Go to a function of simple design
This 36 bench seats in a conceptual garden in New Zealand would be a great focal point for any garden - and the idea could be reduced depending on your space. It will work especially well if you like to party and great people entertainment groups.
For an alternative to any key, instead of designing around a tree as in the garden, you can place a lot of informal seating made from logs around a fireplace. This should also mean that you get more use of the garden at night and in the chillier end of summer.

Brave some color
This garden Darren Hawkes uses solid structural walls like a large sheet for lots of foliage with strong colors, especially the green grass zingy acid. In general, cool colors help create a sense of space in a small garden, while the rich, dark red, pink and green foliage will create a more sensual feel.
Although hard features, such as paving, walls and adjacent buildings, may be too dominant in a garden, sweet plants with bright colors let you make a statement with style.

Select architectural plants
structural plants are important if you want to provide long-term interest, this garden show at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower show illustrates. Multi-stemmed trees structure throughout the year, even when they have lost their leaves, and traditional blankets are much softer and less expensive to install a hard fence or wall.

Draw on local expertise
We can not all be experts in the garden, so if you want to copy a function, as these walls, then find a professional landscaper. And for these unusual projects get a craftsman in, because, just as with your interior, detail is everything.
If you choose indigenous materials in your area, it will be easier to find local artisans with skills relevant to them. And of course, staying local for your hardware, including plants, your garden looks as if it has been there for years.

Play with levels
in this garden by Kate Gould at the Chelsea Flower Show 2011, the main living area was located above ground level and the walls have been built large enough to serve additional seats when guests arrive. Some cushions added to a low wall or even measures can provide informal seating when you have extra guests.
Slope gardens can be great, because you can use a retaining wall to sit down and be right next to the plants. And of course, they are an excellent starting point for a water feature.

Using found materials
you are on a budget or have a lot to spend, it does not hurt to look around you and see what is already available. Try looking materials that you think otherwise throw and how you can reuse them, even if it is just to create habitats where bees, insects and other wildlife may winter.
In this garden show, Kate Gould used corrugated metal panels for an urban city feel. The old mattress springs were renovated to provide an industrial mesh and a bath was cut in half to a few single seats.
