54 Fabulous Outdoor Seating Ideas For A Cozy Home

If you have plans to spruce up your outdoor area, here are some handy tips to help you do it:
Layout and Design
It’s important to think about how you will use the space when putting together the garden of your dreams. Whether it’s a social hub for family and friends, a place to retreat, or a place for the kids to play outside, the purpose will help determine the design.

You can follow a theme for a real impact. You could design your garden area with a casual or formal ambience. You may want to create an urban oasis. You may want a country garden. You could even take on an international approach such as a French parterre garden, an Asian tropical look or a backyard full of natives.

In a small courtyard or on a balcony, removing clutter helps. Make sure each furniture piece, plant, pot and decorative element has a purpose.

Plants
You could use a tall fast-growing plant as a focal point in the garden. If you want to create an illusion of height, position smaller plants around this tree. This will help make the garden look more expansive.
