In case you don’t want or can’t afford to invest a lot, you can give the patio a rustic feel. Consider putting up some wiring and hang light curtains from it to protect you from sun and mosquitos. Consider a wooden crate for a table and storage space and use some barrels for sitting. A cast iron bench with proper upholstery and some matching throw pillows can complete the look.

Wood All Over
