For those looking from the dining table, the cutout frames a view of a Japanese maple (Acer palmatum, USDA zones 5 to 8; find your zone) in the foreground and a fire pit seating area slotted into the back corner of the garden. Subtle lighting illuminates the Japanese maple at night and shines down from the top of the cutout, highlighting the cutout as a landscape focal feature when viewed from the house.

Outdoor sofas made of weather-resistant resin wicker with off-white cushions pair well with the color and material of the shade sails. Finishing touches include the twinkle of criss-crossing cafe lights and a tile-printed outdoor rug, which pulls in the blue from the pool.
