I'm looking for ideas for my patio.?

I watch the design shows but they never have a basic suburban backyard where the patio is against the back of the house and is covered by a patio roof. Mine is 30"x12" We've put in recessed lights and three ceiling fans. There is a round table and 4 chairs at one end and a love seat, two chairs, two end tables and a coffee table at the other end. There are two bedroom windows on the patio wall as well as a bathroom door between them and an 8ft glass sliding door. It just looks like a patio full of stuff to me! Help! How can I make it more inviting???

    Natural stone outdoor fireplaces are very cool and help to turn ordinary patios into outdoor living rooms. Also put a natural stone floor down over the concrete flooring (if that's what you have) to also make the space feel more like an inviting part of the home instead of part of the driveway.

    You already have a nice assortment of furniture. If you want to make it more cozy, add bright colored coordinating throw pillows that you can store away when not in use.
