Outdoor Patio Design Ideas For Your Backyard

With all of us spending more time at home than ever, our outdoor spaces are about to be in the spotlight. Warm weather its on its way and its time to start utilizing our patios and backyards to their full potential! I’ve put together some of my favorite outdoor patio design ideas for your backyard, just in time for summer. 

Charming Outdoor Living Area

Everything about this outdoor patio design is just so charming. From the paper lanterns, handmade macrame wall hangings and the ivy ceiling, this outdoor living area exudes all things charm and cozy. I love the black back drop that acts as a wall and really grounds this outdoor living space. This look can be fairly easily replicated by using an exterior wall or a fence as the focal point.

Simple Outdoor Patio Makeover

Livvy revamped the outdoor living space on her patio with outdoor furniture and ambient lighting (I’m a total sucker for those string lights). With the addition of some colorful throw pillows and several potted plants, she’s achieved a outdoor patio design for many relaxing evenings enjoying the backyard.
