How to Create Two Outdoor Seating Areas in a Small Space

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.

Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy some wine in my new cozy seating area.

 

I hope you enjoyed this post on how to create two outdoor seating areas!

    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.

    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 got it at Home Depot, Wendi. They delivered it in a huge box to my house but it needs to be assembled.

    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!

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you?

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it?
