If you need to inject some new life into a dull old patio or your garden furniture is a bit faded and drab, try some new patio cushions for an instant brightening effect. Not only will your patio look so much better you'll be more comfortable sitting on your outdoor furniture too.

Patio cushions are made in many different shapes and sizes to suit all kinds of outdoor furniture so you shouldn't have any trouble getting some great cushions to fit your furniture.

However it's important to have a vision in your mind of how you want your patio to look before you start choosing cushions so that your cushions tie into your idea of the ideal patio.

You could go for a look which is fresh and spring like or one which suits a tropical pool-side area. You might prefer a classic look with striped or plaid fabrics or the rusty shades of fall.

And for the undecided you can choose neutral shades such as cream or beige!

Once you have chosen your cushions, here are a few other ways to get your patio looking good.

1. Always have something in bloom around the patio area. The easiest way to do this is to use pots of flowers. Ring the changes with new flowers as the old ones die off and the seasons change. If you have room you can keep tubs of seasonal flowers and bulbs in an out of the way place in the garden and bring them out each year as soon as they start to bloom.

2. A few extra pillows and a throw or two will help brighten up your patio furniture even further and add to your comfort. If you chose a patterned fabric for your patio cushions pick out one of the colors from the pattern for your accessories otherwise you can use a matching or contrasting color with plain patio cushions.

3. Think about adding a focal point for your outdoor room in the same way as you might want a fireplace in a lounge area. Consider adding a solar powered water feature to the area or perhaps something simple like a group of large potted palms or other exotic plants or a chiminea.

4. Add some wind chimes on a shepherd's hook for soft gentle sound while you relax.
