My family spends a lot of time on the patio, mostly in the summer, although in the winter we are in the hot tub. The hedge around the patio creates "walls" which give the patio a room-like feel. I keep white fairy lights or Christmas lights, same thing, depending on the season, on year-round. In the summer lots of patio lanterns and lights. Container gardening and a small water feature that Danny and I put together a few summers ago. My spot is on the chaise lounge with a favorite quilt and good book. We like to play cribbage and other card games too. We have dinner on the patio and morning coffee too. The rocks in the pottery square is our heat source. It is a gas fire and it gives off enough heat to keep things cozy and to roast marshmallows. The concrete bench with mosaic top by the hot tub was done by Max and myself. My hubby added the lower level for the BBQ this year and Sam made the metal bench in high school shop class. Our patio is truly a family effort and a great family spot.
