With the hot weather meaning many of us have had the opportunity to get out into our gardens, what better way to enjoy the summer months than by spending time in a stylish patio area?

When it comes to home and garden design, there’s no denying that Pinterest is one of the go-to platforms for inspiration.  With many of us looking for design ideas and style tips, windows and doors specialists, Genesis, have revealed the most pinned patio designs on Pinterest this summer.

1. Beachy Vibes - 16,977 pins

The most pinned patio on Pinterest, with a grand total of 16,977 saves, features a natural, beach theme including a bright patio, proving that you don’t need a sprawling garden to pull off a chic and cosy décor outdoors. The use of natural materials, light and a dominant white scheme makes the setting serene and calm with a Mediterranean twist.

If the area you’re working with is on the smaller side, add a selection of plants to make use of the space. The addition of a stylish umbrella or shade will also instantly add more personality.

2. Modern Bohemia - 10,607 pins

Nothing screams comfort and cosiness like a combination of chunky knits and textured accessories. When the late summer nights start to cool, there’s nothing better than cosying up and enjoying the last rays of sunshine over a glass of wine.

To really nail the trend, stick to layering cushions and throws in complimentary shades, for an effortless and sleek look. The addition of an outdoor rug adds further detail to the look, with the swinging egg chair a suitable final touch for the ultimate in outdoor bohemia.

3. Shabby Chic - 7,150 pins

With sustainability a pivotal topic today, focusing on green spaces and upcycling old furniture are hugely popular trends seen across Pinterest and beyond. While incorporating greenery into outdoor spaces is a popular way of supporting the eco-system, the way plants are styled within such spaces differs greatly.

When thinking of Summer, pastel shades and natural textures often spring to mind. A combination of pastel pinks and twinkling fairy lights creates a soft and romantic outdoor space, perfect for enjoying outdoor time with loved ones.

For an informal look, take inspiration from summer parties by incorporating a selection of paper lanterns. Lanterns are a cost-effective way to take your outdoor space from day to night and look great clustered together alongside more traditional fairy lights.

A stylish combination of umbrella tassels, shades of white and unique patterns take inspiration from The Great Gatsby, whilst the addition of a modern egg chair brings the trend right up to today. Egg chairs are a huge garden trend for 2021, as a fantastic way to create the ultimate outdoor relaxation spot.
