Have you already packed away your patio furniture? Now you can decorate your patio differently. If you have built-in seats designed into the patio or retaining walls, place down some cushions for warmth and comfort. Otherwise, try putting in some bales of straw and cover them up with a blanket. A picnic table can also be a good addition when draped with a tablecloth. Decorate the table with candles or pinecones and help create a warm ambiance.

Natural Decorations
