Spring is the perfect time to invest in a patio project in preparation for those warmer spring days. Your patio should be the perfect spot for lounging with friends and family, grilling, and enjoying a good book or podcast at the end of a long day. You can make it so with attractive materials, a goal, and a little creative flair. Barron Designs offers spring patio decor that can turn your little backyard patio into a stunning masterpiece. Start your upgrade with these popular patio design ideas.
Install Panels to Dress Up Your Exterior Surround
Anson Fieldstone Faux Stone Panel in Graphite
A good exterior surround around your patio can enhance your privacy while creating an intimate space for you and your guests. Your patio walls are only as good as their cladding. A dull wall makes for a dull space.
Dress up your exterior surround with panels of faux stone, shake shingles, or even faux brick. Each option has its own character and texture, allowing you to create a space that coordinates with your landscaping, home design, and personal preferences.
Adding texture to your space, such as a tasteful faux stone or a chic faux brick, gives you something to look at and enjoy while you relax. These textures also create a peaceful patio environment for you and your guests.
Each faux panel from Barron Designs comes in different colors, so you can choose the shades that coordinate best with your landscape. Faux panels are easy to install even if you're not a contractor, which means you can fully control the appearance of your patio walls without paying a high price for professional installation.
Create a Formal Entrance With Faux Stone Columns
Patios don't always have a formal entrance or exit, but you can give your patio one by framing it with faux stone columns. Just like the panels that you can install on your patio surround, you can choose the texture of your columns - whether stone or brick - and the color that most appeals to you. Consider your patio pavers, and coordinate with them, when choosing your faux stone columns.
Faux stone columns, while not load-bearing, add formal elegance and style for a more affordable price. Columns pair well with an exterior fireplace, making your patio space more sophisticated and decorative. Customize columns down to the cap.
Remember you can also attach a wooden wrap around structural posts that support your patio overhang, giving the appearance of strength and structure.
Draw Eyes Upward with Dramatic Ceiling Beams & Trusses
Rough Hewn Faux Wood Beams in Dark Walnut
Faux wood ceiling trusses or beams, which are perfect for a covered patio beneath a gabled entrance or roof extension, mimic the look of real wood. Ceiling trusses give your patio a rustic, cabin-like ambiance.
Trusses come in many colors and can be made from real wood or faux wood. Interesting textures and paint or stain give your patio more character while drawing the eyes upward toward the ceiling, projecting the look of strength, durability, and permanence.
Add Rustic Beauty to Your Patio With An Outdoor Mantel
If your patio's outdoor fireplace is missing a mantel, you're missing out on an important opportunity to add decoration to your patio space. The mantel itself is a decorative touch, of course, but the mantel also creates more space for decoration.
Faux wood mantels from Barron Designs can be made from fire-rated polyurethane. They provide a surface where you can place weatherproof art (like a stone sculpture), a potted plant, or even some seashells from a recent vacation. Faux wood mantels have the look of solid wood and come in a variety of finishes to match your preferred aesthetic.
