Spring is finally here, and with it comes several amazing spring patio ideas. Texas families are already taking advantage of the sunshine and planning their outdoor patios.
But before you can truly enjoy the great outdoors in all of its glory, your yard, front porch and patio deserve some attention. There’s no better time than now to start spring cleaning your home from the inside out. The sooner you get started, the sooner you can get out there, sit in your favorite patio chair and see your spring patio ideas come to life.
Your outdoor living space, whether on your front porch or back patio, is a reflection of you and of the inside of your home. Here are a few suggestions for spring cleaning your outdoor space:
1. Give the yard some TLC
Before considering your options for redecorating or redesigning the front porch or patio, take a look around the yard. Take care of those lingering leaves, cut the grass and get the dirt and mulch ready for new bushes and blossoms.
This is the perfect foundational step to revamping your outdoor space. With a clean slate, you may feel more confident to enhance the rest of your living space.
2. Reassess your current front porch and patio set up
Now that you’re ready to make improvements to the entertainment areas, it’s important to decide whether you’ll work with your existing theme or start from scratch. If you have seating in the front, you may find it easier to change things up, as it’s likely a smaller space. If you’re spring cleaning a large back patio, you may decide to keep the old theme and simply add new decorative elements over time. As you start to move all the furniture and accessories from the shed or garage back onto the porch and patio, you’ll get a better sense of how you feel about your current setup and what you would like to add to your collection.

3. Revamp with new and improved outdoor furniture
If your patio furniture seems outdated, treat yourself to a new set. Spring cleaning doesn’t always have to involve actual cleaning; sometimes it means revamping with different statement pieces and accessories! Do you need to decorate outdoor living spaces? Take time to reassess your needs in terms of seating, entertainment options, decor and accessories and other small details that are necessary to complete the space. Perhaps this year you want to improve the comfort level around your patio — that could mean investing in an area rug and outdoor sectional, complete with outdoor throw pillows and blankets.
4. Maintain your outdoor space on a regular basis
Don’t let all of the efforts you put into spring cleaning go to waste. Make it a point to clean your outdoor living space regularly so you can enjoy it just as much on the last day of summer as you did on the first day of spring.
Make regular maintenance a top priority.
