Not everyone has a large patio, but every outdoor patio should be respected, no matter how large or small it is.
This post will give tips on picking small patio furniture, making your outdoor patio livable and a pleasure to see.
Consider the function of the patio
When you are looking for small patio furniture, let’s clarify what you want the patio for.
A front door sitting area where you can enjoy the sunset on a sunny day or enjoy the rain view on a rainy day?
A reading nook where you can sit comfortably and quietly to enjoy reading a book?
A dining space where you can enjoy an outdoor meal with your family in good weather?
A garden area where you can sunbathe, have a BBQ, or have a wonderful dinner party with friends?
Or do you want a multi-functional outdoor space?
Write down your outdoor patio layout plan
Once you decide on the function of the patio, you can go to the following steps:
- Write down your outdoor patio layout plan to calculate where you will put the small patio furniture. This step can help you to decide whether to choose a patio chair and outdoor dining set or a bistro set.
- Write down the roadmap of your patio; sometimes, this can help you decide on the shape of the small patio furniture.
Consider the patio environment
Because small patio furniture is placed outside, you must consider the patio environment. This step will help you to decide:
- The materials of small patio furniture are you going to pick? For example, in a strong wind environment, you should choose those made with heavy-weight material. For the frequently rainy climate, you should select those with water-proof advantages. For a strong sunshine environment, you should pick small patio furniture that can withstand long sunshine, etc.
- Are there any extra accessories needed? Like sun umbrella, pergolas or others? To create a better outdoor space while protecting your small patio furniture at the same time.
- Which color of small patio furniture should you pick to match your outdoor patio environment decors?
Choose the small patio furniture styles
Here we will give some examples of small patio furniture for your reference.
- An outdoor reading nook
If you want to enjoy reading alone, then to create a reading nook, one or two patio chairs like rocking chairs and outdoor club chairs to couple with a small patio table will do. Or, you can pick a patio chair with wide armrests to put your books and cups.
- A front door sitting area
Consider a small outdoor sofa set or a patio loveseat with a table if your front door space is rectangular. You can consider a round-shaped sofa set if the front door area is square.
- Nesting patio furniture
We have to say nesting patio furniture is a perfect kind of small patio furniture. It can fulfill your demand when put out, but it can also save space when taken in.
- Patio dining area
If you want to enjoy dinner with your family outdoors, you can choose an outdoor dining set.
- Fire table
The fire table is excellent for outdoor winter and BBQ dinner parties.
