A picture perfect vision of staying at home is one often portrayed in classics where lounging in a Georgian-inspired patio, looking out to the beautiful landscape of blinding blue sky and warm breeze on a quiet day is a scene drafted to perfection. It does look more inviting than working your thumbs away, straining your eyes, and cursing at the clueless video game on an unlucky game day (the characters are just doing their job).
Georgian patios are not an unfamiliar home theme as this design has been around for many years. It is a modern twist to the classic southern porch used in early American homes common in many ancestral and plantation residence. The modern design adds enclosing the patio in glass, which also makes air-conditioning a fixture in the space. Old houses can benefit from retrofitting the roof or be trendy with a nature-inspired greenhouse design.
Decorating a Georgian patio cannot be any more feasible with so many timely furniture and adaptable materials to suit the space. Those made of wicker, rattan, maple, wood and bamboo are popular choices. Integrating colors in the patio can dramatically liven up the place. Bright cushions, pastel seat covers, earth-toned pillows and light furniture frames can do wonders for the entire space.
The patio floor should also be included in the decorating plan. If you can improve the floor by replacing it with new flooring, please do. It will transform the patio to its original, brand-new look. Still, whether you replace the flooring or make do with cleaning, area rugs will aid in the transformation. An area rug for a furniture set or one that highlights a piece of furnishing can make the room warm and welcoming. There are many pretty rugs designed for outdoor use. The fabrics, designs and colors will suit the weather factors and the natural colors perfectly.
There is no need to leave the garden outside. Consider cascades of persistently flowering begonias suspended in macram hangers inside and out. The intensely green leaves and bright flowers will counterpoint your furniture and walls. A medley of tiny cache pots planted with African violets nestled at an east facing window is an example of the interest such arrangements can provide. Philodendrons and tall indoor palms of the chamadoerea family do particularly well in glass-ceiling Georgian patios. Such draw the eye upward and add a luxurious intimacy to your enclosed patio.
Accessorize the windows by putting a light curtain or a window blind in a suitable color. It offers protection from the sometimes too harsh sunlight but at the same time, does not prevent natural light to seep through the patio. Install a lighting that gives off a warm glow for your nighttime visits.
If you wish for more decors, hang paintings, photos or other artworks. Choose frames that complement the other colors in the room. Therefore, it can be dark, wooden frames or lighter, brighter ones to go with the other decorative items.
