The Dos and Don’ts of Creating the Perfect Patio

The patio is one of the most desirable additions to home especially in warmer climates like in the Middle East. It can be a good place to gather your peace of mind or to entertain your family and friends. Therefore, it should be designed in a special way just like the rest of your house.

Here are the dos and don’ts of creating a perfect patio

 Do: create seating groups

Just like in the interior space, the focus of any patio should be the seating. Even though most people try to incorporate as many seats as possible to accommodate more guests, it is good to take a different approach. Instead, try to arrange the seats in distinct groups that feel and look purposely set.

To make it look better, you should choose a focal point such a table or rug. Then, arrange the furniture in a way that each piece is facing the focal point.

Don’t: over accessorize

Most people complain that they feel their patio is always unfinished. One of the main reasons is that patio furniture is plainer than indoor furniture. This is because they are meant to withstand varying weather conditions. Luckily, the plainness of the patio can be solved by adding a few accessories. For instance, you can add a few throwaway pillows. For the biggest impact, you can try to choose brightly-coloured or patterned pillows.

Do: Extend the usage of the patio

Most people assume that the patio can only be used in favourable weather seasons. In most cases, the patios are rarely used when the weather turns colder or overly hot. However, it is possible to extend the length of your patio season with a little planning.

If you want to provide some shade, you can add a covering over the patio. On the other hand, if you would like to use the patio even in the colder seasons, consider adding a fireplace or another heat source.

Don’t: overlook dining options

When creating a perfect patio, it is good to add some dinning solutions.

This is a good way to open up entertaining options to your patio. Also, adding an outdoor kitchen to your home can significantly increase the resale value.

If you are planning to buy a villa in Dubai, it is good to check out on the top real estate brokers in Dubai. There are different types of villas for sale in Dubai which come with enough space to accommodate a patio. Alternatively, if you would like to live in the Jumeriah region, you can consider City Walk apartments for sale or the villas within the area.
