Patios make it easy for homeowners to enjoy the great outdoors, whether during their alone time or when having fun with their loved ones. With a newly upgraded patio generating an ROI over 100%, it pays for homeowners to invest in their backyards. If you’re planning to spruce up your patio this spring, consider the following suggestions.

Add More Greenery

When bringing new life into their old patio, homeowners should consider adding more greenery. Lush plants, bright flowers, and beautifully patterned planters can completely transform any backyard into the patio of their dreams. Regardless of how big or large a patio may be, the right touch of greenery can re-energize any space.

Homeowners that like to host their friends and family members on their patio may benefit from cultivating a small herb garden. With fresh herbs at your fingertips, your patio will instantly become the go-to for drinks after dinner and backyard brunches.

Bring out New Seating

What are patios without ample seating options? When it comes to the best outdoor seating trends, consider using a mix of outdoor and indoor seating. This concept creates a modern aesthetic of old and new as it blurs the line between the indoor courtyard and outdoor patio. Search for furniture that’s durable, waterproof, and that fits in with the rest of the decor inside your home.

Don’t Forget the Lighting

No patio is complete without the proper lighting. If you plan to host gatherings at night, it’s important to make sure you have adequate lighting to do so. Popular choices include hanging string lights across the patio, setting up modern LED lanterns on tables, or installing ceiling lights for easy ambient lighting. As you pick the right lighting, remember to prioritize both safety and style to give your guests an all-around enjoyable experience.

Get Creative with Shade

Though homeowners that plan to use their patio predominantly at night may consider shade an afterthought, investing in creative shade ideas for the patio will boost your home’s ROI and make the space more enjoyable during the brightest days of the year. Though many homeowners opt to use awning for shade, there are many other options to keep in mind. Umbrellas, shade sails, palapas, hedges, and more are all unconventional ideas for shading to make your patio more enjoyable.
