When it comes to integration among people with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, no other city on earth comes close to Sacramento. If you are planning to redo your patio sometime soon, why not go eclectic with a well-traveled design scheme and celebrate the multicultural identity of the city? Begin by choosing your options for Sacramento patio covers and build a design aesthetic that would work around its size, material and color. The usual patio cover designs have a very Spanish and Mediterranean appeal; these designs work very well with the organic and exotic undertones of an eclectic collection. Sleeker and more modern options are available too if you intend to veer towards a modern or zen aesthetic. In decorating any room with Arabic, Indian, and Oriental touches, it is very easy to get overwhelmed with two design elements: patterns and colors. The key to getting just the right amount of patterns is to ensure that the bolder ones are much more limited in comparison to the simpler ones to function as focal pieces in the space. A theme— such as geometric shapes, lines, florals or animal prints— could unify individual pieces to create a cohesive look. It's also acceptable, however, to put louder, bigger or more intricate patterns that break the uniformity to make a statement. Having a motif that is represented in the walls or flooring, fabrics, furniture to decorative pieces is also a way to have a pattern that's not really one in the strictest sense. Color themes, on the other hand, should not clash with each other and must complement the surroundings. Outdoors on your patio, colors should blend with (if not create) an interesting contrast to more permanent features of your patio such as the vegetation, the furniture and especially your home exterior. This applies if you are not willing to renovate the portion facing your patio, in order to accommodate its style. Also take note of the natural and artificial lighting when setting up your patio so it can be versatile and look as interesting during daytime as it does by night. If you love the view of the outdoors but prefer an enclosed space which can act as an extension to your home, you might want to build a sunroom instead.
