Do you have a boring patio? When you look at your patio or deck furniture do you think to yourself, “Wow, this furniture is ugly“. Do you think that your friends and family look at your furniture and wince? Does your furniture resemble a style that was “in” when disco was popular? Ace-Robbins, specialists of patio furniture Wilkes-Barre PA, share some great ideas on what you can do make your patio look inviting again.
It doesn’t matter if you want to spend time with your family or entertain guests with your barbecue grill on the weekend, the following are five patio ideas that will make your patio space enjoyable again. Hopefully, these affordable patio ideas can make it look and feel exciting again.
You can’t really enjoy your patio if it has irritating pests. Don’t make it easy for your pests by putting mulch around your patio. This just gives them more chances to spread it all over your patio. Try using pine cones instead.
Pests won’t be able to dig in mulch and run around on your patio if they are met with spiky pine cones. Also, pine cones make soil acidic, and this is food for plants such as azaleas and rhododendrons. In addition, pine cones decompose at a slow rate. This means that you won’t have to keep putting new pine cones in the area, and this saves time. The good thing is that pine cones are free in most parts of the country.
Make your patio beautiful again with a can of colorful spray paint. Use a vibrant color and paint a bold pattern on your patio. You can easily transform your patio for the better with a can of paint and pattern stamps.
The goal is to choose a design that makes your patio space beautiful and inviting. If you are a creative person, pick a carpet print and try to imitate it. Even if you aren’t the creative type, just applying a different stain will make your patio look much better.
There’s nothing like enjoying the sunshine on your patio while sipping on your favorite frozen drink. However, you can’t do this if the patio furniture is rusty and worn. Unfortunately, you don’t have money in the budget to purchase a whole new set of patio furniture. But don’t throw away your rusty furniture. Just get rid of the rust.
There are plenty of ways to get rid of rust. If there is just a small amount of rust, all you have to do is scape away the rusty areas. This can be done by using sandpaper, wool or a wire brush. You’ll also need a lot of patience and elbow grease. Opt for a wire brush drill if you want an easier way to get the job done.
If the furniture is extremely rusty, apply vinegar to the areas as well. You could also try using chemical rust converters such as Rust Oleum. These types of chemicals transform rust, which helps make the furniture last much longer. Just treat the rusty area, and your furniture should look as good as new. Thus, you can expect to spend more days in the sun.
How can you enjoy your patio if rubbish is scattered everywhere? Get rid of the trash and create better storage options. It’s just as important to organize your outdoor space as it is your indoor space. Get serious and organize your patio space. Declutter and make the space feel more open, beautiful and inviting.
Yes, there is one idea in particular that can really organize your outdoor space, and it is an inexpensive option as well. Just purchase a few wooden crates and spray paint them to compliment the patio furniture. Once they are painted, seal them so that they are not only beautiful but also weatherproof. Also, glue the crates together and add wheels on the bottom. It’s up to you to get the look and feel that you want for your patio. Try giving it a comfortable and rustic feel, but make sure that it has plenty of storage.
Build a fire pit that is a showstopper. A small fire pit can provide a focal point and also keep you warm on those chilly mornings and nights. It is a great way to make your space beautiful and functional.
Also understand that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make your patio inviting and comfortable. Look around for great plans that allow you to build your own fire pit. Find one that can be built with heat resistant pavers or fire bricks. They cost about $5.00 per paver. Put a few of these in a little circle on a slab of stone, and you will have an eye catching fire pit. Make sure that fire proof materials are used and all fire regulations are followed. Also, don’t forget the marshmallows.
You can make your patio look great and inviting by following these simple patio ideas. Sometimes, just changing the lighting or adding propane patio heaters can make a huge difference. Many people have been surprised at what their patio looks like once they add something like propane patio torches or they just change out the original patio furniture. You would be surprised at what that alone will do for your patio’s appearance.
