A Picture Gallery of Outdoor Patio Designs

Recipe for an instant small garden and patio: take two colorful folding metal chairs, a small outdoor rug, and a rolling cart / side table. If your deck or patio space is limited, don't try to force an oversized chair or table into the setting, even if you just love that deep-cushion wicker chair. It's only going to make your small space appear - and actually become - smaller.

Here, everything is in proportion and works well together, making it a place you actually want to use and enjoy.
