Decide how you want to use the patio. Is the patio mainly for alfresco dining or sunbathing or relaxing with a book or all three? The intended use will dictate the size and location of the patio. A patio mainly for dining is best placed where there is some shade so that diners can keep cool on warmer days and seek the sun when the weather is cooler. A patio intended mainly for sunbathing needs to be in a spot where it's sunny all day. If you want young children to safely use the patio, it needs to be somewhere you can see them from the house.
Outdoor furniture is available in several kinds to meet your taste and budget. Casual patio furniture is made from materials, such as wicker, rattan, plastic, or aluminum. While choosing the patio designs it is advisable to consider the type of outdoor area, you want to decorate. In case you live in a location that is prone to extreme climatic conditions, then buying aluminum or plastic furniture will be durable and comfortable without costing too much money. Attractive patio designs in various styles and colors are available for homeowners to choose for decorating their outdoor space. Although, all homeowners would love to have the best patio furniture, it is advisable to be aware of the suitability of the furniture to your weather conditions. Additionally, the outdoor furniture requires maintenance and therefore it is important to choose patio designs that are simple to maintain and do not too much time and money to be spent of its maintenance.
Another very important point of consideration in any patio design is where to place your patio. Patios really can go anywhere in the garden and more and more people are moving away from the traditional positioning of a patio, which is usually adjoining your house. Consider sunlight. Will the position you have chosen for your patio get the sun? Does that position get a breeze compared to other parts of your garden? Will you have to cross wet grass to get to your patio? Will your patio position be overlooked by your neighbours? Finally, how far is your patio from the kitchen if you intend to carry food and drinks to it? Make sure all these points are considered before choosing a location.
