Having a patio space can be a game changer for entertainment and overall enjoyment of your home. 

In fact, 53% of Americans want a more functional and livable outdoor space. 

If you’ve been thinking about patio upgrades for quite some time now, here are a few ideas for you to consider. 

1. Create an Indoor Space 

When you think of a patio, you may think that it has to look as though it is outside on a patio. However, you can create a space that has an indoor feel to it outside on your patio.

To do this, you can add a floor coating as part of your patio upgrade. From there, you can add patio furniture that creates a comfortable seating situation for entertainment, reading a book, or just relaxing. 

Consider adding a firepit in the middle as well to make it even cozier.

2. Add an Outdoor Kitchen

If you want to create an entertainment space for your patio, then you can add an outdoor kitchen to your space.

Add a grill, a bar, and even a fridge to the space so that you can fully entertain outside without needing to go inside for food, utensils, or drinks!

3. Add Texture

If you want to spruce up your patio with an upgrade, consider adding texture to your space. 

Choosing to mix natural materials like wood, stone, and plants can create unique dimensions. But if you choose to mix the natural materials with man-made materials like glass and metal, you’ll create even more contrast on your patio. 

4. Optimize Technology

Nowadays, there are so many things you can do with technology to spruce up your patio.

For starters, you can use technology to figure out the floor plan and overall design that you want. But from there, you can also implement technology to your patio for optimal use. 

For instance, you can add an outdoor TV so that you can watch football and entertain on your patio.

5. Create a Focal Point

If you feel that your patio is missing something, it may be missing a focal point. This could mean whatever you want it to, but a few ideas would be a water fountain or a pool.

If you choose to do a pool, you’ll want to ensure that you are considering the overall shape of the pool and the size of it in comparison to the patio itself.
