With access to new technology and ideas, many people are becoming more creative in the way they decorate their patios and backyards. Some popular choices are country, Mediterranean, tropical, traditional, and desert. In this article, we will be discussing trendy patio and backyard ideas.
Desert Themed Backyard
Desert themed patios are very popular on the East Coast due to the hot and dry weather. They are popular because they are easy to create and maintain. Many desert-themed patios have large open spaces and minimal plants. These plants are usually cacti or succulents and can be grown in simple conditions and are often planted in beds of stone. To keep the weeds away, use a quality landscape fabric cover, this will cut down on gardening and lawn care.
Tropical Themed Patio
If you are looking for bright and fun energy then tropical is the way to go. Tropical themes are simple and inspire memories of a vacation. When decorating your patio in a tropical theme you want to use bright colors and lightweight furniture. Use plenty of plants as decoration and light up your garden using torches instead of traditional lights. Or get even more creative with a solar-powered LED light up umbrella.
Mediterranean
There are many types of Mediterranean styles to choose from. Learn about each one before you figure out which style is best for you.
