Japanese Privacy Patio Design Idea

While this small patio has the influence, it's not quite Japanese garden. The screening wall is of Japanese architecture and so adds some influence to this patio as well as creating privacy as intended. And while it does suggest a hint of Japan, the garden still lacks influence and has some of the wrong ideas and influences. Change the furniture, add a stone lantern, and add a few more of the right garden plants, and this small patio garden would change a lot.

While this patio looks good, following a theme can make it look better. And while it certainly is no written principle or rule, landscape and garden design can be a whole lot easier to create design plans for if you follow a theme or have some obvious definition to its different areas or rooms. Still, the atmosphere of this Japanese privacy patio garden is quite obvious due to some of the decor and elements used.
