7 Items Every Patio Needs

Sitting on the patio may be my favorite thing…. aside from shopping for it and decorating it! I have added links for some of these items or items that are similar to design. I hope you enjoy!

1) Furniture. Of course you have to start with some furniture! You want the area to feel welcoming and comfortable for your friends and family. I picked out a black wicker set for mine because it’s neutral and I can dress it however I want.

2) An outdoor Rug. This item is going to soften up the area and give it the cozy feel that we all want! I also went with something more neutral for the rug so we aren’t afraid to change the pillows and decor as the seasons change!

3) Throw pillows! I love all things neutral, simple, and within the cooler colors of the color wheel (this makes decorating for fall very hard for me!). I also love pairing pillows with different textures and patterns.

4) Candles! Not only can you keep bugs away with some great outdoor candles but they are also an easy way to create a calming environment. I normally stay with candles that are white, gray, black, or gold because they can be used in any season and it keeps everything flowing.

5) Plants. I absolutely love using plants everywhere…. however I’m not really the best at keeping them alive! So more than half of my plant are not real, just be careful when buying them because you don’t want them to look fake!

6) Coasters. Find some great outdoor coasters and toss them around on your patio tables! It adds a little extra design and people will use them. Marble coaster have always been my favorite.

7) Terrariums. A terrarium is such a fun item to add a little something different to your patio area. These are great eye catchers and allow you to show some more design and creativity in this space. Terrariums are also super easy to make if you decide you don’t want to spend a pretty penny on one!
