Not to mention, with the money saved on installation and maintenance, you could enhance other parts of your outdoor living space with a concrete walkway or fire pit.
With stamped concrete patios there are plenty of design options to choose from that not possible without other patio materials. Concrete patios can be poured and stamped into any size, shape or pattern imaginable. Keep reading as we look at a few different stamped concrete patio ideas that will give your home the ultimate curb appeal.
Add a Decorative Border to Your Concrete Patio
Why not dress up your stamped concrete pattern with a colored border?
You will want to choose a border stain that compliments the color of your concrete patio, while at the same time has enough contrast to really stand out. If you have a fire pit or walkway connected to your patio, using the same decorative border around those elements is a unique and simple way to customize your patio design.
A Concrete Fire Pit is Great for Entertaining
Many homeowners are blurring the lines between their indoor and outdoor living areas by making their backyards as comfortable as the other rooms in their home. A stamped concrete patio is a perfect place to add a cozy fire pit for those summer gatherings.
Installing a fire pit creates more of a fun, campfire setting than an outdoor fireplace as seating is available all around the fire pit. Not to mention, the cost of a concrete fire pit will be significantly less than a traditional outdoor fireplace.
Stamped Concrete Medallions
With stamped concrete patios, the possibilities are just about endless. In addition to the various stamp patterns, colors and sizes, you can also add custom accent pieces such as medallions.
