Maximize space with functional furniture.
A cramped patio or balcony can be just as usable as a large backyard. Instead of a dining set or several chairs, have guests sit side-by-side on rustic outdoor benches around a low coffee table. Add greenery with hanging plants or choose smaller floor planters to save valuable space and make the patio appear larger.
