Sectional or Sofa Set!?

13 years ago

We just bought our first house and have this 20'X20' area off our back patio. What would work better here? A sectional or sofa set? We are going to put up some outdoor curtains as well so it will be intimate and shaded. But we are having trouble visualizing a good area.

Is it ok to have seating in front of the sliding doors facing out? Or should the main seating be facing the house?

I would go sectional for outside. Different story for a great room as I think 2 sofas, chairs give more flexibility. Outside, the sectional partnered with chairs and ottomans, stools are great for creating a modular space that can be cozy, casual. Definitely facing out to the yard, great view!

See so I say a sectional facing out but my husband seems to think it won't be ok to have it in front of those slider doors. Thanks for your opinion! I'm into the sectional as well!
