We can feel it in the air – spring has arrived! As we start to daydream about backyard barbeques and summer evenings outside, it’s also time bring your patio furniture back out and clear off the deck. Maybe your outside space needs a little makeover – here are 4 patios to inspire you!

I love this outdoor space because it looks so cozy and so classy. The outdoor fireplace and plush furniture create a perfect space to kick back with a cocktail and talk fireside with friends and family.

I love the ambiance this space provides. It’s simple, but it looks warm and inviting. With a small deck or patio, a fire pit, chairs and some string lights, you can easily re-create this look in your own backyard.

Doesn’t this look like the perfect spot for brunch or sipping coffee on a bright, summer morning? I love the way it’s decorated to feel like a living room. It looks like a space to stay all day and long into the evening.

This space looks perfect for spending an afternoon in the sun, without actually feeling like you’re sweltering in the sun. The roof provides shade and the fan helps to move the air around. All the while, you can relax surrounded by sunshine and beautiful greenery.
