Tuscan Patio Styles

Tuscan themed patios exude romance and enchanting nostalgia for the warmth of the Tuscan sun.

The Tuscan patio embraces the natural elements of stone and wood in their rustic forms and the earthy colors of the Tuscan farms. A water fountain is traditionally the focal point of a Tuscan Patio, while tall, elegant dark green cypress trees epitomize the Tuscan landscape. Wrought iron dining tables and chairs are the traditionally outdoor dining decor and the use of large rustic terra cotta urns make their Tuscan statement all the more enchanting. The patio stone of choice is a natural irregular-shaped, flat stone, typically flagstone.

This beautiful tuscan patio incorporates the elements of tuscan style with the use of large ochre-colored planter urns, which echo the ochre farmhouses on the rolling Tuscany hills. The urns' bases are wrought iron, another Tuscan styling. Albeit, it is missing some of the styling of a traditionally Tuscan theme patio, which would use irregular shaped flat stones as opposed to brick pavers, stylish Cypress trees and a traditional wrought iron table and chairs instead of the modern styling, as seen here.

Traditionally the water fountain is the centerpiece of a Tuscan patio, however, many are opting for a stone fireplace instead. It really comes down to personal preferences.
