A space that used to be the center of family get-togethers now looks dull and uninviting. This is how you know your patio needs a little bit of TLC (tender loving care). And doing so doesn’t have to take much out of your wallet either.
To help, we’ve gathered some patio renovation ideas to help you refresh your space. Read on to find out what they are:
-

Also, consider switching out some of your floorings to wood flooring. This can change the whole mood of your patio.
-

Add a Plant Wall

-
Functional Furniture
If your family will be spending lots of time outside then it’s time to start thinking about useful furniture. Look for benches or outdoor ottomans that offer storage for your things as well.
