This morning, I just woke up and wanted to get fresh air, so I went outside and stood on my patio. After a minute, I just realized that my patio is tiny.
I feel like a giant standing there. I think my patio needs some decoration. It was too empty and lonely. My friend or my guest will be bored standing here.
But, I have no Idea what I should put there. Should I put a shrub? Flowers or some greenery? Hm, I need small patio ideas for inspiration.
So, I started to explore on the internet and finally, I found this blog Better Homes & Gardens. There are 20+ small patio ideas I can pick up.
But, I’ll summarize it and share the ideas with you. Perhaps, you also want to level up your small patio, check this out:
Small Patio Ideas
Our tiny patio can be stylish and functional, if we can choose the right design exterior and decorative.
This blog, explain what we have to do, so just grab your note, choose your favourite, and start to stylish your patio:Â
- Buy Outdoor RugÂ
This is a very simple way to set the small patio which is empty. Start with the outdoor Rug, choose a rectangular Rug and put it on the center of your patio.
With this Rug, your small patio will look large. What else? Of course a coffee table, put above the rug. Put the chairs between the coffee table, then, try to check the wall.
If the wall looks empty too, you can add decoration there. For me, a starburst mirror will make the patio look glamorous.
Tip: to create the large effect of your tiny patio wall, you can choose two exterior paint colors, like white and grey. Also vinyl as flooring and some greenery.
- Rustic Small PatioÂ
Sometimes, I just want to kill time by relaxing and sitting on the rocking chair. Drink my favourite milkshake and enjoy seasonal blooms.
What if I set my small patio like what I want? You also can create something similar. Just need to put the white rocking chairs and several planters and flowers.
This is how to decorate your tiny patio, without too much stuff and you can enjoy and feel comfortable when you are alone.
Tip: Put the planter and flowers around, so you can very enjoy seasonal blooms.
- Tiny Patio Furniture Set
The next is to put a furniture set on your tiny patio. This is a simple way for you who doesn’t have time to decorating or styling your patio.
If you don’t like flowers too much, then you can put some greenery around. Make sure that this style suits the exterior paint color.
For example, if your exterior paint is black and white, then you can put a rattan furniture set, including a small table and chairs. Put cushions there to make it completely cute and comfortable.
- A Colorful Small Patio
If your home is near a beach or lake and you have a small patio that is still empty, let’s make a colorful small patio.
What you have to do is put some furniture there, with some greenery like Pygmy Date Palm. Add also a rectangular rug to make it more contrast.
Tip: Keep all the colors coordinated, like matching the rug, sofa, and cushions. You also can add some greenery to create a calming vibe.
- Small Patio with a Fire Pit
Looking for a small patio idea that’s a bit different? Try to create a tiny patio with fire. This setup is perfect, especially if you live in an area with cold temperatures.
This set is also good to create sweet memories, with your partner or your family. You can chit chat while drinking some coffee or tea. If you are with your kids, you’ll enjoy toasting marshmallows.
Tip: You have to think about how to create a fire pit that is safe for everyone. If you don’t have much time to create it, you can find a fire pit portable on an online store.Â
- Blue Small Patio
Sounds like this decoration idea is for blue lovers, you do not always need to buy something blue. Why don’t you create a blue space in your small patio.
For suggestions, the bright blue is the proper exterior paint wall to create this style. Make sure you also put a small pattern rug, cushion, and some planters.
Tip: it will be more sweet, when you add some flowery green. The colors of flowers will contrast with the bright blue.
- Create a Cozy and Private Room
Even if you just have a small patio in your home, it’s not impossible to make it cozy and private. Maybe this style needs a special budget, but you also can do it yourself.
If you already have furniture set there, but you think there is empty space to decorate, you can do this. Buy an affordable pergola and put curtains there.
You can add lighting too to look stunning at night. These ideas not only level up your tiny patio, but also make it cozy, romantic, and private.
