That's a wonderful question! A small garden is a precious space, and choosing furniture that fits just right is key to enjoying it fully. When it comes to our more compact park benches, the dimensions are designed specifically with spaces like yours in mind.
Typically, our range of space-saving benches features seating lengths between 3 to 4 feet (approximately 90 to 120 cm). A very popular model, for instance, measures 42 inches (107 cm) in length, with a seat depth of 18 inches (46 cm) and a back height of 32 inches (81 cm). These proportions provide comfortable seating for two adults without overwhelming a cozy patio or a narrow garden path.
The beauty of a compact bench is its versatility. It can tuck neatly against a fence, become a focal point under a small tree, or line a short walkway. When planning, I recommend leaving at least 24 inches (60 cm) of clearance in front of the bench for easy movement. Consider the scale—a bench that is too large can make your garden feel cramped, while one that is too small might look lost. A well-proportioned compact bench will enhance the feeling of a lush, intimate retreat.
Look for designs with clean lines and perhaps a slight curve; they often occupy visual space more efficiently. Remember, the goal is to create an inviting spot for a quiet moment with a cup of tea, not to fill every inch. Your small garden deserves a perfectly sized companion for relaxation.
