In the garden a canopy of flowers

A patio does not always have to be directly adjacent to the house; paving slabs can be placed anywhere in the garden to create a small oasis of relaxation. A stone wall makes a beautiful "back wall" and brings a Mediterranean feel to the garden. A wooden-beam canopy planted with climbing plants such as ivy provides shade. Garden benches and a wooden table offer space for family and friends; with soft seat cushions, the seating becomes especially comfortable.
