Having a great patio space is an asset in the islands, as it is not only somewhere with a great view, but it’s usually cooler as well. Anyone can create a backyard with a place to eat and drink, maybe an umbrella and a barbecue, but a space that looks great and makes you want to be there is on another level. Here are five ways to make your patio pop.
Create a Lookout
With a great view from every angle, why would you need to create a dedicated “viewing” area? By getting the best possible view and making that place
Take a Swing
The porch swing gets an upgrade with seating that literally floats on air. With a good rug and plenty of places for everyone to enjoy swaying to the breezes, elevated seating is a cool place to spend time outdoors.
A Chic Bar
Everybody loves a good happy hour, so why not make your patio the place to get one? A great bar is a fun way to entertain friends and family and a bar that looks as great as the drinks that come out of it is a major plus.
Be Shady
That’s right, be a little shady. Especially in the hot Caribbean sun, a good umbrella or awning is an asset to any patio or backyard. Invest in a great umbrella that really gives your space the shade you need to make the day comfortable, no matter the time.
Al Fresco Dining
Yes, anybody can put up a table and some chairs and it will still be a great time. But a really great dining area can turn a regular patio into an entertainment paradise. Choose a table that can seat a group that you’d normally have, but have options available for more intimate settings as well. Make the seating comfortable and inviting, and you have the perfect recipe for a good time.
