August 7, 2009, Newsletter Issue #253: Patios - tips to make a patio appear larger

Tip of the Week

To make a small patio appear larger, when building, avoid using glaring colors. Pave with smaller brick, tile, or stone to accent size comparisons. Create variety with new levels, raised planters, and steps that lead the eye upward, increasing the illusion of space. Try keeping fences low if possible to carry the eye beyond the property line.
