How to Decorate a Patio with Shades
As spring approaches, you may be considering ways to revamp your patio and redecorate your exterior. Ultimately, your outdoor space should be as cozy and welcoming as your indoor spaces, whether your goal is relaxation or entertainment. There are a lot of different approaches to decorating a patio—for example, choosing complementary Hunter Douglas window treatments that look as good from the outside of your home as they do from inside. If you’re looking for blinds, shades, or shutters for your doors and windows, our team at The Blindman is here to help you find them.
This guide will introduce you to three different patio decor approaches: Modern Minimalist, Cozy Bohemian, and Rustic Farmhouse.
Modern Minimalist Patio
If you appreciate the look of clean lines and a neutral color palette, a modern minimalist style may be perfect for your patio. A modern minimalist patio will showcase a monochrome color palette with pops of muted color, often with accessories like outdoor cushions or a statement rug.
Wood, metal, and glass are all great options when choosing a material for your patio furniture. Consider functional furniture with hidden storage or modular seating that can be rearranged in a matter of seconds.
Solar Shades for Patios
Any room facing a garden or patio, especially modern minimalist decor styles, could benefit from Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades. These solar shades could be anywhere in the home, but especially in a sunroom, a covered patio, or enclosed porch set-up to help reduce glare and UV exposure while you’re relaxing. The simplicity of a solar shade also provides a crisp, clean look that flows perfectly with a minimalist patio. Our solar shades come in over 130 fabric/color choices and can be customized with various opacity levels. Plus, they protect your interiors and belongings from UV damage.
Cozy Bohemian Retreat
A bohemian patio will celebrate layered textures, vibrant pops of color, and complement eclectic interior decor. Furniture options like wicker, rattan, and even bamboo will harmonize with textured or patterned outdoor rugs, funky cushions, and woven wall hangings. String lights or lanterns will add a great finishing touch to your bohemian patio.
Woven Shades for Patios
Bohemian style tends to lend itself to all-natural materials and textures, so woven shades are a perfect fit. Our favorite choice for a bohemian patio is our Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, which are made from woods, reeds, grasses and bamboo. These look fantastic and provide great durability on patio windows and especially sliding glass doors. Choose from Roman, Waterfall Roman, or vertical drapery orientations for any window size or shape.
Rustic Farmhouse Patio
If your interior has a rustic farmhouse vibe, then you enjoy a mixing of styles and eras. This style highlights natural wood, distressed paint finishes, and cozy accessories like plush cushion and woven throw blankets. We envision elements like a wooden dining table, vintage lanterns, and potted plants on a rustic farmhouse inspired deck, perfect for entertaining or quality family time enjoying a barbecue or playing games together.
Durable Shutters for Patios
While there are a lot of Hunter Douglas blind and shutters styles perfect for patio doors, we recommend Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters for a rustic farmhouse patio. They provide a classic, timeless look, and these shutters are one of the few window treatments that we fully back for complete outdoor (or indoor) use due to their material composition and ability to stand up to the elements. Plus, they look fantastic on French doors or sliding glass doors that lead to your patio.
