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.

Coco

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
