I’ll show you how to create two outdoor seatings areas in a small space today. I love having an eating area and a cozy spot to enjoy a glass of wine.
I’ve always liked the idea of having two outdoor seating areas. A table and chairs to eat and another area where you can sit and relax with a glass of wine.
My outdoor area isn’t the biggest and quite frankly it was ugly. It was just a concrete slab until we painted it to look like an outdoor rug.
By just using a small corner of this patio area, I was able to define a nice outdoor seating area where I could enjoy a glass of wine after dinner.
I wanted seats that were comfy but not overpowering for the area. To define the space I shimmied the outdoor dining table over a bit to the other side and used the corner of the patio area to create a cozy area for two.
I chose these two Medan Graphite lounge chairs. They are made from a durable synthetic wicker and have a powder coated aluminum frame. I don’t have a covered area in my backyard and I live in North Vancouver which means is rains more than it doesn’t rain!
I love that the chairs have the look of rattan but can withstand the weather!
They are even extra cozy with some faux fur sheepskins that I already had in my house.
To make the cozy seating area more cohesive, I added a tea cart with planted herbs. I also added some mossy branches to a demijohn. You can see how I made them in this tutorial.

Hey Jamie,
You have a very nice patio and you have managed in a very nice way. I just loved the decoration you have done with plants on that patio table. It’s just awesome.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you. I’m really enjoying this space.
Hugs, Jamie
We have a “hangout” area and an eating area on our back deck too, and it really does make such a difference! Love those gorgeous chairs you chose!!

I’m reading this a few days after publishing – love the cosy sitting area but I really need a shed! Would you mind telling me where yours hails from? Thank you!
I got it at Home Depot, Wendi. They delivered it in a huge box to my house but it needs to be assembled.
Hugs, Jamie
Love it! I am always looking for more ideas to create multiple seating/conversation/etc. areas in our yard. People always gather in clusters, so more areas for that is always needed! And the pieces you chose are gorgeous!
Thanks, Jenna! Love that I have multiple seating areas now.
Hugs, Jamie
