Transform your backyard patio into an outdoor living space. Start by converting your outdoor patio into a raised patio. You can easily build a raised patio over your concrete patio. Choose a kit or design it yourself from durable hardwood.

Now that you have the base, give it the finishing touches with a fire pit and decorations. A traditional fire pit provides plenty of warmth. However, a modern look can be achieved with a table with a fire element in the middle. Arrange your patio furniture around it and create an outdoor lounge area.

2. Create a cozy atmosphere

Just because you’re outside doesn’t mean you can’t create a cozy outdoor living space. Use the same elements and ideas as indoors to give your garden a cozy atmosphere. Divide the backyard into smaller usable spaces.

In the smaller area you can create an outdoor living room. Lay out an outdoor rug and place a coffee table in the center. Arrange patio furniture around the table to create plenty of seating. Place pillows on the furniture. Hang fairy lights overhead to create a soft glow. All of these ideas help make the space more inviting and cozy.

Add potted plants around the patio. Choose those that bloom to add natural color. Or you could have vines like this growing over your pergola, creating a canopy of flowers. Combine patio design ideas to create a custom ambience that reflects your style and taste.

Nautical lanterns are perfect for a coastal home to add decor and light. A hanging chair gives your patio an unconventional or whimsical feel. A pallet sofa with a cushion on it will give your patio a rustic look.

5. Poolside paradise

A pool in your garden is the perfect centerpiece for your garden terrace. Build your patio around your pool. Make it big enough to fit a lot of furniture on it. Place lounge chairs around the pool and add colorful cushions to give your yard the feel of an outdoor oasis.

Choose a decking material that is durable and safe for use in high humidity areas. Hardwood is a good choice because it is more suitable than softwood. Another good option is composite decking. It is durable, affordable, non-porous and non-slip.

8. Small deck, big impact

Just because you have a small garden or patio doesn’t mean you can’t do a lot with it. Decorating ideas for small patios are all about making the most of the space. Adjust the size of the furniture to the small patio. Instead of using a large sofa, stick with small accent chairs or even cafe chairs.

Forgo a large fire pit and get a freestanding stove to warm the room. Skip the pergola and install a shade sail or two. String lights might be too bright, so use string lights instead. Look for small patio decorating ideas that serve multiple purposes and offer more functionality.

9. The beauty of wood

Wood has a beautiful and classic look that will last for years if cared for properly. You can start with a floating deck as the base for your outdoor space. Then build a pergola over your head to block out harsh sunlight. It also provides a convenient frame for hanging lights and planters full of blooms.

Choose the right wood when building something out of wood that will be outdoors. After installation, maintain your deck regularly. This helps it last as long as possible. Clean it thoroughly once a year to remove mold, mildew and bacteria. Once dry, lightly sand and apply a sealer.

10. Outdoor Deck Oasis

When building your wood deck, consider adding different levels. This gives you more outdoor living space. Then you can try more than one patio idea in your garden. Set up an area that is at the same elevation as your home and has a few steps leading up to another usable area.

Consider the shape and topography of your garden. Then design your patio and decor to match. You can use beautiful vine plants with colorful flowers to create a natural privacy wall. Or hang fairy lights from a sturdy central pole above your head.
