Need some patio suggestions
Hi, recently moved into this home and am looking to get some patio ideas, from simple furniture to pergolas to patio furniture....Would love to see some mock-ups from anyone! I'm not good on the creative side ;)

There seems to a big difference in patio stone there also. What is your budget ? The more info you supply the better the help here. These are a couple of ideas to get you thinking. Also do you need a BBQ area ? You have a nice covered space so IMO a good outdoor furniture store will probably have a designer on staff to help too.

Comments (1)You have a very difficult room to work with here. For the curtains I would definitely choose something with pattern and a color that will "warm up the space" . I would buy longer panels that would go to atleast the top of the baseboard. I would also add a textured bamboo shade in a warm wood tone behind the curtains. By layering the window treatments you can completely hide the window when you don't want to see it without having to mess with the curtains. If you are going to keep all of the furnishings that you have in the room, I would defintely rearrange them. I would try to wall-mount the TV on the wall where the white sofa is now.You could place it on a hinged bracket which would allow you to swing it out for viewing and then push back out of the way when not in use. If cou cannot wall mount it, I still think that I would relocate it here. I would place the white sofa in front of the window (with it's lovely new blinds and curtains) which would supply a better "backdrop" for it than the white wall which it is now blending into. If you could, it would actually be a good idea to lose the white couch altogether, leave the black sofa where it is, and place a low bench or a pair of ottomans facing the black couch thus creating a conversation group while still being able to see over them when watching TV. I would define the seating group with a plush area rug with plenty of warm color that will compliment your new curtains while warming up the white floors. In fact, since the rug is probably going to be the most expensive item I would pick it out first and let it set the color palette for you....See MoreNeed help for curtain color and rug
Comments (3)Hi, Nitikaa! We used your pillows as a jumping-off point to search our area rugs by the color red (http://www.atgstores.com/area-rugs_610.html?option0=optionA=265687|18968~Valu&page=1) and we found some ideas for you. We posted them below, but would remind you that you can swap out your red throws for something else to counterpoint your black furniture and console with something lighter. Drawing the decor, curtains and rug together by color can be a great way to add depth to your room, which appears to have a contemporary style. We hope this helps and wish you luck!...See MoreNeed urgent help for my living room layout
Comments (1)Hi 4evazx, I believe that you had given your designer a good and clear brief of your wants and needs and discussed all details with your designer. Your designer has done a great job as i can see from the floor plan and lighting layout. Trust your instinct and have faith in your designer. The only thing i would recommend is that you get your 12w downlight at 4000k. This is a natural daylight glow and is great in apartments. Do post pictures of your apartment when its done. Enjoy the process....See Moreneed some prof advice on my wishlist
