If you're lucky enough to own a house with a patio, you may be wondering how to use the extra space better. Here is an inspiring idea for patio design.
Courtyard design – use limited space in the best way
Before starting the design of the courtyard, clear planning is required. Measure the available space accurately and create a sketch. The function of the courtyard also plays an important role. Often there is not enough room for a full garden, but that does not mean you have to give up greenery. A planted wall, ground-cover plants, or potted plants are popular space-saving alternatives. When choosing plants, pay close attention to how and when the sun reaches the courtyard. Neighboring houses, or even your own home, may cast shade over the area. A professional gardener can help you choose suitable plant species. The second important issue is the flooring: if an outdoor kitchen is planned, a stable base of pavers or wood should be installed.
Patio Design – privacy, decoration and lighting
Privacy is also important in the design of the courtyard, but do not overdo privacy screens. Otherwise, the area can become dark and gray, especially at the height of summer. Warm color accents bring freshness to the courtyard, and good lighting creates a pleasant mood at night. All that remains is to add a comfortable outdoor kitchen and dining area, and nothing will stand in the way of summer in the garden.
