Now that Summer is here, I have been helping my friend plan her garden makeover! She has a lovely little walled garden/patio area which will be perfect for lazy barbecues on long Summer evenings. I have been scouring Pinterest for inspiration, and these are some of my favourites so far- what do you think?
The key elements of an exotic summer patio
- Textiles. Cushions, Rugs, Curtains, Tablecloths
- Natural Materials. Wood, Bamboo *NO PLASTIC*
- Lots of green plants and brightly coloured flowers
- Terracotta and Patterned Ceramic Tiles
Here are some of my favourite patio designs. Let me know in the comments which ones you love most!

Love all the bold colours! But most of all the turquoise and pink contrast! It's so summery. I want this for all year round!
Thanks, Karolina! I love Turquoise and Pink together too, I wish I had my own beautiful patio!
