Modern Patio Design Ideas
A modern patio combines the sleek sophistication with clean lines and intentional negative space with a space designed for anyone with a hardscape outdoor area.
A patio typically features furniture, planters, shade structure, lighting. Container gardening and vertical space are your best friends in a patio. When designed in the modern style, these elements get elevated with clean whites, warm grays, charcoal accents and materials like polished concrete, steel planters, composite decking.
