The first step to organizing your patio furniture is determining the goal of your outdoor living space. Some common goals of your patio may be:

Now that you've determined the purpose and type of furniture, it's time to organize. Here are six of our favorite ways to organize your patio furniture:
1. A sofa and two chairs
A sofa and two chairs are some of the most traditional ways to organize living space. This is a very versatile set up that allows for flowing conversation and optimal comfort. Place two chairs across from the sofa for a classic look.
Sit across friends and family as you enjoy a quiet evening in your tranquil backyard. This patio option is an excellent choice for smaller groups.
As you go to buy your chairs, consider purchasing a pop of color. Mixing and matching your chairs from your sofa adds character to your backyard. Get creative with how you position your sofa and chairs and invite friends and family over to visit.
2. A sectional and coffee table
Looking for coffee tables:
A sectional also creates boundaries to help section off your patio from the rest of your backyard. Use it to make a clean, separated look of your patio.
Consider adding a fire table or coffee table in the middle to set snacks, food, and drinks on. On quiet evenings when you're alone, the lounge part is great to lay down on for optimal comfort.
3. Use an ottoman
An ottoman is a multi-function furniture piece that acts as a footrest, coffee table, stool, and seat. Not only does it look great, but use it for many different purposes. Situate the rest of your furniture around your ottoman for a polished appearance.
Your ottoman will offer you the option of putting your feet up after a long day. However, you can also use it as extra seating when you have more guests over for entertaining. Finish the look with a coffee table, sofa, and armchairs. You can even completely substitute a chair with your ottoman for a cost-effective option.
4. Incorporate a chaise lounge
Adding a chaise lounge to any patio set offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Suntan or read a good book on your patio. Across from your chaise lounge, add armchairs and a coffee table to finish the look off. A chaise creates a unique asymmetrical look that creates the flair that your outdoor living space may need.
Purchasing a chaise lounge in teak, such as the Royal Teak Collection Outdoor Sundaze Sling Chaise Lounge is the perfect addition to a backyard. This option comes with a built-in table for your shopping convenience. Relax by a pool or on a sunny day. Choose between moss green, black, navy, blue, gray, or white to suit your personal style.
5. Position glider chairs facing outwards
If you have a porch, positioning comfortable glider chairs facing outwards is a beautiful addition. This traditional porch seating is timeless. Great for morning coffee and people watching, this organization offers Southern charm. Glider chairs, rocking chairs, or stationary chairs will work for this classic porch look.
Looking for:
Adding a small coffee table between the two chairs will add the necessary convenience. Set your coffee down between sips. Styling your porch in this traditional way will transform the look of your home.
6. Mix and match dining and seating
If you entertain but also like intimate conversation sets, mix and match your furniture. Invest in high-quality teak outdoor dining chairs with a sectional. If you have the backyard space, you'll appreciate making the most out of it.
You can purchase two loveseats and armchairs or a section and a small dining set for the best of both worlds. How you organize your patio is up to you, so get creative and have fun.
