At Notaro Windows we know that there’s always room for home improvements, so we’ve created this guide to patio designing to help you make your mind up on your patio design. Patios can make a great outdoor socialising space with a bit of style if you put some thought behind it – they don’t have to be boring!
Have an idea
Everything starts with an idea. Do you like any themes, colours or materials? Some people like random paving while others prefer precise patterns. Maybe you’ve always wanted a water feature or a pergola for some creeping vines?
Know what you want from your patio
How will you be using the space? Is it for dining or sunbathing? An extension of your living room or kitchen or a stylish new pathway to the rest of your garden?
Look at the space
The biggest faux pas of patios is to go right up against your wall. Not only is it quite difficult to create a level surface so close the foundations, it also creates wasted space. Be creative with how you design the paving. Utilise flowerbeds and small rockeries to fill in dead space and save money on slabs. As a patio paving company in Somerset we can help you use your space in the best way.
Visualise it
The best thing to do when planning a patio is to draw it or use a virtual designer. You can input your area specifications and select different paving finishes as well as small landscape features such as low walls and flowerbeds.
Research
No-one likes a bad deal. Shop around! – do your research on where you can find your desired materials for the best price.
