- 1). Measure your patio. You'll need to know the dimensions in order to decorate it appropriately. Too little decoration may make your patio plain and uncomfortable, while too much decoration may make it unusable.
- 2). Decide what environment you want for your patio and how you will use it. A comfortable place for family and friends to visit and relax is a popular use of a patio, but it's up to you. How much you use your patio will depend largely on how you decide to decorate it.
- 3). Go shopping or use existing decor for your patio. Here's your chance to make your patio your own. Choose plants, fencing, lighting and furniture (or any combination of these) you enjoy and make your patio your haven. Choose plants that thrive outdoors in your region. Your local nursery will answer any questions and help you choose the plants that will work best for you. Your local home improvement store has plenty of options when it comes to types of fences to accentuate your patio. You also have several choices when it comes to outdoor lighting; some people prefer electric lighting, others like solar lighting, and many enjoy the ambiant light of candles. Furniture is often the focal point of a patio; decide what kind of furniture you want for your patio (table and chairs, loungers or a variety). Place the furniture in a way that you will have easy access to it while enjoying your patio. Your local home improvement or department store will have several styles to choose from.
- 4). Relax and enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your patio.
