UNDERSTANDING THE OUTDOOR SPACE
Think about how much space you have available and how it's shaped (e.g., square, rectangle, round). Is it a long, narrow balcony, a broad expansive deck, or a flat yard with vast space? Just like when you furnish a living or family room with furniture, you need to consider the area and shape of the outdoor space to determine the appropriate size of your outdoor furniture. Make sure to leave enough room around your furniture so that you can move around easily.
