PORTLAND,
Ore. – With the weather warming up in Portland, and across the Pacific
Northwest, more people will be spending time outside in the coming weeks and
one of the best ways to make your home more desirable to home buyers, if it has
a patio, is to enhance that space with these simple decorating tips.
#1 – Purchase New Pots and
Flowers
One of
the first things you can do is to buy new planters and colorful pots which you
can place on your deck and then plant flowers in.
Before
deciding on which types of flowers to plant make sure you consult with your
local nursery to verify what plants would work well for your deck since certain
plants like full sun, shade, or both.
#2 – Invest In New Patio
Furniture
If your
furniture is getting old or worn you should invest in patio furniture for that
space.
You can
purchase patio furniture almost anywhere these days including stores like
Walmart and even Big Lots.
Tip –
When buying patio furniture don’t be afraid to make a statement and choose a
colorful umbrella or chairs since this will also add color to that space.
#3 – Stain the Wood or
Concrete
Last of
all, but most important, if your patio is made of concrete or wood you should
consider staining it because, a stain will preserve your patio longer and
improve the look of it as well.
