It is a perfect place for outdoor dinners, barbecues or family gatherings. It can also become an ideal space to add easy-care plants and flowers .

What elements cannot be missing in a small and modern patio

Small patios are characterized by having little space. However, it can be turned into a corner with many meters (visually) if you add the appropriate elements.

If you also want to give it a modern touch , this is what you can't miss:

MODERN FURNITURE

The key to a modern patio is to choose furniture with simple lines and neutral tones.

You can also add light furniture in metal, glass or synthetic materials can be a good option. If space allows, you can consider a small coffee table and comfortable chairs.

PLANTS

Even in a small space, plants can add life and color. Opt for plants that require little maintenance and are well adapted to your climate.

Modern pots or hanging planters can also add a stylish touch.

VERTICAL USE OF SPACE

If your patio is really small, take advantage of the walls. Vertical gardens, plant shelves, or wall hangers are great ways to maximize space.
