When summer the heat becomes unbearable and our utility bill is expected to increase from using the aircon to keep us cool, a porch or a patio makeover becomes a must. Spending some quality time outside and breathing the fresh will help us feeling cool and of course, prevent us and our kids from using the aircon.

Also, here are some tips from www.patioproductions.com on how to arrange your patio furniture: 


1. Decide on a Focal Point

Create a focal point that will anchor your outdoor space. This will serve as the primary gathering point and the heart of your patio arrangement.

2.Find a Purpose for Your Patio
Symmetrical patio furniture arrangements create a formal living space while asymmetrical arrangements are a bit more quirky and have a much more lax, casual feel.

3. Design Like a Traffic Conductor
-Think about the way that guests will enter and travel through your outdoor space.

4. Placement of Outdoor Furniture
Place the longest piece of furniture along the longest wall, facing the focal point. This will add to the area instead of detracting attention.
