Mediterranean Patio Design Ideas

A mediterranean patio combines the sun-drenched warmth reminiscent of coastal Italian and Spanish villas with a space designed for anyone with a hardscape outdoor area.

A patio typically features furniture, planters, shade structure, lighting. Container gardening and vertical space are your best friends in a patio.
