FAQs

How to arrange furniture on a small patio?
There are several ways to arrange patio furniture; the best will depend on the shape and layout of your small patio. We recommend utilizing corners instead of centralizing your largest pieces, which can make a space feel cramped. Placing furniture around the perimeter makes a small patio feel and appear larger.
What is considered a small patio?
In general, a patio is considered small if it's under 100 square feet. However, this will depend on where you live and the size of your patio compared to your home and surrounding property: A large, enviable patio in Manhattan would likely be considered quite small in rural North Carolina or a Texas suburb.
How do you make a small patio look cozy?
Focus on texture, decor, and lighting to make your small patio look extra comfy and cozy. Plush blankets and pillows, twinkling fairy lights, performance rugs, and potted palms or tall feathery grasses are all easy, inexpensive ways to up the cozy factor in your already-snug space.
What material is most weather-resistant for patio furniture?
HDPE is highly weather-resistant and can handle a range of climates, withstanding hot summer sun, wind gusts, humidity, heavy rainfall, snow storms, and salty air. Beyond its unrivaled durability, it's easy to clean, won't rust, and doesn't require refinishing.

How to Choose Outdoor Furniture For Small Spaces

Patio furniture for small areas doesn’t have to be limited to flimsy lawn chairs, mismatched tables, and humdrum accents. With just a little planning and perfect-fit patio furniture, you can maximize a minimal floor plan for comfortable outdoor living.

First, you’ll want to assess your outdoor area (terrace, patio, deck, porch, etc.) and determine how you envision using it. Are you a social butterfly who often hosts outdoor dinners and soirées, or do you prefer hanging solo and small, casual gatherings?

The next step is to identify what types of furniture you need based on how you plan to use the space most. (Versatility is key here.) A dining table and chairs can be used for sit-down meals, game nights, working from home, and crafting. Deep seating and a coffee table work best for happy hours, shared snacks, and curling up together for the Sunday morning crossword. An Adirondack set plus a small side table is great for coffee breaks, cloud gazing, and sunbathing.

Finally, measure your outdoor space and map it onto grid paper, making sure to maintain the ratios of the area in your diagram. Using the same proportions to estimate the size of your furniture, color in shapes of the outdoor furniture you want and see how it fits in your drawing, designating free space for people to maneuver through the room as well. As an example, a small space outdoor dining set will probably start at 7x7 feet to comfortably seat four people, plus at least two to three feet of clearance around the perimeter.

Design Inspiration for Small Spaces

With stylish, high-quality patio furniture, you really can do more with less. Here are some of our favorite ways to style a small space, whether your aesthetic leans traditional, modern, or somewhere in between.

More Tips for Styling Small Outdoor Spaces:

· Stackable chaises and folding chairs can be easily rearranged or stowed away when you need extra space.

· Utilize vertical space with tall, multi-shelf side tables or potting benches.

· Look for multifunctional furniture like console tables or benches with hidden interior storage.

· Small space outdoor seating can include sleek benches or gliders, or slim chairs designed to fit in cramped areas.

· Backless benches are perfect for small spaces, tucking into underused corners or sweet petite gardens.

· Beyond their intended use, deep seating ottomans can double as extra seating or landing place for phones, SPF, and a stack of magazines.

· Room dividers and tall plants can help visually break up a small space and add privacy.
