Building A Luxurious Patio

When it comes to designing and building a luxurious patio, there is no limit to what you could achieve. Anything you imagine can be made using a wide array of different materials. The image we’ve attached to this post was taken at the Playboy Mansion a few years ago. It seems that Mr Heffner understands the importance of a good outdoor space, and that is why he spent more than $300,000 to have it built. This guide will fill you in on some of the things you might want to consider when following suit. At the end of the day, a luxurious patio is the best place to chill out with your friends and family this summer.

Choose your materials wisely


There are lots of different types of stone and brick that are suitable for luxury patio designs. However, you should look towards spending a small fortune if you want the best results. Stones in sand colours are very popular because they help to give the illusion you are somewhere else. In Australia, many people choose red brick as it tends to look good. The decision is down to you. Just make sure you shop around and ensure your chosen supplier can deliver the material quickly.

Add a water fountain

Building a backyard water fountain is not as complicated as it sounds. Sure, you could buy one from your local specialist, but where is the fun in that? Those of you who want the most luxurious patio areas imaginable will benefit from creating a bespoke piece. All you need is the right materials and a couple of pumps. There are even some fish known to enjoy the fast flowing water, and so you could add them into the mix.

Build a barbecue

There are lots of important patio design considerations you will need to make. The most serious of which related to the location of your barbecue. There is simply no point in building a luxurious patio area if you don’t intend to cook outside from time to time. For the best aesthetic, you should use the same material selected for the rest of your patio. That way, the barbeque should blend into its surroundings and remain unnoticed until you want to use it.

Think about lighting

The way in which your patio is illuminated at night will make a big difference to have it is perceived. So, it’s wise to get some outdoor spotlights as soon as possible. Don’t make the mistake of sticking with standard white bulbs though. You could light your patio is blues and greens if you want it to look fantastic in the evening. Those colours are perfect for creating a relaxed and upmarket atmosphere.
