Patio Furniture... Location is everything

If you were to look at your yard or garden areas with no patio furniture or accent pieces on it, which areas would stand out? What features really jump out at you? Is there a pond or water feature? Is the grass or flowers your best feature? Are trees what catches your eye?

Regardless of the answer, patio furniture can help transform those features into an even more spectacular focal point. A well placed hammock between two prominent trees can give your yard the wow factor. Wooden patio tiles leading to a water feature could really draw the eye to this wonderful spot of your yard. A well placed patio bench could be just the thing to say come and check out my green grass. An accent piece like a small medal sculpture or wind pointer will show visitors the beauty of whatever your yard has to offer.

There are so many things you can do with your patio furniture the possibilities are endless. Why not try to set a row of patio chairs in an unlikely place every once and a while to make yourself enjoy a new section of the yard? Setup a small patio table in the furthest point of your home will a small chair or stool so you can look back at the yard from a different vantage point. Rotate this table and chair to different locations. You will be surprised what you learn about your yard by looking at it from different views. This will work no matter the size of the yard you have.

The house, the birds, the bugs, the sounds, the sights will all appear different if you observe long enough. Why not give it a try? What’s the worst that could happen? This is the best and cheapest way to enjoy the same space and make it feel fresh and new.
