The best patio design works with your home's existing style rather than against it. Here's how to think through material and layout choices for a Wellington property.
Matching Your Home's Character
Period properties in Wellington often suit natural stone finishes like Indian sandstone, while newer builds tend to work well with the cleaner lines of porcelain or resin. Think about the materials already used on your house — brick, render, stone — and choose a patio tone that complements them.
Practical Considerations
- Sun exposure through the day, to position seating areas well
- Proximity to doors and existing paths for easy access
- Drainage and ground levels, especially on sloped gardens
- Privacy from neighbouring properties if relevant
Size and Proportion
A patio that's too small feels cramped for entertaining, while one that's oversized can dominate a smaller garden. As a guide, allow enough space for furniture plus room to move around comfortably.
Bringing It Together
We're happy to bring material samples to your Wellington property so you can see how different options look against your house before deciding — a much better way to choose than looking at photos alone.
