Decide whether the space is primarily for morning coffee, shared meals, or reading. A compact table and two chairs may serve you better than a large lounge set. Measure the full footprint with chairs pulled out. Keep a clear route to the door, garden, and any utility equipment that needs regular access.
Observe where sunlight falls at the times you expect to be outside. A comfortable morning seat may become too exposed by late afternoon. Choose a freestanding shade option appropriate to the space and secure it according to its instructions. Check building or association requirements before attaching anything to a wall.
