If you want to transform your patio or porch into your favorite hangout space, we have tips and tricks to help you maximize every square inch. Here are some practical and easy ways to make your outdoor area the highlight of your home while keeping it functional throughout the year.
Extend Your Living Space With an Enclosure
Turn your outdoor section into a cozy retreat whenever you want it. Custom enclosures allow you to enjoy outdoor relaxation year-round. Enclose your patio, decks or porches and maximize your living space while adding extra privacy from neighbors and protection from pests.
Install Patio Shades or Screens
Maximize your exterior living space with patio screens that offer the shade you need to relax outdoors — even during summer. Texas can get a lot of sunshine, and these shading solutions are perfect add-ons to beat the heat.
Even better, you can transform your outdoor patio space with just a click of a button. Install motorized shades or screens to control the shading and privacy using your remote, smartphone or tablet.
Choose Stylish, Multifunctional Accent Pieces
Pick furniture items that can serve double duty at any time of the day. Add a coffee table that you can also use to play board games on the patio. Multifunctional storage benches are nice additions, too, offering seating and storage in one. Think indoors when styling your outdoor space to make it feel like an extension of your home.
Pick Colors You Love
If you have a small outdoor space, you may prefer to keep your color palette neutral. Play with white textiles or natural tones for your furniture. While minimalist styles and muted tones are perfect for the outdoors, don’t be afraid to add a pop of color. Bring your patio or garden to life by adding an accent piece with bold hues.
Warm up the Night With Mood Lighting
Adding the right lighting is a great way to transform your patio or porch into a beautiful sanctuary when the sun goes down. Hang string lights or use portable lanterns for a warm glow and soothing ambience during alfresco dinners and evenings with friends.
