My preference for this part of the garden is white, so this wall-mounted pergola interests me. I would measure the wall and the space below it before deciding on the layout.

My starting point is the 10 by 10 foot footprint. I want to mark that out before deciding where a hardtop gazebo belongs in the patio layout.

A wall-mounted gazebo is an option I am considering for a patio dining area. With this 12 x 10 design, my starting point would be a sketch of the table, chairs and route back indoors. The dark finish appeals to me too.

Grey appeals to me for a porch swing. I am considering a fairly simple colour palette for the seating area.

The swing-to-bed conversion is the detail I like. It gives me two arrangements to consider for an imagined porch seating area.

With a covered metal run on my list, I am thinking through the chicken area as a whole. The listed 195 square feet gives me a starting point for checking the space.

For an outdoor roller shade, the dimensions would be my first check. I am considering the listed width and height alongside the intended position before deciding how it fits into the rest of the patio plan.

I prefer the dark finish for the spot beside the house. The 8 by 5 size is one I want to mark out on the patio.

My idea is a couple of chairs beside the house, with a small table between them. I am considering this wall-mounted gazebo as part of that layout.

A reclining loveseat is the seating style I am considering for movie evenings.

I am thinking about the awning and the seating layout together. The manual retractable design interests me, and the dimensions need checking against the intended spot. That comparison comes before the colour of the chairs or the pots around them.

The pull-out design gets my attention. I am considering a room where one piece of furniture needs more than one role, so the three-in-one format interests me. Before choosing it, I want to compare the space it takes as a chair with the space needed when pulled out.

Yellow is the detail that wins my attention here. I like the idea of a fabric armchair with a solid wood frame beside a few simpler pieces. The mid-century style is something I can picture in a reading corner, with a small side table nearby. I am looking for a chair that adds some colour to that plan.

The dark finish appeals to me. For a smaller patio plan, this 8 x 5 wall-mounted design is one I am considering.

Blue is the colour I keep coming back to for the patio. I picture this furniture around its coffee table, with a few plain pots nearby. That is the sort of relaxed corner I have in mind.
