Semi circle patios open up a host of landscaping possibilities. Reimagined accordingly, this space can become activity nooks or separate seating areas designed specifically to meet different purposes.
An outdoor circular patio can be equipped with a bar zone featuring an eye-catching metal “demi lune” patio bar – making for the ideal environment for wine tasting and cocktail sipping experiences.
Creating a Sunbathing Zone
Furnishing a circular patio may present some challenges, but with some creative know-how these curves can become an aesthetic asset. To start off, organize furniture according to its intended use. For instance, consider clustering furniture into functional areas based on function; such as placing long pieces along edges to anchor and expand space or group seating around focal points like fire pits. Finally, tie all these pieces together with vibrant hues or eye-catching patterns that blur indoor and outdoor spaces for a cohesive look that welcomes guests while offering them time off to relax and unwind!
Creating a Bar Zone
If your patio space can accommodate a table but isn’t entirely enclosed, consider creating an intimate bar area with semi circle outdoor furniture. Arranging chairs around a central table – like drummer Matt Sorum did on his Palm Springs patio – or using movable bar carts and tall cocktail tables is key to making this set work comfortably; La-Fete Design Moon Pad Semi-Circle Outdoor Seat is ideal, offering undulating seating that’s both stylish and comfy!
One way to create a bar area is by pairing dining chairs with a bench or banquette. This setup offers plenty of seating for everyone at meal times while keeping all at an appropriate height for conversation. DIY blogger Hayley Stuart used midcentury modern-inspired furniture and fresh neutral patterned cushion fabrics in order to achieve this look in her bar area.
If your circular backyard nook feels closed off, add visual interest with bold color combinations and eye-catching accessories. Fantastic Frank’s Mediterranean patio utilizes vibrant hues like terracotta with pops of emerald green, rich wood accents, and modern furniture pieces for an airy and comfortable vibe; in contrast McKinnon and Harris use black and white shades that create an air of sophistication while blurring the lines between indoors and out.
Creating a Dining Zone
If you’re planning an outdoor dining zone, opt for a round table and seating arrangement to seat family and friends. A gathering point, this table can also be dressed up to feel more formal by adding flowers, table cloth or runners and place settings – creating the ideal atmosphere.
Due to its lack of corners, circular patio furniture must be arranged differently than square or rectangular pieces. Symmetrical arrangements tend to work best with formal patio settings while asymmetrical arrangements tend to look more casual and quirky. To make sure that your rounded patio furniture stands up over time and stays looking its best choose durable materials like classic teak that will withstand wear and tear gracefully over time.
Add warmth and character to your dining area by including cushions and throw pillows that match both your color scheme and table linen textures, such as seat covers or table linens. When selecting fabric options for these accessories, look for ones which resist moisture damage as well as sun rays – this way they are easy to maintain as well!
Establishing separate areas for sunbathing, dining and relaxing will help define your space without it feeling too expansive and open. Additional amenities such as fireplaces, process lighting or planter beds could further help divide and structure this outdoor living area.
Matt Sorum’s patio in Palm Springs offers a chic yet comfortable entertainment zone, complete with a large screen for watching movies and an inviting fire pit that doubles as conversation starter. Perfect for hosting movie nights, poolside hangouts or casual dining occasions.
Creating a Gazebo Zone
Include a gazebo in your backyard design to create an intimate seating area perfect for conversation or sharing a meal. As seen on Fantastic Frank’s Mediterranean patio, its rustic twig and fabric canopy blends in organically with the garden surroundings for an earthy aesthetic. Add row of sconce lights, lightweight neutral hued outdoor fabrics, and terra-cotta pots for added style – creating a comfortable yet stylish space that brings people together in style.
Circular patios may seem difficult to manage at first, but with careful thought and the help of walkways and furniture arrangement it can become easier than ever to create distinct zones in this open space. Map your circle on paper first so you know exactly how much square footage there is available – keep this number handy when purchasing furniture and large structures like gazebos to ensure everything fits the space perfectly.
Symmetrical furniture arrangements give outdoor spaces a formal aesthetic, but if you prefer more relaxed settings then opt for an asymmetrical arrangement instead. A circle’s lack of straight edges makes it harder to push straight-edged furniture toward its center; so to create this casual vibe orient seating and tables so they face toward one central focal point instead.
Turn a cozy round covered patio into an outdoor home office by installing an all-weather table, comfortable chair, and eye-catching accessories such as drought resistant landscaping like Leanne Ford Interiors’ stylized plants into your workspace.
Black and white hues create an ultra-modern, sleek, and timeless vibe for your backyard patio. Sticking to this timeless color combination also ensures that outdoor furnishings won’t go out of fashion as quickly.
Creating a Lounge Area
Though furnishing a circular patio may seem intimidating, there are numerous creative solutions for turning its curved shape into an asset. To create a lounge zone, arrange your rounded outdoor furniture toward the center of the space with plenty of breathing room between pieces – since circles lack corners, pushing straight-edged chairs into corners will look odd; rather, opt for round patio chairs with seat cushions or round coffee and end tables to create a cozy hangout area.
Add some ambience and ambience to your circular patio by installing an overhead pergola or minimalist concrete fireplace that exudes warmth and character, pairing it with a patterned rattan sofa or slatted outdoor chairs to create an elegant seating nook.
Your semi circle patio furniture layout depends on its primary use – entertainment, dining or lounging. A formal arrangement feels more formal while an asymmetrical layout offers more relaxation. To keep traffic moving smoothly on your circular patio consider placing buffers or dividers to direct people where to go.
Use semi circle patio furniture and thoughtful layouts to quickly establish zones in your circular patio, and easily create zones! By taking into account your intended use of the patio, size of furniture pieces, materials used and material choices when making arrangements – choosing complementary outdoor furniture will help create an unified and enjoyable space you can take pleasure in throughout the year! So get set for relaxation on your beautiful circular patio!
