If you are a happy owner of a patio, even a small one, this is great – it will be your outdoor oasis! Most homeowners find designing and decorating a small patio rather tricky but don’t worry, you can do it! We are here to help you with some tips and ideas to make your small or even tiny patio the best place in the world.

Styles And Colors

Decide what décor style you like most of all and stick to it; many homeowners prefer to rock something more relaxed and neutral for outdoors like farmhouse, modern casual or Scandinavian but of course you can choose whatever you like: vintage, shabby chic, minimalist or any other. If your patio is really small, prefer some minimal styles – minimalist, contemporary, modern as they won’t clutter your already small space. Choose your color scheme according to the style but keep in mind that small spaces look better in neutrals and pastels as light colors make them look bigger.

Furniture And Décor

Furniture in a small patio should be functional: think if you can make a storage sofa or a bench with storage and incorporate some more solutions like that. Stick to the style and color scheme you’ve chosen and go for some proper décor to make your space cooler: rugs, pillows, various blankets and candle lanterns. String lights over the space will save some floor space and add coziness. Get inspired!
