Here we go,

Step 1: What’s the Location?

The first step is to pick the right spot. It is more like choosing a perfect picnic spot in a park. You would want a place that has sunlight but not too much and should be serene but not hidden from anyone.

You can also choose a place depending on whether you want to enjoy a cuppa with the refreshing morning sun or enjoy the sunset with your mates in the evening. Notice the location of the sun for both times and choose the one that fulfils your purpose of owning a dazzling patio. And that’s how, mate, you will choose a perfect, comfy space in your yard.

Here’s a Smart Move: If you have a shady tree nearby, make the most of it.

Step 2: Destination Awaits

Your second step is all about imagining how you want your patio to look and feel. Do you want it to look like a tropical escape or a mini holiday resort, a coastal beach type or classic? Once you have figured out the theme and feel, you can start working on the colours and textures, you’ll need to finish the complete look.

Maybe soft blues, whites or earthy shades for that beachy look. You can also choose olive green or terracotta to add Mediterranean warmth to your patio. To further uplift the vibe, add native plants of Australia, such as kangaroo paw or bottlebrush.

1.. 2.. 3.. vibe check – your patio should perfectly highlight your personality openly to all of your family and friends.

Step 3: Choose the Right Flooring

Well, this step is the crucial part, one wrong move and your dream patio will stay a dream! Flooring is the foundation of any space; therefore, it should be visually appealing, feel good and stay in mint condition for years. The flooring material must be able to handle hot summers, pouring rain and frosty winters. We have mentioned some of the best patio flooring options for you to consider:

Concrete

It’s a classic and for a good reason. It’s strong, inexpensive and can be styled in different ways, be it smooth, textured or even in various colours. It is best suited for a modern and industrial look.

Brick

No modern design or pattern can beat the charm of these old-school bricks. A patio made of bricks will look rustic and give a timeless Aussie backyard vibe. You can lay them in various patterns like brick bond, herringbone or basket weave for that extra charm.

Porcelain Tiles

These tiles are sturdy, resilient and weatherproof. You can explore their endless designs on the market. Trust us, you’ll find them even in wooden or stone look styles. The best part, these are extremely easy to clean.

Travertine Pavers

Travertine is a natural stone that offers timeless elegance, creating a relaxing vibe. And when you choose Silver Travertine Pavers, you will find them to be cool to touch even on a sweltering day. You can pair this beautiful stone with lush greenery and colourful flowers to enhance the look of your patio.

Smart Move: Choose the one which works best for you in terms of style, budget and weather.

Step 4: Perfect Furniture

Since your floor is ready, the next step is to choose the perfect furniture. You should choose seating which not only looks beautiful but is also comfortable to sit on. Further, you can add cushions, cosy lounges, and go the extra mile with a hammock. Don’t forget to add a small table to keep your snacks and drinks! Also, choose a furniture material which can handle harsh weather easily, such as treated timber, aluminium, or rattan.

Step 5: Privacy Screening

The final step depends on whether you want privacy or not! Of course, you won’t like people peeking in while you are trying to enjoy a cold tinnie or doing yoga. You can use a green privacy screen, bamboo screens or even climbing plants on a trellis. You don’t have to compromise on your view with these creative, greenery-filled ideas. Win-win!

Quick Tip: Hang some fairy lights, string lights or place some lamps nearby for a little sparkle at night.
