When choosing flooring for your outdoor patio, concrete is always a good idea. Smooth, versatile, affordable, and easy to maintain, a concrete patio can be made by pouring a concrete slab that can be tinted, textured, painted, or left alone to cure to a neutral gray finish that works in both traditional and contemporary settings. Here are some concrete patio ideas in a range of styles and sizes to inspire your outdoor space renovation.
Contrast with Wood Furniture

Concrete Block
While the idea of concrete block may bring something more rustic and rugged to mind. Another set of concrete blocks creates the foundation for a gathering space that allows guests to sit and relax—even the circular table is made of concrete.
Mix With Bold Furniture
A patio covered with large concrete pavers creates a neutral base that allows the palm print sofa, cactus garden, and Palm Springs landscaping of this backyard space to take center stage.
Smooth finish
Anything other than a plain, smooth concrete patio would look busy and compete with the other interesting elements of this patio. The lounge and dining spaces boasting a cool color palette make for a relaxing outdoor environment. Additionally, the concrete and grass edges seem to effortlessly blend into each other without any noticeable rift—a smooth, stunning transition.
