Outdoor Patio Designs | How To Choose The Right Outdoor Patio Design For Your Home
What is an outdoor patio?
A patio (/ˈpætioʊ/, from Spanish: patio [ˈpatjo]; “courtyard”, “forecourt”, “yard”, “little garden”) is an outdoor space generally used for dining or recreation that adjoins a structure and is typically paved. The patio is a Spanish word, and it means that it’s in the courtyard of your building. They’re found adjacent to your home and on the ground floor.
Shapes and Types of Patios:
Location will have a major influence on the shape of a patio. Other factors include the architectural style of your house, the size of your lot, your budget, and what the outdoor space will be used for. Shapes and types include:
Freestanding or Detached Patio:
This type is especially good for larger properties or those with attractive landscaping and gardens. If you desire a quiet retreat away from the noise and activity of the rest of the house, a freestanding makes a nice escape. Most are accessible via a garden path or walkway. Other additions include gazebos, roofs, water features, and furnishings.
U-Shaped and L-Shaped Patios:
Typically, these types hug the outside of a house and are accessible from at least a couple of rooms. They make an easy and natural transition and extension from indoors to out and are pretty straightforward to design and build.
Wraparound Patio:
This is similar to a wraparound porch, only larger or taking up more outdoor space, not always covered, and usually attached to the back and sides of a house. It can also enlarge a home’s living space by acting as an extension.
Multilevel Patio:
A property that is built on a slope or large lot may benefit from the addition of multilevel patios, which are usually connected by steps or paths. Depending on where you live, this type might take advantage of a potential view. Of course, it gives you more outdoor entertaining and relaxation space.
Entry Patio:
Are you looking for something to do with your front yard if you are considering getting rid of that thirsty front lawn? Or, do you want to enjoy the front yard but hope for some privacy? An entry patio is a great solution for gaining living space at the front of your property. Add paving, container plants, a fountain and a privacy wall for an enchanting entrance.
