Save time and money by choosing our designer patio ideas made to fit an array of backyard sizes and use requirements.
Our wide patio with TV idea follows our simple design principles for a failsafe outdoor living space.
People in large gatherings break into smaller fluid pods of two to five people. We use this pod approach to build patios conducive to forming and moving between these smaller social settings. Instead of getting a massive and expensive open patio that resembles a dancefloor, you get something much more helpful (and natural) at a fraction of the cost. Of course, these designs can be stretched and modified as needed. But you should find these pre-designed patio ideas effective and efficient use of space. Moreover, we try to balance and harmonize the indoors with your outdoors.
Homes of all sizes can be found with small uninspired square concrete pads for a patio. Don’t think that your small concrete pad can’t be turned into a stunning outdoor living space. Indeed, square patio spaces- even small ones- can produce a big “wow factor.” The key is to embrace your space and try to make it feel as large as possible. The key to doing this is to give it larger-than-life outdoor features like a fireplace and grill island. Read more as this patio features all the premium features you want to relax after a long day or entertain family and friends for memorable occasions.
This wide patio features the outdoor equivalent of a kitchen, dining room, and living room with a fireplace.
These features are placed in areas that make sense functionally. The grill island “kitchen is close to the door for an unobstructed path for hosts to go to and from the house/central kitchen when cooking and serving. This easy access is carried out to the open-concept “dining area adjacent to the grill area. A semi-formal fireplace anchors the outdoor ling area with dual firewood storage boxes. The seat walls add a nice finish to the hardscape pad while adding storage. The boxes also add much-needed impromptu seating and table surfaces for larger gatherings. The attached firewood storage boxes are a favorite as they also function as tables for decorations. Guests will find them helpful in holding plates and drinks while mingling with other guests.
This patio idea can be further enhanced and personalized with simple yet impactful landscaping.
We recommend adding columnar evergreens by the dining area for privacy. You may also want to incorporate decorative trees, large grasses, or specimen planting just beyond the seat walls for more privacy or natural impact. Once your trees and shrubs have been placed, you can always embellish them with smaller grasses, annuals, and perennials to your taste and maintenance level. We recommend sourcing plants from a local greenhouse or nursery for the best advice, selection, and quality of materials for your softscapes.

What makes this wide patio with TV idea so great?
The key to this space working is to divide it in half, where you enter from the doorway to the house. This delineation gives us a hallway to the door and between our central pods. On this patio, the kitchen and dining area are on one side, and the living room is on the other. There is still a nice path from the grill island to the door. The grill area provides privacy, while the shrubs at the other end provide the rest. The with of this patio allowed us to have a roomier living room. So we decided to anchor this room with a decked-out Bremley TV fireplace. We want the space to feel significant and premium by using full-sized features. The premium outdoor fireplace adds a backdrop for your patio while providing a much-needed visual anchor in a compact footprint. It includes firewood storage boxes and a pair of seat walls. I love wing/seat walls as they provide privacy while adding extra seating space. Once again, the storage boxes and piers act as tables for your guests. Of course, we can’t leave out the TV. This patio design emphasizes the “living room” pod, so we had to add the TV option.
We chose the Masterson-K for the “kitchen” pod to keep the premium feel. You can always select the grill island that best suits your cooking style. This grill station features a professional built-in stainless grill and the best kamado grill on the market. This dynamic duo asserts that this patio is top-notch and demands the admiration of acclaimed professional chefs and serious backyard grillers. The size of the grill island will balance the sizable dining table e with the small patio footprint. The combination of these two features makes an excellent cooking and serving area. We place the grill near the door for minimal disturbances in your short trips to and from the main indoor kitchen when needed. When the food is ready, it will be easy to serve the guests or have them serve themselves from the ample counter space of the grill island.
