A nice star as @marsha mentioned, design tile/stone design in the circular section, Creeping time between the stones.
Pallet like table with wheels.
Depends on what you want to utilize that outdoor area for..

Last spring we had an area that stayed kinda damp and with little grass made into a patio area with flagstones. We couldn’t have been happier with the results. Then in October, we ended up contacting a man when we saw the outdoor fireplaces he had built. I had a friend with a lovely patio area and a fireplace that I just loved. Long story short…we have a beautiful fireplace with the patio and then later had him create an additional patio. We feel like we have added two rooms to our house!

Whatever you do, I would have to make that circluar area a star! I think blue slate or flagstones would look great. Are you interested in putting in a fountain? I like the idea of a firepit with seating that someone else mentioned, too. Good Luck! Can’t wait to see what you do.

Also all the pretty bushes will show through better and your great view. I’m loving the stone work on the round part of the patio, so I would continue that on the floor here, cost permitting, and then spruce up with some beautiful pillows. Go neutral on the chair cushions, and accent with fun toss pillows. If you can’t add the stone to the floor, I’d paint in a similar toned “rug”, or buy an outdoor rug in the same tones as your stone patio.

It can be a patio, a fountain, or a mini water park feature for your children. You don’t have to worry about safety and maintenance of a pool and you can turn it off for a dry space or use it with lights at night for a dramatic water feature or back drop for entertaining. I think it would be spectacular! Good luck – staying tuned to watch your progress with great eagerness. :-)
