Even if you have a limited space in your patio or
deck, you can still create a great place to relax.
Here are a few hints on how to go about choosing
your furniture pieces for your small patio or deck.
To enjoy a small patio, you need to measure its size
first. When you have taken your patio’s
dimension, you can calculate the size of the furniture that you need. You can check online furniture sites and choose
the furniture pieces. However, make sure
to get the measurement of the furniture.
Mark your patio furniture placement by making a
diagram on the floor using the measurements of the furniture pieces that you
have. Use a masking tape to mark the
areas. When you are done with it, stand on
one side and check if you have adequate space for other pieces and walkway.
Instead of using the standard patio tables, settle
for a patio bar set. It is more
practical as it saves you on space and functional as well. The bar set comes with either a rectangle,
round or square table. Get one that has
cabinets and shelves so you can put in your stock inside them. They also come with bar stools; hence, you
are sure that they complement each other.
Another alternative is the miniature patio tables with chairs similar to
those used in cafés. Foldable tables are
also best options.
Pair your miniature tables with one grouping of
chairs. Select chairs without arms to
free more space. Foldable chairs would
be a good choice. Like the foldable
tables, they are easy to set up. You can
also add a 2 or 3 more bar stools. Use garden
benches to add extra seating on small patios.
Choose benches with hinged lids so you can use it for storage.
If your patio is narrow, choose narrow patio furniture
pieces. A rectangle shape table will fit
against a wall so you get to have more space.
The shape and style are not the only features that
you need to look into but also the color.
The color can either make your small patio or deck smaller or
bigger. Light- colored furniture will
make it look bigger compared to dark-colored ones.
A big patio or deck would always be a welcome treat
to any family. However, the high cost of
property has encouraged homeowners to live in small abodes. The small space though need not stop anyone
to have a comfy and relaxing patio. With
modern furniture offering more practicality and functionality, your small patio
will still look big!
