Patios provide a comfortable way to spend time outside and they’re great for entertaining company, but did you know that a patio in excellent condition can also boost your home’s value by 8 to 10%?

If you love your patio but know it needs an upgrade, consider the option to redesign your patio. From your patio floor to the furniture, there are many ways you can reboot your outdoor space and make the most of it.

If you want to redesign your patio but you’re not sure where to start, look no further. At Garage Force, we’re passionate about providing the very best in concrete floor coating for residential homes and commercial locations. 

We’re here for you, whether it’s to provide the best flooring for a new patio design or another room in your home. 

Read on to learn some of the design ideas you can consider for your patio before you begin your redesign. 

Start at the Bottom

When it comes to breathing new life into an old space, it’s always best to start at the bottom, or, the floor. 

Redesigning your floor can change the entire look and feel of your patio, so it’s a great area to start working on if you’re doing an entire home design rehaul. Even if you’re doing a few simple upgrades, good flooring is a must.

When it comes to upgrading your concrete flooring, consider Garage Force. Our concrete floor coating will look beautiful on your patio. We also provide one-day flooring installation, and a residential lifetime warranty, and our floors have improved slip and impact resistance. 

Our polyurea floor coating and polyspartic floor coating are 20 times stronger than epoxy floor coating and more flexible. 

We also offer an array of different patio floor coating designs and colors, so no matter what you’re looking for you’re sure to find it. Choose between pristine solid colors like Royal Bue or Old World Orange.  

You can also try something unique, like our metallic colors in Coral or Papaya. Our quartz coating is also lovely and comes in dark colors as well as bright colors that may look more attractive outside. 

Not only will new flooring feel fresh, but it will likely also be more comfortable and is sure to impress guests. No matter what color you choose, your new concrete floor resurfacing will be sure to transform your patio space. 

Upgrade Your Patio Furniture

You’re going to need something to sit on your new upgraded concrete coating! Patio furniture is a simple way to bring your patio decor up a notch. 

You’ll want to make sure you have a decent patio sofa to sit on. It’s important that you think of comfort as much as style. Not only are you going to want to relax on your sofa outdoors, but you’ll want any guests to feel comfortable, too.

You will also want to consider the fact that any furniture you buy will be staying outside. With this in mind, look into materials that you know will be easy to keep clean or clean when necessary.

If you have a pool, you will also want to look for materials that dry fast or aren’t damaged by water! Adding some fun and decorative pillows to your patio sofa will also show off your style and make sitting on it more comfortable.

A patio furniture set might be your best bet. This way, there will be a sofa and an extra armchair or two for all your guests to sit on when they visit. 

You will also want to invest in a coffee table or end tables where you can place towels, speakers, food, drinks, or anything else you need while you’re outside. 

Last, but not least, you’ll want to figure out a comfortable shade situation if your patio is out in the sun. While laying out in the sun is fun, it’s important to have some protection from UV rays also. 

A large standing umbrella is ideal if you’re only looking to shade 1-2 people. Find one that is adjustable so you can move it as the sun moves positions throughout the day. 

You should also look into open tents or canopies if you’d like to provide shade to a larger group of people. 

Bring Some Greenery

Nothing makes an outdoor space more beautiful than the outdoors themselves!

While your patio is likely already surrounded by nature, it never hurts to bring more of it around. Buying plants to place around your patio is an inexpensive and easy way to upgrade it and make it look inviting and peaceful.

You can buy an array of small plants to place all over. If you’re a beginner, make sure to ask about plants that are low maintenance and do well outdoors in direct sunlight. You can also research watering schedules and techniques to upkeep your new plants. 

You can also look into larger standing plants. These will look like small trees without taking up too much space. A money tree is great to buy as a young plant and it’s satisfying to watch it grow taller over time.

You can also choose the pottery to house your new plants in. Pottery comes in all shapes and colors so you’ll be able to match with your patio decor or add splashes of surprising color.
