Step 1: Know Your Space. The first step to finding the perfect patio furniture setup for your outdoor living area is to understand exactly how much room you have to work with. While you may have fallen in love with the seven seat sectional set, if your patio isn’t big enough, you and your guests will end up feeling cramped. On the other end of the spectrum, if you have a spacious deck or patio, you will probably want a larger outdoor dining set or patio lounge set as opposed to a smaller outdoor bistro set. If space is limited, round and hexagonal tables are ideal alter- natives to larger dining tables. Extendable tables offer flexible seating if you occasionally entertain larger groups. Bistro, café and bar sets are brilliant outdoor furniture options for those with smaller spaces. Those living in apartments and condominiums with small balconies find charming bistro sets an ideal solution for relaxing and entertaining in their outdoor space. We as patio experts are skilled at helping you organize your space so come ready with your measurements. 4
