Restaurants are masters at creating outdoor spaces we want to linger in. Cherry pick the decor trick that will transform your patio.
Cibo on 17th, Calgary
For a treetop effect when there are no trees, hang planters all around a fence or railing the way they did at Cibo on 17th in Calgary.
El Catrin in the Distillery District, Toronto
Bring an interior touch to the outdoors with a bold lampshade, like at El Catrin in Toronto.
Good Robot on Robie Street, Halifax
Astroturf, like it’s used here at Good Robot Brewery in Halifax, adds low-maintenance green underfoot. It’s a quick way to hid concrete paving stones.
The Three Speed on Bloor Street, Toronto
Brighten up a plain wall with a bold colour, like at The Three Speed in Toronto.
Vieux-Port Steakhouse, Montreal
With plants everywhere, Vieux-Port Steakhouse in Montreal, feels like an oasis. At home, use multiples hanging ferns and potted palms or boxwood to achieve your own green retreat.
