Having a functional space is just as important as having a beautiful one.
Think of where your patio entrance(s) are. Now think of the most frequent paths used to get around your backyard. These throughways should be unobstructed and flow naturally throughout your patio. We recommend a 3-foot clearance around your furniture pieces to ensure people can move around your space with ease.
Windows

When choosing a configuration, it's important to keeping your windows unobstructed. An open view allows more natural light to enter your home, creating a seamless flow between your indoor and outdoor areas. This design choice ensures you can fully enjoy your patio from inside and out.

Furnishing a Large Area
