After living in her flat in London for over a year, a resident decided to revamp her small, four-foot-wide patio to create a cozy outdoor oasis. With a budget of £500, she managed to complete the project for £506, thanks to discounts during Argos' Big Red Event sale. The centerpiece of the transformation was the Argos Home Palermo 3 Seater Rattan Effect Garden Sofa Set, which cost £440. To maximize the limited space, she arranged the sofa pieces to face each other rather than the suggested 'L' shape, making the area feel more inviting. A 1.6m Sunbeam Garden Parasol was selected to provide shade without obstructing light, while a green print outdoor rug helped tie the furniture and color scheme together. The project highlights the importance of measuring space accurately and choosing versatile furniture that fits smaller areas, ensuring a functional yet stylish outdoor living space.
