			<description><![CDATA[A profusion of colorful blooms outlining a patio may be beautiful during the day, but what do they look like at night? Buyers beware - some colors disappear in the darkness. Finding greenery and flowers that sparkle after dark is part of bringing patios to life at night.
Interspersed with patio furniture sets, homeowners look to nature for the best outdoor accessories for a deck or patio - plants, flowers, bushes and small trees. But what appears lush and green during the day may fade into the background after dark.

			<description><![CDATA[Curves are in. They have become a trend in garden and patio design. Adding curves to walkways, flower gardens and patio furniture adds dimension among the geometrics of an outdoor space.
A curved walkway into a patio or sway in the garden pathways adds a little bit of mystery as visitors make their way into an outdoor gathering.
&quot;Always have a curve,&quot; Canadian landscape designer Brian Minter told Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. &quot;You want to keep them guessing. What&#039;s up ahead? What will I discover? You don&#039;t need a lot of space to achieve that.&quot;

			<description><![CDATA[Too often, a back porch that&#039;s little more than a landing gets overlooked in the design of an outdoor living area. It doesn&#039;t have to be that way. If the porch is large enough to fit some patio furniture, it may be a spot where one might linger.
A small porch outside a back entry that leads out to a patio should be integrated into the design of the larger space. A couple of pieces of wicker patio furniture can give it a homey look where homeowners will want to start their day with a quiet morning cup of coffee. For...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Floridians, more than most people, understand why treating their patios as another room is important. Being able to use a deck or patio year-round means it will get more use than in regions with changing seasons. That&#039;s why outdoor rooms should be just as stylish as those in a home&#039;s interior.
According to Southern Living Magazine, the Pinecrest, Florida home of Ann and Frank Rubino is a good example. The&nbsp;couple chose patio furniture sets for their French-inspired portico to complement the chandelier, slate floor and French doors as if they were outfitting a room inside the house.
&quot;The patio was intended to...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#039;t matter whether a property is surrounded by coastal breezes on the Florida shore or sunlit ranchland in the heart of Texas. Adding colorful flowers and plants enhances any outdoor living space. They have the same beneficial effect whether they are grown in flower boxes, along borders or in containers.
Garden lovers who live in warm weather states have the advantage of being able to plant outside whatever the time of year. For those in colder regions, planting seedlings inside is necessary until there is no danger of nighttime frost.

&quot;There are many ways to make small spaces seem larger and more comfortable. The key to designing petite places is to focus on simplicity,&quot; reports DIYAdvice.com.

			<description><![CDATA[Americans aren&#039;t alone in choosing blue as their favorite color. Worldwide, about 40 percent of people say the color of the ocean is their top choice, reports AOL Lifestyle.&nbsp;
A patio that reflects the seaside colors of coastal regions such as Florida and California can incorporate a sky blue as the base color in patio furniture with accents in light green and muted purple. For a bold accessory hue, homeowners can throw in a few splashes of orange, which is blue&#039;s complement on the color wheel.
Both contemporary and traditional design schemes easily incorporate shades of the world&#039;s favorite hue. From wicker...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[All-weather materials that resist sun and water damage allow homeowners to leave seat cushions for patio chairs outdoors without worry. However, cleaning has to take place from time to time. Sunbrella.com recommends that occasional cleaning of outdoor coverings will keep them looking fresh.
Loose dirt should be brushed away first. A cleaning solution with warm water and a mild soap, such as Woolite, should take care of any spots or dirt that remains.
The website recommends using a sponge or a soft bristled brush to clean the fabric, then allowing it to soak into the material. Once cleaning is done, the fabric...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Bungalows peppered throughout southern California create interesting design possibilities for patios and decks. In the tradition of this architectural style, cottage decorating with a seaside theme also allows home decorators to integrate the look of California living into their color plan.
A sloped overhang, for instance, can open the way to use patio furniture that fits these unique home designs, according to RafterTales.com. Seen in the same light as a traditional A-frame, homeowners can carry the open floor plan that usually accompanies such construction into their outdoor living space.
For soft furnishings, HGTV suggests combining patterns that fit the casual style of...]]></description>

A nook can serve the same purpose on a patio or deck. If there is room to carve out a special place for a solitary morning cup of coffee or a dinner for two, creating a nook is the way to do it.
Patio furniture that&#039;s chosen for this special place should reflect the interests and needs of those who use it most. For quiet time, outdoor chaise lounges or daybeds with deep cushions provide super relaxation. A small...]]></description>
