How To Add Value To Your Patio: 10 Tips to Make It More Interesting
What Is The Patio? (Patio Design)
A patio is a paved outdoor area that is used for various purposes. It can be used as a walkway, as an outdoor eating or sitting space, or even as a garden. There are many different shapes and sizes of patios, meaning there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you want to make your patio the focal point of your home or just a place to sit back and relax, here are ten tips to get you started on designing it the way you want it.
1. Think about your space
It’s important to think about your space, and how you want it to look before you even start on the design process. If you don’t have enough room for a full-sized patio, or if it’s in an awkward location, it could be an obstacle that takes away from the overall look of the area. In this case, consider using a smaller patio that fits your needs and doesn’t take away from the look of the rest of your house or garden.
2. Decorating ideas
If you want to make your patio more interesting, there are plenty of ways that you can do this without getting into too much trouble! First off, if there is an area that is usually dark, add some lighting by adding a light fixture or using some hanging lights near it. Another great idea is adding flowers to the area as well as putting plants around it for additional interest. If there is a certain color you like, consider adding accents in that color to make the area more interesting.
3. Lighting
Another great way to add interest to your patio is by lighting it up with some outdoor lighting. There are plenty of options for this, from hanging lights and lanterns to light fixtures that can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Just make sure that you choose something that fits in with your overall design and style!
4. Add seating
One of the most important things about a patio is making sure that you have enough seating! If there isn’t enough seating for everyone who comes over, they will probably end up sitting on the ground or on a bench instead of enjoying the scenery in front of them! To get around this problem, consider getting a few extra chairs or benches so that you always have someone available to sit down and relax. You can also try adding small tables around the area if they are big enough to fit one side of it!
5. Add plants
There are a few different ways that you can add plants to your patio. First, you can use trees, bushes and flowers around the area so that it looks nice and inviting. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the garden, consider adding a few potted plants on the ground or near the wall so they don’t get too much sun! You can also add small pots on the table or bench if they are large enough so that people will have somewhere to put their drinks when they are sitting down!
6. Add furniture
Another great way to make your patio look more interesting is by adding furniture! You can also add outdoor furniture like lounge chairs and tables for people to sit on in order for them to enjoy their time outside! Just make sure that everything fits in with your overall design and style so that it doesn’t look like you were trying to make it look fancy!
7. Add a few accessories
You can also add a few accessories around the patio such as lanterns, lamps, and lighting to make the area look more inviting. You can also add outdoor rugs or mats so that people won’t slip when they walk on the patio!
8. Use plants as décor
If you have plants around your patio, you can also use them as décor! You can use them as wall décor by hanging them up or even putting them in planters! You can also use plant pots and vases on tables and benches to add some color.
9. Add A Swing (What Is A Patio Swing?)
A patio swing is a piece of furniture that you can use for sitting, gardening, or relaxing. It’s typically made from metal on the frame and can be found in various colors. Depending on the design, you may find a stool or bench near the swing to make it more comfortable. There are some designs that also incorporate a shade to create a cool place to sit out in the sun. They are perfect for patios, backyards, and gardens. Here’s how to make your own patio swings.
10. Add A Fire Sense Patio Heater
If you’re looking for a way to make your outdoor space more comfortable this winter, consider installing an outdoor patio heater. These fire sense patio heaters offer a convenient and affordable way to stay warm during the winter months. You can buy these heaters from many different retailers and online shops. Each model has a unique design that includes either sleek modern designs or rustic wood-carved creations. If you’re unsure of what type of design you like best, try visiting a few different stores before making your purchase.

Built in 1958, a San Francisco Midcentury Modern Hits Market for the First Time
Open Homes Photography
San Francisco is known for its postcard-perfect “Painted Ladies,” those colorful Victorians with ornate facades. But there’s actually a wild melange of housing styles packed within its 49 square miles. And it is possible to find a midcentury modern gem if you sift through the housing stock.
On one of the highest peaks in the city, we’ve spotted one of these midcentury marvels. It’s on the market for the first time since it was built in the late 1950s, and the custom-designed residence is now available for $6 million.
Commissioned by the family that has lived in the home since 1958, it was built in a San Francisco that’s just a faint memory today.
“There were few homes on Clarendon Heights at the time,” says the listing agent, Dona Crowder with Coldwell Banker, who also lives in the neighborhood.
She notes that utilities for the street didn’t go up until the 1930s. The centrally located hillside features about 100 houses and dead-end streets, and is surrounded by nature.
Each home built in the area is the reflection of an owner’s personal vision and the vision of the architect hired to execute on that vision.
The modernist firm Campbell and Wong came up with an ingenious way to accommodate the steep slope of this lot close to Twin Peaks.

The two-car garage was built street side, with the canopied and terraced entrance leading into a large center courtyard. The residence was placed at the rear of the downhill slope and features six bedrooms and 3.5 baths on three floors.
The front door opens to the middle level of the home, with a wall of windows that look out to jaw-dropping views of the city.
On the main level, the high-ceilings of the living and dining rooms include an original slatted-wood room divider. It can slide closed to define the spaces and also serves as an architectural feature.
One floor up are the three family bedrooms, with a private deck that overlooks the garden courtyard. The bedrooms contain pocket doors that can be opened so all three rooms can be combined to make one large space.
On the opposite side of the floor, a large double bedroom, walk-in closet, and en suite bath with an attached balcony serves as the main bedroom wing, with the second room used as an office, home gym, or sitting area.
Downstairs, the bottom level features a rumpus room and a guest suite with its own set of unique views.
The home, perched above the city, feels as if “you’re in your own resort,” according to Crowder.
At the same time, she says, you feel that you’re in the city. The location is within walking distance to Cole Valley shops and restaurants, and equally close to Tower Market and the shops of Diamond Heights.
It’s also a relatively easy commute to downtown or Silicon Valley, and a plenty nice place to set up a home office with views of the whole Bay Area.
“It’s kind of an inspired design,” Crowder says.
The idyllic home’s interiors rated publication in the 1961 House & Garden “Book of Building.” The mechanical systems—wiring, heating, and plumbing—have been updated along with the kitchen appliances, but other than that, the home looks as it did 60 years ago.
“It’s very original, which is what is so appealing about it,” she says. “It’s a collector’s piece.”
