Patios are a great place to gather with family and friends, have barbecues, or just relax. But sometimes patios can be old and boring, with nothing colorful or inviting to brighten up the mood! With these eight simple DIY ideas, you can get your patio to become the talk of the town!
Curtains
One problem a lot of people have with patios is how open and exposed they can be. Well, strike that problem off the list with you own set of patio curtains! The great thing about patio curtains is that they not only provide comfort and privacy, but you can use any color and design you want to liven up your outdoor area!

When night comes, we all want to relax on the patio without having to rely on the buzzing outdoor light or the dim lights from inside. With a little work and some creativity, you can make your very own string of patio lights that will bathe you in a warm glow when the sun goes down.
