Imagine the sound of the birds and a simple water feature, the smell of fresh flowers, and the feel of a beautiful summer breeze. Having a beautiful outdoor space that you enjoy spending time in is the best way to relax and unwind after a long day or spend time with family and friends. With summer in full swing, our expert designers at Executive Furniture Rentals are sharing the best backyard ideas for patio season!

Whether you’re working with a large outdoor space or a modest backyard with little nooks, adopting some of these key details for your own space can inspire you to create the patio of your dreams this season.

1. Create An Area for Conversation 

First things first, you’ll need to carve out a seating or conversation area on your patio. This area will consist of some carefully thought-out furniture including seating, an outdoor area rug, and some summer-friendly decor. Some ideas include a love seat or outdoor rattan sectional, some accent chairs, and a coffee table. 

Using an outdoor area rug to anchor the seating area is also a great idea. Try to position this seating area where there’s some shade or cover to create the perfect conversational nook or area for dining. 

2. Contrast with Complimentary Colours

We often assure our customers that they don’t need to use matching furniture sets to accessorize their outdoor space! Use complementary furniture in a neutral tone and add some throw pillows and blankets in the same colour palette to tie all the furniture and space together.

3. The Rule of 3s

When accessorizing decor, follow the simple rule of threes. An example would be filling an empty corner with three plant pots of different sizes in a layered look, as well as using a tray with some florals, a book, and a candle to add a special touch atop your outdoor coffee table.

4. Add Accessories

When designing or choosing the furniture for your patio, consider your wishlist and needs for you and your family. For example, if the kids will be spending a lot of time playing outdoors consider a covered area for all weather conditions as well as seating for you to sit and lounge while supervising. 

Other additions to consider are adding planters, a hammock or swing, a simple water feature, a small bar or drink cart, as well as some stepping stones or a garden path made with stones and/or gravel.
