Improving Your Apartment’s Patio, Part II

If you’ve recently moved into a new apartment, you’re more than likely thinking about how you’ll furnish it in order to make the most of your new home. Whether you frequently entertain or you enjoy reading outside, we’re willing to bet that you’ll be using your patio frequently this summer. In our previous post, we gave you three ideas for improving the atmosphere and privacy of your patio. In today’s post, we’ll continue on that same theme, providing you with even more ways to improve your apartment’s patio.

couch

invest in furniture

Spring is officially here, and with summer on the way, you’re probably looking forward to relaxing outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. Even though you probably won’t be using your patio much during the winter, investing in quality furniture will significantly improve your patio’s atmosphere. If you’re concerned about a small couch or cushions staying out all winter, find something that matches your indoor decor and move your furniture inside when the weather starts to cool down.

If you don’t have room for pieces of large furniture on your patio, consider purchasing a small bistro set, a few comfortable chairs, or a small bench to sit on. You’ll be surprised at how much more comfortable and cozy your patio becomes when you have a place to sit and talk with a friend or read by yourself.

use the ceiling

We covered ideas for the edge of your patio and the furniture within it in our previous post, but there’s plenty you can do with your patio’s ceiling, too. We mentioned in our previous blog that LED lighting can make your apartment’s patio come to life, and hanging these lights from the ceiling rather than across your balcony will create a vibrant and fun atmosphere. You can also purchase wind chimes, stained glass, lamps, and other unique trinkets to hang from the ceiling to give your patio even more personality.

take advantage of shelving

If you’re like most apartment owners, you’re probably always concerned about having enough space to store your belongings. A great way to improve your patio’s design while also increasing its functionality is to invest in or create a shelving unit for your patio. You can use it to store books, trinkets, lamps, and anything else you’d like to have on your patio. If you’re worried about the wind and the rain, no problem! Many shelving units are available with glass covers, making them the perfect year-round addition to your patio.
