Even if your patio is small, you are lucky as you already have your private outdoor space. Though you may find designing such a space quite tricky as it’s small, you can do it in a very functional and stylish way, and I’ve gathered some amazing ideas to prove that to you!
The first thing you need to decide is what’s the purpose of your patio. It can be turned into anything: an outdoor dining space, a mini living room or an outdoor bedroom, a sitting space, a reading nook, an outdoor bar or any other nook you want. As soon as you find out what you want, you can decide on
Small Patio Styles And Colors
Decide what décor style you like most of all and stick to it; many homeowners prefer to rock something more relaxed and neutral for outdoors like farmhouse, modern casual or Scandinavian but of course you can choose whatever you like: vintage, shabby chic, minimalist or any other. If your patio is really small, prefer some minimal styles – minimalist, contemporary, modern as they won’t clutter your already small space. Choose your color scheme according to the style but keep in mind that small spaces look better in neutrals and pastels as light colors make them look bigger.
