Bluestone patio ideas with backyard dining befoe and after by Decorilla

Aren’t patios a great way to enjoy the outdoors and entertain guests? That’s why a recent Decorilla client wanted to enrich her backyard with some bluestone patio ideas, giving it a unique character. Read on to see how her sundeck became an outdoor gathering place to enjoy for years to come!

The Challenge: Bluestone Patio Design

A bluestone patio is one of the shortcuts to add elegance and style to any backyard. In this case, it allowed the client to do more than just extend her outdoor living area to outside the veranda. It also provided a better opportunity to use some of the existing furniture, which was too big and bulky for the porch.  In short, she needed a skilled patio designer to:

  • Create practical outdoor dining ideas with a grill
  • Use a color scheme harmonious with the house’s exterior
  • Come up with a new patio design for the entire outdoor space
  • Incorporate a swinging egg chair and storage trunk into the new bluestone patio design
  • Establish a cozy but elegant backyard dining area

Comfortable, modern patio furniture composed each cozy seating area, mostly in neutral color palettes with occasional black accents. 

Initial Concepts: Finding the Right Designer

As a part of the Decorilla online interior design process, the team proposed two suitable designers who delivered their visions of a bluestone patio design with a backyard dining area. After reviewing both moodboards, the client decided to proceed with the concept by Aida A

Aida understood the full potential of the client’s patio design ideas. Based on the project briefing, she arranged a new seating scheme on the porch, more appropriate and scaled to convey balance. Moreover, the connection established between the porch and the sweeping patio erased the border between the two areas, making them look fully cohesive.

While visually fluid, each area of the patio design is functionally separated and defined. For example, the outdoor console table provides the perfect place to serve food and drinks while also discreetly dividing the dining from the lounging. It enhances the style as well as the hosts’ convenience during outdoor parties with family and friends.

Before the designer embodied their outdoor dining patio ideas, the backyard was full of unused potential. The path made of concrete slabs led to an empty area, disconnected from the porch and the rest of the house. The makeover put it to practical purpose, filing it with cozy, inviting vibes along the way. 

Keeping an Eye for Detail

The outdoor furniture ideas in this bluestone patio design include blending wicker sofa & chairs with a concrete coffee table – making a feature of light neutrals and weathered wood. This boosted the organic appeal while still maintaining the muted creams and blue accents as the color scheme. These choices also considered the Mid-Atlantic location, with materials both durable and weather resistant.

The dining section consists of a generous 8-place table ready for outdoor dinner parties. In addition, a large stand umbrella ensures the guests will be comfortable day or night.

Meanwhile, the cozy conversation area offers a more relaxed place to kick back with a drink of choice. Smartly clustered around the fireplace and completed with a variety of lanterns, candles, and overhead string lights, the ambiance promises many exquisite moments.

Unlike the spacious patio that needed to host an ample hub, the client’s porch was more suited to become an intimate spot for quiet relaxation or reading a book. In line with the requirements, the porch design comprises the existing egg swing chair along with the conventional seating and coffee table. The arrangement is finalized with a blue outdoor rug, braided ottomans, and sleek side tables, elevating the overall style as a result.
