Tips for Prepping Your Patio for Summer
#1 Refresh and Renew
Give your patio a fresh start by sweeping away winter debris and wiping down furniture. A good hosing down can remove any built-up dirt or pollen, leaving your space sparkling clean. For tougher grime on furniture, a gentle scrub with soapy water will do the trick. After you hose everything down, the bright Texas sun will dry all of your furniture in no time. While you're at it, take inventory of your patio furniture. Is anything looking worse for wear after a long winter? Consider replacing or repairing any damaged pieces to create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. Give your patio space a fresh start and get your space cleaned up for the summer season.
#2 Spruce Up with Summer Touches
Once your patio is clean, it's time to infuse it with some summer personality! Add a pop of color with vibrant throw pillows and cushions. Tropical patterns or citrusy hues instantly evoke a sense of summer fun. Layer in some colorful area rugs to define your space and add a touch of comfort underfoot. Don't forget the power of greenery! Hanging planters overflowing with trailing vines or potted plants with pops of color can transform your patio into a little slice of urban jungle. Adding in just a few touches will immediately brighten up your space and transform it into an oasis that you won’t want to leave.
#3 Create a Mood for Mingling
Summer nights are perfect for alfresco dining and gatherings with friends. Set the mood for memorable evenings with some thoughtful touches. String lights overhead twinkle with a warm glow as the sun sets, creating a magical ambiance. An outdoor speaker lets you set the soundtrack for your summer soirees, whether its upbeat tunes for a lively gathering or calming music for a relaxing evening under the stars. Adjusting the lighting and setting the mood with some music will take your patio space to the next level and you can spend all summer relaxing and enjoying the stunning views of the community and surrounding area.
