Conversely, a spacious deck looks its best with a larger grouping. Think about the number of people who will typically use the furniture. Don't forget the little ones either. You may think they never sit down, but the kids might appreciate a place just for them. If you plan on entertaining large groups, stackable resin chairs or folding lounge chairs store in a small space, ready for that garden party or family reunion.
Patio furniture is available in many styles from rustic to modern.
Treat your deck or patio as you would any other room in your home when decorating. Choose from cushions with colors as vivid or subdued as you like. Natural attributes, such as specimen plants or flower beds, can be incorporated into the color scheme. In addition to being outdoor living rooms, patios and decks are also transition zones into your outdoor landscape. Use plant beds or container gardens in coordinated pots to bring the garden to you.
