Spring will be here before we know it! Better Homes and Gardens gave us some great ideas on how to spruce up your patio area so it's the perfect retreat or place to entertain! These ideas are easy and fairly inexpensive!
Water element: There's something about water that's serene and peaceful. Be sure to add it to your patio. Enhance those relaxing moments with a patio-size water garden.
Don't forget the power of fragrance: When you're relaxing on the patio at the end of the day, enjoy a rich aroma or subtle perfume.
Patios often look like they've just been plopped in your yard: To avoid a jarring feel, plant a border of flowering annuals, perennials, and shrubs around the edge.
Throw down a rug: There are more and more high-quality, weather-resistant rugs for use outdoors. They come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can find one to suit your tastes.
Light it up: Give your patio personality at night. Whether to illuminate a dark space or add ambiance to your favorite seating area, outdoor lighting can be just the touch of nighttime pizzazz your patio needs.
With all of the fun, new outdoor living accessories, be sure to have everything properly insured. Wisconsin residents, contact Kori Cumley to review your current policy or for more information.
