Outdoor Furniture for Small Spaces
From petite patios to bitsy balconies, it seems a lot of outdoor spaces are getting smaller. But ingenious outdoor furniture designs leave plenty of room for colossal style. As your outdoor area shrinks, look for chairs and tables with a smaller footprint. These picks offer up beautiful design tailored for tight quarters.
On-the-Move Side Table by Cane-line
In smaller spaces, designs that perform more than one function are invaluable. Case in point, the On-the-Move Side Table, which includes a removable tray/top on a compact wire base with handle. Cute, convenient and colorful.
Designer Phillipe Starck created the Prince AHA Stool in a clutch of egg-like pastel colors, great for enhancing outdoor spaces. The hourglass-shaped stools can be stacked when not in use (up to 6 high!), turning what could be clutter into a temporary work of art.
Bistro Round Folding Table by Fermob
