Updating the Back Yard Patio

If you are like me, you love spending time on your backyard patio. For my husband and I, it is a time to enjoy the outdoors whether it is just the two of us or entertaining family or friends. When we were looking at new homes two years, our goal was finding a home with a great backyard space to throw parties. We fulfilled our goal with this house we found. Suffice it to say, we love entertaining. We have had multiple Super Bowl parties, bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties, and Halloween parties.

We recently decided to update our backyard furniture. Our recent furniture set was getting old and not providing the kind of relaxing, entertaining, and enjoyable space that we were hoping. Finding the right kind of furniture and décor to create your outdoor oasis adds value to your home and your entertaining goals.. With endless options for design and function, a patio is a must-have for any homeowner looking to elevate their outdoor space.

We opted for a sectional this time for seating area. At first, I was not into a sectional but after my husband purchased the sectional and had it set up, I knew I wrong. Our sectional can seat 8-10 people depending on how you wanted to arrange the seating. So many possibilities!! This section from The Home Depot is similar to our sectional.

We also had a cute little conversation set that we purchased a few years ago. It fits perfectly on the side of our patio. This is a great starter piece for your backyard patio or even your front yard patio. These conversation sets are a great to create a feel of coziness and intimacy. There a variety of styles and colors to choose from. This set will make you want to spend all your time outdoors.

Don’t forget the outdoor rug. A rug will really tie your outdoor furniture together. There are so many colors, sizes, and designs to choose from that will perfect the ambience you are wanting. Here are three rugs that I found that could brighten up your patio. Outdoor patio rugs are a perfect way to add charm and a stylish touch to any patio area. These rugs can be used to accentuate a particular theme or color scheme, or can be used to create a visual break in an otherwise monotonous patio surface. They provide a comfortable and inviting feel to any outdoor space, allowing you to relax and unwind in your own backyard. Not to mention, they are functional and durable in their design, able to withstand a variety of weather conditions.

We also purchased a new outdoor table. Our older one was made out of wood and had seen better days. We opted for a table top that is sturdy and good looking. We love our table. Find a table that will last through rain, snow, wind, etc. We had 6 wicker chairs from a previous table that we did not purchase chairs at the time but there are sets that you can get both the table and chairs. A backyard patio is not complete with a outdoor dining table. Eating dinner under the stars is such a memorable experience. Also, do not forget your umbrella to shield your meals from the strong rays of the sun.

We also added a bench with storage to add to our seating. These are a few cute bench that can also store games, lounge pillows, or outdoor toys. Functionality is so important especially if you have a small patio. These benches come in a variety of styles and with or without cushions.

Which ever type of furniture you you get, remember to enjoy your patio. Spending time with your friends and family outdoors is the best part about summer.
