Patio Design Ideas and Pictures

Simple, lightweight metal tables and chairs in vivid colors add lots of punch to a small patio. Tie the colors together with pillows in coordinating prints made from indoor/outdoor fabric and a sturdy indoor/outdoor rug underfoot.

The colors used here - red and brown - are reflected in the pottery, umbrellas, garden ornaments, accessories, and succulents and other plants. Start with a favorite piece of garden furniture, a ceramic pot or a beautiful plant, and build your outdoor color scheme from there.
