Careful choice of materials is the foundational principle of patio decorating. Landscaping architects can often achieve the most remarkable design patterns just by choosing materials whose very forms are ornamental in their own respect.Focal points are the next thing to consider in patio decorating. Landscaping designers can create a focal point out of something as simple as a single entrance to a patio with a wall around it. With a few decorative plants on either side, and with some sophisticated masonry at the entrance point, the access point gains dimension, drama, and interest.
Another example of a focal point would be an outdoor fireplace. This offers both focus and vertical impact by drawing the eye to a central point on the hardscape. If you are looking to gather family and friends around a single point of conversation, an outdoor fireplace that is professionally designed will give you just such a focus regardless of the time of the year. Even if it is too hot to burn logs, the ornamental impact it has on your landscape is truly sublime.
