Any porch or patio can be transformed into a stunning outdoor living area. If earlier the recreation area looked most often like a set of plastic furniture with a small barbecue, now thanks to wicker furniture made of artificial vine, new fabrics, original lighting, durable carpets, you can equip a comfortable and stylish place for a pleasant pastime.

To make the outdoor recreation area cozy, you will have to take into account all the same factors as when decorating the interior of the living room inside the house. These are floor, lighting, colors, patterns and texture. It is even worth considering the walls, especially on the porch, a heater or fan. All the efforts invested will pay off handsomely.

On the porch, you can create the atmosphere of the room with accessories. Indoor flowers will create a sense of connection between the interior and exterior, filling the space with warmth. Lanterns and fruit bowls will only add to the impression. Ceiling fan helps you survive the hours of the sun with ease.

Walls, even if they are made of fabric, will help create an atmosphere of privacy, a feeling of coziness and security. Lanterns, flowerpots and vintage items create a cozy atmosphere.

The lime-colored fabric is a departure from the traditional choice of white curtains. It helps create a spicy, bohemian atmosphere. The color of the wooden frame matches the color of the furniture. It is rare when you can see a luxurious couch in the yard, but in this case its use is justified – on the one hand, it blocks the view from the couch, on the other, it allows you to freely sit down and take a nap for a couple of hours.

There is something unique and attractive about exotic styles. This is what explains the Moroccan-style patio design. And then there’s cute French or Mediterranean. Everyone is so used to looking at things from the same point that they lose a lot of interesting possibilities..

Thanks to modern materials, you don’t have to worry at all about the weather conditions and the safety of the furniture. Original metal chairs with soft cushions will provide comfort, and a wooden table, which seems to have served faithfully for more than one century, will help create a certain atmosphere, which will only be emphasized by vintage watches.

You don’t have to make an outdoor living room luxurious. Reliable armchairs with simple fabric cushions, an ottoman serving as a coffee table, a side table and a carpet – this is a cozy sitting area.

A bench built into the wall limits the space on the terrace and increases the number of seats, which is especially good where large companies gather. It is desirable that the fabric on the pillows echoes both on the bench and on the chairs..

Furniture in the recreation area does not have to be combined with each other. To create the most residential atmosphere, you don’t have to be afraid to mix different elements. The large patio is split into two areas, each offering a certain level of privacy. In such areas, it is best to install a TV specially designed for outdoor use..

Rustic wood tables bring a unique texture and antique feel to the patio. The fact that the material from which they are made differs from the armchairs is an indisputable plus. They helped give the recreation area its character.

If the arches were not visible on the right, no one would have guessed that the living room is not inside the house, but in the fresh air. The furnishings, including furniture, do not at all fit into the usual concept of a relaxation area on a patio..
