European Style Outdoor Patio Ideas for Spring

March 29, 2023
  • Share

Do you ever search for a specific thing online and then somehow end up down a rabbit hole? Well…I just did that. I was looking for architectural inspiration. Specifically, beautiful greenhouse designs. I haven’t posted about a greenhouse in a while. Somehow during my search, I ended up virtually touring a London townhouse. And then a light bulb went off. I discovered incredible European-style outdoor patio designs. So today’s blog is going to be about bringing European styles to your own backyard. Spring is around the corner so why not spruce up our outdoor patios? But this time with a European twist. Check out some of my favorite European-style outdoor patio ideas below.

How To Bring European Style to Your Outdoor Patio?

Transforming your patio into a charming French garden isn’t as hard as you think. Style the patio by incorporating natural wooden furniture and natural stone. If you’re entertaining then add neutral linens and elegant white plates. Elevate your outdoor space with ceramic and stone vases full of wildflowers and a large bowl of oranges or deep purple figs. Grow lavender in pots for a heavenly scent. The key to a European-style outdoor patio is creating a warm and inviting space for friends and family to hangout.

Outdoor Lighting Ideas

Set the mood for your outdoor patio design. European-style lighting includes lanterns, string lights, glass, and curved shapes. It’s really all about the detail. Euro-style includes a more ornate design for a luxurious aesthetic. Creating a beautiful ambiance will help elevate a patio into a euro-style patio.

Outdoor Patio Chairs

Upgrading your patio chairs can make a huge difference. Unique European chairs that include wood or iron materials will create a romantic and serene space on your patio. Dress it up with whimsical flowers and a matching coffee table. Make sure to include cushions for maximum comfort. Remember this is a place you want to spend hours with friends and family. So make sure you prioritize comfort when selecting outdoor patio chairs.

French-Country Outdoor Furniture

Inspired by the traditional craftsmanship of French furniture makers, French-Country furniture has risen in popularity. People who seek out the rustic appeal and elegant charm for their outdoor space are investing in iron, wood, and wicker. These materials are perfect for creating a cozy and inviting outdoor space. Almost as if you’re in your own private French garden.

5. Intimate European Garden

A few years ago I redid my upper patio. It completely changed the way I entertain. I love sitting up there with my friends and sipping wine. It’s one of my favorite spots in my house. Or maybe it is my favorite spot! However. France is one of my favorite places in the world. I love exploring the French gardens. Nothing is more inspirational than traveling around Europe. I think I need to book a trip soon.

Xo,

Coco

Paris-inspired interiors just have a way of feelin Paris-inspired interiors just have a way of feeling effortless.
Classic moldings, soft light, and that perfect mix of old and modern pieces. It all just works.
If you could bring one Parisian detail into your home, what would it be? ✨

A masterclass in contemporary wedding event designA masterclass in contemporary wedding event design, every detail feels intentional, layered, and deeply personal.
Designed by @bychenai, a prolific and talented London based wedding and events planner, this wedding is a study in thoughtful design and artful creative direction. We say well done Chenai!
Long tables arranged in a maze-like formation created a striking design, while still allowing 350 guests to move throughout the space. A rich brown and gold palette brought warmth and depth, paired with refined tabletops and lush floral centerpieces.

Layered textiles, collected pieces, and a little bit of the unexpected create a home that feels personal and lived in.
Which detail would you start with first, the patterns or the palette? 🎨
