Inspiration #53: Backyard patio design

While we haven’t yet been blanketed in snow, a wet fall and winter has got the best of #L2HQ and the deck is not quite finished. I work on days when the weather gets warm enough, but it hasn’t kept me from dreaming about the finished product. Today I thought we’d look at the patio design and take a peek into the flavor of what will influence the final outcome at #L2HQ.

This is the latest in a weekly post of residential architecture inspiration. If you want to see past weeks, you can go here. If you want to see them curated on my pinterest (sometimes before they even hit the blog), go here.

Taking a more refined pallet approach, these low-sitting wood sectionals create a bohemian patio design that looks oh-so-wonderful for Sunday naps.

An unused side yard becomes a great patio design with pavers thanks to some DIY effort. Proof that small, simple moves can still make big statements.

There’s something about board-formed concrete that gets me every time! This modern patio design isn’t for the faint of heart (or light in budget) but it sure is a delight.

Reason #897024356709 why I love CB2 – this compilation of some of their outdoor furniture options to create a modern patio design is right up my alley. I even have a few of these pieces for the #L2HQ patio ;).

Modern through and through, this simple patio design hides what was likely a pretty intensive renovation to create it. But then again, that’s #WhyYouHireAnArchitect.

Another great patio design with a spice of color to finish us off this week. I love the contrasting deep concrete finish with the bright woods and accent chairs.
