Four Designs for Small Patios

Do you have big patio dreams but a small space? In the span of a weekend, you can transform your outdoor space with one of the four designs for small patios presented in this Lowe’s video:

If you have started downsizing or moving closer to cities to lessen their commute, your square footage is shrinking, but you don’t have to sacrifice style in the process. Get inspiration from the four patio designs below:

1. A bistro set provides comfortable seating as well as a place to dine alfresco when the weather’s nice. Tropical throw pillows, a coral stripe rug and plants in matching pots liven up the patio. Cozy Edison bulb string lights overhead take advantage of the enclosed space.

2. Natural materials are back and bigget than ever. Oval all-weather wicker chairs with matching steel end tables offer a styish conversation set. And you don’t have to sacrifice greenery because of a small footprint; by adding lattice and a privacy wall, you can hang potted herbs, plants, or even climbing roses.

3. A little gray goes a long way. Modern woven gray chairs are cheerfully complemented with a seafoam green end table. Throw pillows, a blue rug, and sago palms make for an inviting front porch. Metal gooseneck sconces replace builder-grade lights for an updated look.

4. Black and white all-weather bistro chairs are Parisian chic. A gray and natural colored steel table hold snacks and cocktails. A Moroccan rug and potted plants transform a boring balcony into a welcome respite.
