Before the renovation, Ali’s tiled terrace featured two simple chairs and a bare floor. But a few cosmetic updates —including a new rug, sofa, and greenery —transformed it into anInstagram-worthy outdoor spacefit for entertaining or relaxing.

Think it’s time to update your own patio? See Makk’s tips for recreating the look in your home below.
Find a Great Indoor/Outdoor Rug“To make the space feel like a room and ground your furniture, purchase a slightly oversized rug. We picked a simple, clean rug so that the accent colors could really pop.”
Add Curtains (Yes, Outdoors!)“Floor to ceiling linen curtains allow you to control the breeze and add an additional layer of texture. We usedYelpto find a professional contractor to help install these curtains.”
Mix Wood Textures“Mixing woods helps to create a more relaxed and bohemian feel. Consider adding wood with a coffee table, wicker and wooden furniture or even wooden pots.”
