How to Maximize Your Small Patio

Make the most of space in your small patio, by creating the feel of an outdoor room between your house and the seating area you create. Start by placing a seating area across a perimeter corner to maximize space and create the feel of a room. Small patios may rule out garden spaces, but the use of garden planters and adding tall, narrow hedges of lush provides greenery and privacy. This outdoor room design adds a few chinese garden stools as tables, with outdoor pillows that add color and soften the look as well as providing inviting comfort. A shade umbrella is a must for daytime shade and night time cover. The center table becomes your "coffee table". The addition of ground-cover plants in this patio are cleverly added to edges of and within the patio itself, to frame the space and add as much foliage texture as possible.
