Look for a versatile collection in neutral colours, such as Pier 1 Imports'

Echo Beach Collection.This sectional can be arranged in more than 20 different ways, allowing you to arrange and rearrange to your heart's content.

To round out your furniture, consider the highly functional but often underrated garden stool. Place one in a quiet corner for meditative moments, pair them to create a one-of-a-kind coffee table or pull one up when you need an extra seat. As an added bonus, when cooler weather returns, you can pull your garden stool indoors for a sweet reminder of summer.

Investing in the right pieces will save you time and money in the long run. When you're ready for a new look, you can easily change the feel of your patio with accessories or a new brightly coloured accent piece, such as a tiled bistro table or outdoor Papasan chair. >>>

ACCENTYOUR STYLEOnce your furniture is in place, you've got a blank slate to play with and, most importantly, to accessorize. Accessorizing is where the decorating happens and your personal style shines through.

Add pillows, cushions, umbrellas, outdoor rugs and even outdoor curtains to your space, and what started as a dull patio will begin to transform into an extension of your home. To mix patterns like a pro, choose pillows and rugs in the same colour family, vary the scale of your patterns and introduce textures to ensure that they don't compete with each other.

Be sure to layer in treasures that are uniquely you - lanterns, wall decor, statues and windchimes to establish a space bursting with personality.

Remember, small changes can make a big impact. Refresh last year's patterns with the new trends, or simply add a few new accessories into your existing decor for a budget-friendly way to satisfy your urge to update.
