6 Things To Think About When Designing A Seating Area

Are you thinking of adding a seating area to your garden? Here are 6 things to keep in my mind:
​
  • ⁠Position - you'll most likely want a sunny spot but perhaps it's a sheltered seating area you're looking to create. Think about where the sun will be at different times of the day (and year), maybe you have room for a few seating areas.⁠
  • Privacy - if your ideal spot feels too exposed you might want to add a privacy screen or hedge. This can help reduce noise pollution too.⁠
  • Size - do you want a cosy seating nook? Or maybe a large dining area? Make sure you measure up the furniture you have in mind to check it will fit nicely into the space with room to manoeuvre. You don't want your chairs at risk of falling off the edge of a deck!⁠
  • Atmosphere - are you looking to create a relaxing spot to unwind and enjoy nature? Add scented wildflowers to encourage butterflies and bees, or perhaps a small water feature. Think about how you can create a sensory experience to make your seating area more inviting.⁠
  • Seasonal - will this be a space you use all year or just for summer? Adding a pergola or gazebo structure for shelter will enhance usability throughout the seasons. Having a covered seating area can be a fun outdoor space for cosy winter nights. ⁠
  • Materials - when choosing the materials of your garden furniture remember to consider durability. Many options require a lot of maintenance. Think about how the materials fit in with the rest of your garden and if you need a base, how it will compliment that too.⁠
