Functionality In any given project planning out your design before your remodel is important. When looking at patio design ideas you have to bear in mind that people use this area for different purposes like entertaining, outdoor activities or a spot to relax or wind down after a busy day. As such you will have to determine what the main functionality of your space will be. What do you have in mind? Will you be hosting large groups or having intimate gatherings? Do you envision quality family time by the fireside or fun playtime for the kids or a little bit of both? Once you have decided on the desired functionality of your new patio, come up with the best way to create space for each use case. Think of structures that you may want or need in your patio design.
