I think it is pretty. The only thing I might do is move the round flower pot back by the stone thing, centered. And is the table between the chairs really needed....if so, how about a smaller one like a pretty garden stool for sitting your drink on?

I’d try moving the large (darker) planters to either side of slider. Move chairs to opposite side (angled or squared)on couch ends. Remove end table. Garden stools on each end of couch. Arrange other planters by stone area with round one centered. It will open it up and not feel so cluttered. Love the blue!

It's all bunched up together. Try moving things out away from the center where possible, Smaller table in the middle, move out the small table. Try to live without it. A glass top table will look a lot lighter.

Smaller round central table, removal of side table, removal of rug, move terracotta pot out of the way, add bigger, more impressive plantings in planters

Really nice space.

Just some thoughts:

Centered beneath the window (and in the shade at least part time) is the best place for your sofa and your chairs need to be near it to create a conversation grouping.

Consider investing in a pair of sturdy metal patio tables the depth of your double seat -- one for each side -- and put a pair of matching planters the same width as the tables on the back of each and limit the planters within the conversation grouping to those.

Move most of the other planters farther away from the seating area. You might move a pair to set them at the two indents in the curved wall with the arc, or at least the round one(s).

Where you have one small rectangle planter in the bright sun behind the chair in the sun, consider adding a cabinet/table with a shelf below at that site to set your planter top the cabinet/table and to keep the items now on your coffee table on the shelf below.

What, if anything, you keep on the coffee table should be a single low empty decorative tray or bowl until you need to use it for serving guests.

What a lovely outdoor area! And random request- can we get a night pic or two? I see you have lights strung overhead, it would be great to see what it looks like lit up at night as well.

A couple questions...

Do the double doors in the first pic open, or decorative? If they open, do you often use them or are they usually left closed? I'm assuming a bit that perhaps they work and you use them since the walkway area is open.

In the third pic, what is the rounded wall part? It looks like there's a hose running into it, so I assume it's a pool/fountain of some sort? What does the rest of your yard open up to outside of the niche?

I agree with others that the round pot needs to go somewhere else. It really squishes in the area. The big tray off stuff on the middle table too. Since the area is already very square and you might be removing the only rounding elements, replace the two tables with round or oval ones to soften the flow lines around your seating.

Not sure if you need to move planters or seating just yet. But you might want to consider pulling some of the eye-attention of the center of the area up and out.... perhaps utilize those planters to put in something like shepherds crooks or something to hang additional lighting or something on or perhaps some additional pendant style lighting (soft Chinese lanterns or such?) hanging down. Maybe small trellises with something growing up them. Something vertical rather than just the very low growth habit stuff you currently have going on. Help draw the eyes away from just the center and up into the corners and walls as well.

Reference my comment from your March 5 post. The rug is too small so you've gathered everything up close to it. Larger rug and spread things out. Re-read my comment from a few months ago.

too many pillows... and too many items on the small round tray.

even with a larger rug, you dont have room to back the chairs up and have passageway behind them... which means the planters have to go someplace else.

do you have space for the chairs to face each other across the coffee table, instead of facing the couch?

take into account your stacked stone work is very very busy. so your oasis seating has to be very very restrained.

Love the comments. Thank you. Can you share suggestions for a round table to replace the square one in front of the sofa?

I think an oval rather than a round in the center. round rather than oval to replace the side table between the two chairs if a table there is really needed.

And I have to disagree a bit that the rug is too small. I'm rather in love with the stone floor as is with it's big stones filled in with the little bits and think the rug as an accent under the center table itself rather than defining a larger area is great. Though I would move the rug over a bit so it's anchored by the feet of the couch and chairs with the table centered. It's offset right now, and that breaks up the flow.

Do you need to keep all the furniture? My thought would be to get two more of the chairs or two smaller chairs that work with the other two, remove the sofa and get a round coffee table instead.

consider consolidating flowers to one planter against a wall-I would either remove the rug or make it bigger to incorporate the whole sitting area-it seems like one more piece instead of a background piece-I do like the color it brings

Pull sofa off the house a few feet, remove one chair & flower pot, replace coffee table with something round & white.
