You deserve better than a thrown-together patio. We’re here to show you how.

Our professional designers at Synergy Outdoor Living are passionate about transforming ordinary spaces into places where families can relax and entertain. Whether you’re in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, or Sarasota, we’re here to help you maximize your outdoor enjoyment. Get inspired!
Designing Multi-Functional Outdoor Spaces
When designing a multi-functional outdoor space, we recommend defining separate zones for different activities. Consider a lounge area with comfortable seating, an open space for dining, and a dedicated corner for your grill station or outdoor kitchen. To add elements of comfort, opt for weather-resistant furniture and textiles that blend seamlessly with Florida’s natural beauty.
We also like to incorporate a fire pit or an outdoor fireplace as a focal point. Not only do these features offer warmth on cooler evenings, but they also serve as a gathering hub for socializing.
The integration of smart design elements like convertible furniture or pergolas can significantly enhance the usability of your space. These additions provide flexibility, allowing you to adapt the environment to various weather conditions and occasions.
And we can’t forget to mention water features. All you need is a fountain or waterfall to create a calming ambiance in your backyard. When accompanied by carefully selected native plants and comfortable seating, these elements create the tropical vibe that many homeowners are looking for.
Cooking & Entertaining
Built-in grills are designed to fit snugly into any space while offering all the functionality you need for entertaining. They allow you to prepare everything from juicy burgers to fresh seafood. Plus, with accessories like outdoor refrigerators and weatherproof cabinetry, you can maintain easy access to ingredients and kitchen essentials without cramping your style.
To maximize your patio, consider a layout where your built-in grill is conveniently positioned adjacent to your indoor kitchen. This setup makes it easy to move between preparation areas, streamlining meal service and minimizing clutter. Let your built-in grill be the centerpiece of your outdoor cooking space, perfect for cooking weeknight dinners or hosting larger celebrations with family and friends.
Outdoor Seating Options
Choosing outdoor seating is all about finding the balance between comfort and space optimization. When your goal is to create a welcoming environment, begin by thinking about the size and shape of your area. For smaller spaces, consider multi-functional furniture like benches with storage or compact bistro sets.
In more spacious settings, you have the flexibility to create distinct zones. Arrange sectionals to form an intimate conversation area or use loungers for a more laid-back vibe. Always think about the flow of movement, ensuring pathways are clear and inviting.
Regardless of your space, investing in high-quality outdoor furniture is key. Opt for durable materials and designs, like those from our partners at Sunset West, that withstand Florida’s variable weather.
Light Up the Night
Lighting truly has the power to transform your outdoor space, and the right choices can enhance the beauty and functionality of your surroundings.
Consider incorporating uplighting to accentuate your patio’s architectural elements or lush landscaping, casting shadows and highlights that add depth and character. Complement your design with path lighting to ensure safety and guide your guests as they navigate your outdoor area. Our partners at Garden Light LED have some beautiful options to choose from!
The key to great outdoor lighting is layering. Combine different types of lighting to create zones and provide flexibility. This allows you to control the mood and functionality of the space depending on the occasion.
Be Bespoke
It’s time to design the outdoor space you’ve always dreamed of—where every square foot of your outdoor space, big or small, can become a place for hosting BBQs or enjoying quiet evenings.
