note: Please avoid using plastic plant pots. They don't add anything positive to the ambience.
