Fall is the perfect time to cozy up outdoors with nice hot cocoa (or some spiced wine), some delicious snacks, and a cozy blanket. It’s even better when you have the right patio furniture to lounge around on all evening.
In fact, fall is the ideal time to re-do your patio space and make it cozier and warmer for the chilly nights and outdoor hangs, date nights, family nights, and more–but if you’re a homeowner with a patio space but not sure how you can use it more creatively, we’ve got a few recommendations for you!
Invest in great quality furniture
You first need to add some great quality patio furniture, such as this wonderful loveseat sofa set with an ottoman stool for you to rest your feet on. The set is entirely customizable, and you can choose the colors you want for the cloth, allowing you to find options that match your aesthetic more effectively.
It’s a great set to invest in since the couch can also be pulled apart as individual seats, and the ottoman makes for additional seating. It’s designed to act as a sectional but can also be split up and fit into different corners of your patio when you’re hosting.
Additionally, add a coffee table or outdoor dining table where you can serve food during parties, reach for snacks and drinks more easily, and keep your couches safe from spills.
Add rugs and throws for more warmth
Nothing brings a room in like a good rug—and this holds true for your favorite outdoor spaces too! You can instantly add more warmth (literally and figuratively) with a rug for your patio, which will not only bring in a pop of color and print but also give you a warmer surface to walk on. You can choose thicker and cozier rugs to avoid walking on the bare, cold patio floor and get added protection for your furniture.
Put a portable firepit or fire bowl in the center
A fire bowl or firepit is a great addition to make to your patio space during fall. While it may not be cold enough to use, depending on where you are, it’s always fun to have when you’re hanging outdoors. You can make a campfire out of it, roast marshmallows over it, or just cozy up by the fire on your wonderful patio furniture. It brings warmth, light, and unparalleled coziness.
Decorate it with knick-knacks, plants, and flowers
Many people don’t think about patio decor in terms of all the exciting things they can do with it. Just because it’s outdoors doesn’t mean it has to be boring or plain; you can hang up ambient lights such as string lights or tiki torches, add some gorgeous flowers and plants for a more natural touch or play around with outdoor decor pieces that make it feel more homely. The trick is to not overdo it and find what complements your patio furniture, but a little decor can really spruce up your space.
With these transformation ideas and tips, your patio will easily be your favorite new fall hangout spot. You can make it all the more comfortable and way cozier with the help of some of PatioHQ’s fabulous outdoor seating options, including sofas from their Murano collection.
