Rustic Patio Design
This rustic looking patio may also fit well in the courtyard patio category because it is enclosed and surrounded by walls. In some settings, that alone will create the atmosphere of "courtyard" rather than patio.
While this patio picture would look a bit different in color, the black and white gives us the opportunity to see what gives patio ideas like these their old world element. Rough quarried stone rather than fabricated blocks, will naturally create a difference from modern to ancient or rustic. In landscaping and garden designs, one element can change or create the entire atmosphere of a garden or landscape. And these stone garden walls are a main deciding element in this design.
Wood plank flooring alone will give a primitive rustic atmosphere to a courtyard or patio. Combined with wooden furniture and the garden takes on a more hand made feel to it. There is no garden decor in this patio to create atmosphere so it all depends on the hardscape to do it.
