Refresh Your Patio This Spring

The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and the sun is finally warming those long-neglected outdoor spaces. It’s finally time to dust off the cobwebs and breathe new life into your patio. At Paddy O' Furniture, we believe your patio should be an extension of your home – a place to relax, entertain, and soak up the beautiful Spring season. So, let's dive into some easy and inspiring ways to refresh your patio this spring!

1. The Big Clean:

First things first, give your patio a thorough cleaning. Winter can leave behind a mess of leaves, dirt, and grime.

• Sweep and Wash: Start by sweeping away debris. Then, use a mild soap and water solution to wash down your patio furniture, decking, and any other surfaces. A pressure washer can be a great tool for getting the dirt off your patio and can even be used to clean off your furniture as well (keep in mind you do not want to pressure wash delicate materials)!

• Clean Your Cushions: We always recommend cleaning your cushions to keep them looking good as new! Click here for our extended care and maintenance instructions. 

• Use a handheld vacuum to remove loose dirt and debris.

• Use a soft brush to clean your cushions using a mixture of lukewarm water (under 100°F) and a mild detergent.

• Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely. Do not use a machine dryer.

2. Revitalize Your Furniture (and Add Comfort!):

Your patio furniture is the heart of your outdoor space, and comfort is key.

• Cushion Refresh: If your cushions are looking tired, consider replacing them with new, vibrant colors. Our Bliss Cushions are the perfect cushions to refresh your space! Our unique barrier by Crypton® makes the fabric of the Bliss Cushion waterproof, dust-proof, anti-microbial, stain-resistant, easy to clean, and made in the U.S.A. This is an easy way to instantly update your look. We offer a wide range of Bliss Cushions in different colors and sizes!

• Add a Pop of Color with Throw Pillows: Don't underestimate the impact of throw pillows! They are a fantastic way to instantly change the look and feel of your patio. Choose outdoor-rated pillows in bold patterns and colors that complement your existing furniture. Our Bliss By Design throw pillows use the same Bliss Fabric as our Cushions, making them the most durable pillow option.

• Ground Your Space with an Outdoor Rug: An outdoor rug can define your patio space and add a layer of comfort underfoot. They come in a variety of styles, from vibrant patterns to subtle textures, and are designed to withstand the elements. We even have some new awesome rugs to choose from Treasure Garden!

• Consider New Pieces from Paddy O' Furniture: If your furniture is showing its age, spring is the perfect time to invest in new pieces. Explore our latest collections like Frame, Resort or Villa that will instantly elevate your space!

3. Embrace the Greenery:

Spring is all about new growth, so bring some life to your patio with plants!

• Container Gardening: Potted plants are a fantastic way to add color and texture to your space. Choose a variety of flowering plants, herbs, and greenery to create a lush and inviting atmosphere.

• Bring in the Fragrance: Don't forget about the power of scent! Plant fragrant flowers like lavender, jasmine, or roses to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

4. Create an Inviting Atmosphere:

The details make all the difference.

• Add a Fire Feature: A fire pit table can extend your patio season and create a cozy gathering spot for friends and family. Even in warmer weather, the nights and mornings can still be cooler, and fire features are a great addition to your space!

• Personal Touches: Add personal touches like outdoor art, wind chimes, or a water feature to make your patio feel like your own.

5. Plan for Relaxation and Entertainment:

Your patio should be a place where you can relax and enjoy the company of loved ones.

• Comfort is King: Invest in comfortable seating and create a layout that encourages conversation. Sectionals or sofas are a great way to create a comfortable space that encourages conversation.

• Create a Dining Area: If you enjoy outdoor dining, set up a table and chairs or a comfortable dining set. Our Bliss Dining Tables are the perfect addition to your space. Our tables feature sintered stone, making them the most durable outdoor option. Scratch, stain, and fade-resistant, you don't have to worry about guests spilling or leaving marks on your table.

• Entertainment Options: Consider adding a grill for barbecues.
