Ideas for Decorating Patios and Gardens

This is a space where we should disconnect, relax, and have fun. It should be a pleasure to be in our courtyards or gardens and that is easy to achieve. It can be a more enjoyable place if we create a living area. We will be able to relax outdoors and meet with friends and family while enjoying nature. Or even have our own garden and harvest your favorite vegetables, fresh and ready to bring to your table!  

To begin with, it is key to understand that a good design for this area of the home does not require very expensive or flashy objects or materials. You just need to know how to locate those elements that bring comfort and pleasure and define routines that keep it nice and tidy.

1. Exterior lighting

By definition, this area already has the necessary light during the day but will need help when it gets dark. Adding lighting will allow you to make the most of this space, but it is important to choose the right one according to the atmosphere you want to create: romantic, ideal to be among friends, or ready for a party. A recommendation can be the yellow lights, which always enhance colors and give a sense of intimacy. In general, they are ideal for exteriors and social gatherings.
