There are plenty of outdoor furniture and deck layout options, and what works best will differ whether you have a small or large deck or patio. A great way to begin your design plan is to consider the purpose of your space. How do you want to spend the majority of your time outside? If you’ll only eat outside occasionally, prioritize lounge furniture over a table. If you plan to retreat there by yourself more than with a group, focus on comfortable furniture for lounging, with a side table for a cool drink and your favorite book.
Small Deck Furniture Layout Ideas
Because your space is limited, you need to choose a single focal point to create a cohesive design. Think about how you want to spend your time on your patio as you plan your patio layout. Do you want to lounge and talk or read or nap? Then you might want padded furniture. Do you want to promote gathering and connection? A fire pit might be the perfect focal point. Do you want to dine al fresco? Then choose a patio furniture set with a table for dinner parties with friends.
Large Deck Furniture Layout Ideas
While you need to choose one focal point for a small patio, a larger patio enables you to create multiple zones in your patio deck layout. You can create a zone with a patio furniture set for conversation seating like chairs, chaises, or couches. Another zone could feature a fire pit with seating surrounding it. Another zone could feature a table and chairs for eating outside. For more shade, you could choose a table with an umbrella, which might feel overwhelming on a small deck.
Outdoor Furniture Style Guide
Just like furniture in your bedroom or living room, outdoor furniture can communicate a certain design style. Here are some tips inspired by four of the most popular interior design styles.
➤ Modern outdoor furniture ideas: Pay special attention to the silhouette of your patio furniture. Opt for simple silhouettes and geometric shapes. For a mid-century modern look, you can choose curved silhouettes.
➤ Beachy patio furniture ideas: Embrace all the wicker, rattan, and texture that is typical of patio furniture. Your color palette will be full of creamy and warm neutrals as well as calming earth tones like light blue, seafoam green, and aqua.
➤ Traditional outdoor deck furniture ideas: Prioritize comfort and refined style for a more sophisticated and less casual look. Stick with neutral tones for your major furniture pieces and work in accent colors in smaller ways throughout your space.
➤ Boho or eclectic outdoor furniture ideas: Like beachy spaces, boho and eclectic designs will favor wicker, rattan, and textured fabrics. Unique furniture, like this rope-designed loveseat, add variety that is characteristic to these two styles. Embrace a casual and inviting feel and weave in warm, desert toned accent colors.

How to Create an Outdoor Space
If you are creating your outdoor space and are looking for some help, here are some of our expert tips to creating a comfortable outdoor patio.
- Choose a color palette with accent colors. You can carry your accent color throughout your space in throw pillows, rugs, painted pots, and even the color of the flowers you choose to plant.
- Think texture. Outdoor furniture is often made up of a variety of textures to stand up to outdoor conditions but also to add style. You’ll see textured fabrics, wicker, and rattan. These can be part of any design, but they are especially good for coastal, eclectic, and boho designs.
- Choose multifunctional furniture pieces. End tables, cocktail tables, or benches can feature hidden, covered storage or shelf storage. A cocktail table can serve as a table for food or a makeshift ottoman for kicking up your feet. A sectional seating set might feature center consoles with cup holders and hidden storage compartments. This is a great way to tuck away toys, towels, and other things you don't want to get wet.
- Find ways to save on patio furniture. Shop on holiday weekends or keep an eye out for current promotions on outdoor furniture. If you live in the Las Vegas area, you can check out the Walker Outlet Showroom and Clearance Center. Financing can be a helpful way to furnish your outdoor deck all at once.
