We want to give you some ideas and practical tips so that you can breathe new life into your small outdoor area and make the most of your outdoor space
Built-in furniture is in!
Built-in furniture and suitable lighting are recommended if there is a lack of space
Obviously, space is the biggest problem on a small garden patio. But it is precisely this that stimulates us to be more creative and allows us to find unconventional solutions. For example, a bench was built in this modest courtyard. This gives you enough space for a generous table in the middle. Tall trees and built-in wall lights suppress any oppressive feeling.
Make use of the materials you already have in the house and garden
An old stone slab gives this cozy outdoor seating area additional charm
When designing your small roof terrace, you don’t have to make a lot of effort, but rather look around for old materials that are still usable. This large stone table top is authentic and brings a romantic flair to the small seating area under the vines.
Play with the rules

In such an atmosphere everyone would have wonderful hours in the open air, wouldn’t they?
