Look for used patio furniture before buying new. We found a table set secondhand, cleaned it up and spent the saved money on cushions and plants. In a small yard, comfort matters more than expensive materials.
Lighting changes everything. We added string lights, two large planters and a small table, and the yard suddenly felt intentional. You do not need to redo the whole space. Pick one seating zone and make that zone feel finished.
