Sprucing Up Your Patio for Summer

 

It’s that time of year again!  Time to head outside and enjoy the sunshine with friends and family.  But before you plan that cookout, we have some tips on how to spruce up your patio area and make it a true summer sanctuary! 

 

# 1 Use Outdoor Sculptures

Teal Perfect Moment Flat Base Sculpture

Decorating your patio with garden sculptures is a great way to liven up your outdoor space for the summer months.  If you have a larger patio, a large outdoor sculpture is an ideal statement piece and adds a pop of color to your space.  Choose a small garden sculpture for smaller patios, so as to not overwhelm the space.  Yard art sculptures are available in a variety of styles.  Here at Statements2000, we specialize in metal art sculptures in modern and abstract design styles. 

Red Allure Sculpture

If you don’t have space for a freestanding sculpture, metal wall sculptures are another way to spruce up your patio.  3D wall sculptures are great accent pieces and can be easily mounted on your patio wall.  Metal wall art sculptures add dimension and texture to your design space and you can find a piece that fits your modern home décor here at Statements2000.

# 2 Comfortable Seating

A comfortable sitting area is key to decorating your patio for the summer.  In addition to making your patio more inviting, comfortable seating is functional home décor.  Your guests will want to stay longer if they are comfortable.  Wicker and teak furniture looks stunning and is ideal for outdoor use.  It’s also easy to change out seat cushions for a fresh, new look.

It’s always a good idea to consider the sun’s location in relation to your outside seating area.  If it’s too bright, consider adding a retractable shade.  When it’s too dark, try some outdoor lighting such as string lights or hanging lanterns. 

# 3 Silver Wall Art

# 4 Potted Plants

Potted plants are a simple, yet effective way to ready your patio for entertaining this summer.  Potted plants make your patio more appealing and you can get creative and mix and match different sizes, shapes, and colors of planters.  Succulent plants are easy to care for and don’t require much watering, making them the perfect addition to your patio décor. 

# 5 Tie It All Together with Accessories

Use accessories to tie your look together—such as a coordinated outdoor area rug, or seat cushions with colors that complement your new patio décor.  Choose a graphic pattern or color scheme that accentuates your choice of outdoor sculptures, decorative wall art, and furniture.  Colors aren’t required to match—sometimes choosing contrasting colors has a more dramatic effect on your décor, so go wild with your color choices!

Now that you know how making some minor changes can make your patio an outdoor oasis this summer, it’s time to start decorating.  Statements2000.com is your first stop for all your outdoor metal art!
