Exterior renovationsOriginal Patio Designs and Decors: 10 examples
Summer is approaching really fast and for many people, this is synonymous with starting to work on landscaping. If you have been looking for inspiration to design the ideal yard, this could be the year where your dreams finally come true.
While landscaping in your backyard is important, building and setting up a deck will be at the heart of your outdoor décor. For gatherings, family or simply to enjoy the sun, your deck deserves to be the star of your layout.
A wooden pergola, abundant vines, rock gardens: all of these elements will help you create the perfect warm and inviting dining area worthy of the flowery backyards of Tuscany. By adding a long wooden table, you will add the perfect rustic touch.

To change things up and explore new alternatives, leave square concrete slabs behind and opt for a shape that will stand out from the other slabs we often see. Be original and break the norms by opting for smooth, rounded shapes.
When we think of a patio, we often imagine a terrace that is adjacent to the house and that we access directly by going out through the back.

For avid readers or lovers of meditation and relaxation, a secluded corner that doubles as a peaceful haven could be an asset for your landscaping. Perfect for hot summer days, a plant-filled pergola for a source of shade and a comfortable outdoor sofa will ensure a perfect atmosphere. You and your guests will be able to enjoy relaxing moments.
You like bar patios. The only issue is that you are not a fan of spending time in a place that is noisy and full of people. No problem! You can easily become the number one destination in your circle of friends during the summer! If you are an avid mixology fan or a cocktail aficionado, take this opportunity to create a lounge atmosphere on your patio and complete it with a counter if you feel like you can take on this project.
