Patio pleasure

Summer time is here, it’s warm, balmy and finally time to get outside – According to real estate agent Oliver Lavers of RWDB.

” If you are looking to sell your home in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, remember out door room is often limited so it is vital to maximize your patio appeal, it is a great selling point for your home”. Here are some inspirational ideas to get the most out of your limited outdoor space:

Keep it Cosy

Everyone needs a solitary spot for sharing quiet conversation with a friend or kicking back with a good book. A few cushy chairs and a table for resting drinks and books is all that is required to create a purposeful patio. But, when you arrange those things in a lushly planted garden and add in a water feature, you’ll create a charmingly cosy nook that you’ll never want to leave.

Create Calm

Patios should be retreats that offer peaceful respite from hectic work weeks and family-tending days. Opt for neutral colour palettes, spare furniture arrangements, and plentiful plantings to fashion serene scenes that match your relaxing and entertaining needs. Keep it low-maintenance by selecting weather-proof furniture and fabrics and cultivating a garden from easy-care container plantings.

Step It Up

Elegant homes call for refined outdoor furnishings. Want to add some sparkle to your patio in a flash? Hang a gilded mirror on an exterior wall or fence that’s located near your patio. Paint wooden chairs with a decorative metallic finish. Or, turn beautiful outdoor fabrics into cushions and pillows to adorn chairs, chaises, and settees.
