A beautifully decorated patio with veranda, or a rooftop, in today’s environment, the garden and the outdoors are an essential extension of our homes. Balancing the five essential elements of earth, fire, water, air and ether and interacting with nature along with some unique ideas not only makes our house vibrate with life but also brings the healing sensation of nature to our senses.

Lovingly detailed arches, artfully hand-carved with floral and leaf motifs enhance the view of the mountains at the lodge where we gather in the summer for a holistic rejuvenation of the spirit. Barn doors with earthy Tuscan vibes in the kitchen and the antique Indian gate that hugs the entrance to the garden, the outdoor patio renovation adds a new dimension to the home’s setting. The kitchen windows facing the mountains are accented with custom arches, the patina seeping deep into the wood over time, the carvings reminiscent of Mediterranean architecture, what an exciting time sunset or sunrise is.

Patio design with rustic decorating ideas is earthy and stunning as it blends in with nature. Carved jali panels are strategically placed so that the morning sun filters through and casts beautiful shadows on the walls. Potted plants are lush and neat. The music of the falling water behind the granite Buddha sculpture is so peaceful and zen. State of the art stainless steel BBQ and oven with the stone walls that have vines growing all over it is like cooking in a natural habitat but with modern luxuries.

The extra-long console table in dark teal with carved sunburst serves as storage for your cookware and linens. The seating is comfortable with plush easy chairs and an exotic antique brass door coffee table with camels adds the wow factor. Designed with earthy elegance, the veranda leads onto the acreage of nature, where we see a huge black granite elephant with its trumpet in the air, a beautiful symbol of good luck and strength.

Subdued tones with an earthy touch, antique cabinets with burnished patinas and vintage carvings serve wonderfully as coat closets in cold weather. A relaxing, homey atmosphere, the fireplace mantel made from antique architectural beams gives the veranda an old world cottage feel. Rustic, healing and softly sensual woods enchant your soul.
