With more of us spending time outside in our gardens, there is an opportunity and increased design to transform the space into our dream garden. Whether that’s building a conservatory, or installing a new patio or changing your patio doors to open up the space.
There are numerous options when you’re looking to redesign the space into something truly tranquil and aesthetically pleasing. You want a space that you can enjoy all summer and spend as much time as possible in.
How can you transform your patio space?
A garden patio makes for a wonderful and welcoming outdoor space that can be used throughout the summer and beyond.
Patio or paved/ gravel gardens require little maintenance and are often the preferred choice for homeowners.
To help brighten up your garden space this year, take a look at our 7 inspirational patio design ideas to help kickstart your next garden redesign project.
1) Adding personality with patterns
Patterns are not just for our indoor spaces! You can use patterned tiles for your garden patio; this can create a splendid design that is attractive to the eye. There are some types of porcelain tile that are suitable for outdoor use. Patterned porcelain tiles are a great way to add a little colour and uniqueness to your garden patio.
Patterned tiles add a great decorative touch to the dining area of your patio and garden space, plus many are weather-resistant too!
2) Make your patio an extension of your indoor space
Feeling a little creative? Flip the idea of a garden patio on its head and create a garden that looks nothing like your traditional patio garden.
By adding new patio doors that you roll back from your dining/ living room or kitchen, you can increase space with a seamless adjoining space for you to enjoy al fresco dining. Perfect for this current climate! When also adding (or moving) a table and chairs outside you can happily (and easily) enjoy meals outside with family or friends.
3) Creating different zones within your garden
One way to redesign your garden space is by creating a multi-zoned space by using different materials to create separate sections. This gives a clear distinction between the different areas; for example, you can have decking as designated space for socialising, or a tiled patio to indicate a chillout zone, and an astroturf lawn for fun activities and games.
4) Surround tiles with gravel for an organic feel
If you’re looking to create a very organic aesthetic feel in your outdoor space, you can try the free-form approach of laying tiles directly onto gravel, grass or sand to create a softer feel in the layout.
Garden tiles are relatively low maintenance, requiring only a seasonal clean to keep them looking their best.
5) Create a seamless flow
There are a few different ways that you can create a seamless flow from your house to your garden, one of our favourites is through blurring the boundaries by using similar flooring or matching the materials or furniture.
By keeping the floors a light grey or concrete finish you can allow your patio to feel like an extension of your home. To finish off this look, pair the flooring with contemporary garden furniture.
6) Create a focal point with a warming fire pit or chiminea
Fire pits and chimineas are a MUST HAVE in your garden right now. They are incredibly popular, and it’s really not difficult to see why. Outdoor fire pits and chimineas add a cosy aesthetic to your garden space, allowing you to stay outside for longer and enjoy the evening fully.
No matter how big or small your patio is, adding a fire pit or chiminea is a great way to create a focal point. A warming fire transforms your garden patio into an inviting place to relax and hang out. The perfect place to spend downtime in those summer evenings!
7) Elevate the dining area
Our last inspirational point for helping transform your garden is by adding a raised patio. This immediately sets it apart from the rest of your garden, and creates a very natural space to socialise. In the elevated dining area, you can add suitable garden furniture and comfortable seating to relax in.
