When landscaping a small area, select a theme or style as you would for any garden, but think small scale in its development. A theme provides a single focus, which in turn allows you to enjoy the landscape as a whole instead of being distracted by out-of-place details.
Here, the theme was a tropical bistro. Large, tropical-look plants like philodendron (against the fence) and giant bird of paradise (on the left) set the stage. A casual dining set creates the sense of purpose.
