This design embraces clean lines and neutral palettes. Choose a pergola with simple, light-colored beams, perhaps painted a soft grey or white. The patio should mirror this simplicity with a concrete or flagstone surface. Incorporate sleek outdoor furniture with clean lines, such as a modern bistro set, and add pops of color with potted plants like succulents, herbs, or small flowering plants. This design creates a tranquil and sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or evening cocktails.
