Built In Seating
Building a Bench or Other Seating Into Your Landscape Can Help Give A Small Space a Sizable Advantage.
Houzz.Spring 2012. By Cassy Aoyagi: People often ask how to make the most of a petite outdoor space. Keep in mind that your small space has advantages! Outdoor living spaces should have a coziness factor, which is much easier to create in a smaller space.
One of my favorite design tricks for small spaces is built-in seating. Here is how to apply it for dramatic effect in your cozy space.
