This corner already had a patio and a dining table. Nobody used it.
A dining table works best close to a kitchen. This one sat right at the far end of the garden, so it rarely got used. Dining’s since moved closer to the house, and this corner was free to become something else.
Being tucked in the far corner now works in its favour, with a view back across the whole garden. White rhododendron gives it a sense of privacy, and a path leading up to it makes it feel like a destination rather than something you pass by. A curved patio and a cuddle chair swap the dining table for a spot to lounge.
Do you have a corner like this in your own garden, one with everything it needs but nothing pulling you towards it?
