Very nice. I would get a bench or an outdoor loveseat to go in front of the window. Probably a side table to go with it. A rug. String lights on the ceiling would be really cool too.

Tiling the floor will look really nice. Some sort of counter or table will add definition to the space. I've seen lovely pieces of furniture made from pallets. It really works well on patios

That was my thoughts also I didn't think of a rug though. I have to add my cushions and pillows to my chairs. Should I string lights on ceiling area. I was thinking of replacing ceiling light with modern candler. I have more lanterns also. I work at pier1 part time just for fun and to buy and get my discount lol

Mar what type of tile would you use

This is my pallet furniture I made.

I like the ceiling fan or chandelier idea. If it's hot or you have a lot of bugs, then I would get a fan. I would string the lights around the sides, probably just on the open walls. String lights are really nice for a party

You have a beautiful space! I love the pallet furniture!

I'd get an indoor/outdoor rug to anchor the space

B651. Thank you! I love my pool area we are still working on it. this was a foreclosure and we have completely had to do entire house including pool

Tiling the floor would be really nice, but just painting will make a huge difference. I'd take down those curtain. panels, as they enclose the space, and I'd like the eye to have movement outward. If you like the panels for privacy, add planting at the property line to achieve your needed privacy. Also, you have too many small things. Consider the true use of this space and plan seating accordingly. Yes to a ceiling fan.

Good luck!

At the moment I jut put lanterns out there and other thing tying to get idea of what might look good.

I agree with removing the drapes, doing something with the floor (rug would be easiest or painting it or both) and adding some larger pieces ie a table or bench, string lighting and overhead fan. Add a few larger plants/trees. Try looking up budget porch makeovers on google or pinterest for ideas

The lanterns look nice grouped liked you have the white ones, but you still need a variety of scales for real interest.

Add some colorful planters, narrow and tall. Use shade tolerant plant material. under the overhang. Try using reds and browns for planter colors to compliment the existing brick wall.

A rug would be nice and so much more comfy for bare feet out by the swings!

You have a wonderful space!!! I, too, would prefer it without the curtains. I love all of your lanterns. I would remove the two matching white cylinders. They seem out of sync in your space.

i would start with a great indoor/outdoor carpet before going any further.

You could overlay a brick patio under the entryway using an 1-3/8" thick clay paver that matches your brick walls. Cheap and simple DIY project over concrete. All you need is roofing felt, masonry adhesive, pavers and a little sand.

Have you thought about the technology considerations? When you're creating, you could include outdoor lighting and speakers.

We do have a outdoor speaker system out there.
