By LandscapingDesignPro · Updated

A 100-square-foot patio works best when you choose one main job. Compare a dining nook, a two-person lounge, and a flexible layout before filling the space.

Make room for everyday dining — schematic layout

Make room for everyday dining

Start with a compact table and four movable chairs. Keep the route from the house along one edge instead of through the seating. Try the chairs pulled out, not tucked under the table, when you judge how much room remains.

Choose a lounge for two — schematic layout

Choose a lounge for two

Place two lounge chairs opposite the planting edge with a small shared table. This gives up a full dining setup in exchange for somewhere comfortable to read or talk. Keep tall containers in a corner so they do not narrow the entrance.

Keep the middle flexible — schematic layout

Keep the middle flexible

Use a bench against one edge and two lightweight chairs that can move. Leave the center open for changing uses. A large sectional may look inviting in a photo but can make a 10-foot patio feel like furniture with a path around it.

Before you choose

  • Measure the usable paved area, excluding steps and planting beds.
  • Mark the doorway swing and the route to the garden before placing furniture.
  • Use the actual furniture dimensions, including space to pull chairs out.
