10 Backyard Patio Ideas Every Myrtle Beach Homeowner Should Consider

Home with furniture patio

Whether you’re a snowbird or a year-round resident, living in sun-drenched Myrtle Beach is a dream come true. And as a homeowner, you love to spend as many hours as you can outdoors.

It doesn’t matter if you’re relaxing or entertaining, you crave comfort on your patio and in your backyard. If you’re looking for some tips on how to design your space, here are 10 backyard patio ideas to last all summer long and beyond.

1. Enclosed Patio With Voiles and Plants

An enclosed patio protects from the elements. And hanging beautiful sheer voiles give an elegant look to your patio. Encircle them around the space to create a flowing wall. Tie the voiles in a knot for a great effect. 

This will also give them weight so they don’t blow all over on windy days or nights. Another elegant touch is to decorate the patio with chandelier lights. They glimmer in the evening.

It’s so romantic! Add some lanterns with tealights for a glittering effect and punctuate the area with plants and you’re set.

2. Dramatic and Colorful Patio

Another backyard patio idea is to install a hanging chair. It can be an egg chair or a romantic bench that’s perfect for couples. You can choose designs out of wicker, rattan, or a natural cane style. 

Now you need a colorful floor. Try a bright blue geometric print, or perhaps a stunning vibrant green for some natural happiness. Coordinate the look with vivid green and blue cushions on a sofa.

Or if you’re looking for extra vibrance, go orange. It will also add warmth with the backdrop of flickering lanterns. For a modern look, get a frame of black furniture for extra drama.

3. Boho Chic-Inspired Patio

Boho chic presents a relaxed vibe. It is known for mixing an array of patterns and colors that go together. Choose different sized stripes the same color for your cushions. Then add rugs in different sizes and hues.

Throw in a Moroccan pouf or two for a traditional bohemian look and feel. The idea with boho is to be organic. Use organic cotton fabrics, spread around plants everywhere. 

Get some throw blankets for cool, breezy nights, add some accent chairs, bowls, candlesticks, and knick-knacks. Pendant lighting adds a nice ambiance along with woven fabrics and tapestries. 

4. Go Warm and Inviting With a Wooden Deck 

A wooden deck is a warm, inviting idea for your backyard patio space. And it makes a great patio statement. It can create a classic or contemporary look.

Your backyard patio design will appear elegant and comfortable. A good centerpiece is an outdoor fireplace. 

Arrange your furniture for all to enjoy the warm embers during those cool nights. Curl up with a book on your favorite chair. Place a settee with cushions for an intimate, classic look.

A swinging bench is a romantic idea for couples. No matter the seating you choose, a wooden deck will look amazing on your patio while offering a great space for entertaining.

5. Give Me Shelter

When you’re looking to shelter your family and friends from mother nature’s temperamental moods, choose a solid roof for the most protection. It will shield everyone from the rain.

Another design is a pergola canopy. Pergola canopies create a beautiful outdoor statement. And they provide practical protection by shielding you from shade and light. Pergola canopies look great punctuated with plants. Place your plants between wooden beams for extra drama. 

6. Huge Outdoor Rug as a Focal Point

A beautiful large rug makes a nice focal point for your backyard patio design. Choose your furniture to match the colors in the rug. For something, modern go with a geometric print. But if you’re not into the trendy look, choose a paisley print.

You can find many rugs at reasonable prices online. And many present a rich, high-end look. It’s a large scale that makes the difference.

If there are three colors in the rug, design a consistent color scheme to match. Add elements like statues and plants around the patio for some extra expression

7. Composite Decks: A Durable, Sustainable, Low Maintenance

A composite deck is a beautiful and practical choice for your backyard patio. Composite decks are durable and easy to maintain due to their construction. To add, they resist scratching, fading caused by the sun, and they rarely crack or warp.

Composite decking material keeps insects at bay compared to wood and your kids won’t get splinters. Another great benefit to these decks is their sustainability.

They’re made from reclaimed and recycled materials. So you know you’ll be doing your part to save the planet.

8. Beachy Outdoor Grilling Station Paradise

When you’re in Myrtle Beach, sand and water are everywhere. Why not decorate your patio in a nautical or coastal theme. Place flip flops, seashells, and surfboard artwork or hang a surfboard on the wall.

A state-of-the-art grill makes a fabulous impression for entertaining. Choose a concrete countertop with matching stainless steel to say wow!

9. Bring Nature Indoors

When your patio is close to your sliding door, bring nature indoors seamlessly. Plantlife on your patio will make it appear like you’re outdoors when you’re inside.

For an organic look, choose organic cotton and green cushions with or without leaves on them. For an elevated look, remodel one area up high. You’ll get a bird’s eye view to the rest of your backyard.

10. Downton Abbey-Inspired English Garden Patio

English gardens add so much elegance to a patio and backyard landscape. They create an ambiance of serenity and tranquility. You’ll feel like you’re on the set of Downtown Abby.

To create the look, add a couple of fountains, put in a pond, or a birdbath. You’ll love to watch the birds splash.

It’s a great experience for the kids as well as adults. And don’t forget to plant a plethora of roses hydrangeas, and other plants all around your garden.

Outstanding Reviews

Brooks was my contractor on the project. He was awesome! He was there with me every step of the way! Eugenia was very helpful in the office and assisted me in getting the HOA approval. Jason explained the warranty process and even brought me a cake!

Laura C Owens

Everyone we came in contact with was very cooperative and easy to work with. It was a pleasant experience from the first online chat. They listened to us and helped solve any issues we were concerned about

Robert Freemon

Wow, this company goes above and beyond. From the very first reach out to the very last interaction once the job was completed. Everything was done first class. The quality of work, the constant communication and level of service was like nothing I’ve ever experienced with any contractor. I priced out a couple different contractors compared to contractor exteriors and I will tell you I would have paid more just to have this experience with them. I had Jonathan as my project manager and he was exceptional.

Natalie Bodie

Very happy with our new Timbetech front porch deck and steps with AZEK facia and risers. Everyone at CE was responsive and very professional explaining every step in detail! We have several homeowners in our community who have already asked for contact info info. Jonathan is a very good project manager and ensured we were satisfied with the quality, cleanliness, and appearance of our new front porch! Thank you!

In choosing a company to replace our deck, we researched and decided to use Contract Exteriors. We definitely made the right choice. We are very pleased with the results. Special thanks to Brooks, our Project Manager, who kept us updated and informed everyday.

Lisa Rusko

Contract Exteriors did a great job for me. The entire group was very responsive, and my deck project turned out fantastic. My project, as all projects, had some surprises that were handled professionally and promptly. Randy, Brooks, and the office staff were great throughout the process. They proactively kept me informed on the status of the project. I never had to call twice to get a question answered or ask for an accommodation.

Steve Bruno

We couldn't be happier with contract exteriors and the job they did. Our beach house looks brand new with the new Hardie board and white trim. EVERYONE was friendly, well mannered, professional, and was always ready to answer any questions that we had. Miguel and his crew did an excellent job. Brooks the project manager was wonderful, and also Chad who helped us from the very beginning, also the girls in the office. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Terri Holt

This company did an amazing job on my siding project. From start to finish they were very professional, helpful, and on time. Eugenia clearly communicated the whole process to me before they even started the project and Brooks was always available to answer my questions. He even came and ensured the cleanup was perfect and finished up the exterior lighting. Even after the project was finished this company ensured communicated to ensure everything was perfect. Super pleased. Thank you!

Jessica Skarote

Everything about this group was extremely professional. Renovations can be challenging but they carefully made sure that their products and our original structures fit together seamlessly. We are truly looking forward to our new elegant deck that will be essentially maintenance free for many, many years. We will definitely use this company for future projects.

Elizabeth Sharpe

Matt Kuzdrall made our whole experience of purchasing two new roofs for our buildings at the Children's Recovery Center so easy. Matt was professional and had all the answers to any questions we had. He has followed up since our new roofs have been installed to make sure everything is still great. Matt is awesome and I would recommend him to anyone I know looking for a new roof.
