make a statement and help fill the space, while also adding plants that provide food, flowers, or both.

that have trellises on them so you can create a green wall to section off the patio space.

Try bringing out weather safe candle holders, vases, frames, and artwork. This makes the patio feel

Linens can really soften an area. Use bright tablecloths, throw pillows, and area rugs on your patio to

help make it feel more inviting. The linens can also add a pop of color as well as texture, which can pull

the space together nicely and make it feel more comfortable and home-like.

7. Add sound.

Try a small fountain to help bring in relaxing sounds to the space. You can also try a nearby birdfeeder to

attract song birds, or add wind chimes so you can get sound to the space that way. Adding sound helps

make the space feel more cozy and inviting.
