Meals or lounging first?
A dining table and a sofa use space differently. Start with your main activity, then compare a second layout. Check the actual furniture dimensions and a route past pulled-out chairs before choosing.
The paved space beside your home
AI patio design from your own photo
See how a different paving palette, a dining table or a shaded seat could change your patio. Start with your existing terrace rather than a blank plan, then use the concept to decide which layout deserves a closer look.

AI-generated demonstration
A patio refresh with room left for the lawn
This is a fictional, AI-generated starting garden, reused from our three-style comparison. For this separate Seedream 5.0 Flash result, generated on 14 November 2026, the brief focused on the foreground terrace, with dining, a compact lounge and a timber pergola. It asked for the lawn, large tree and route to the gate to remain.
↔
The result moves the seating to the foreground and keeps a broad open lawn, unlike the whole-garden Modern example. Pale paving links the table and lounge, with planters defining the edges. The side path is also redrawn, showing why a request to focus on one area still needs checking.
What the render misses: the brief asked for four dining seats, but the output adds more. It does not establish chair clearance, door access, paving levels or the pergola’s foundations. Plants and supports need independent checks; use the picture to discuss the idea, not to build from.
Three patio decisions to compare
Open sky or shade?
Try an open seating area, then a pergola concept. A shaded-looking render does not calculate the sun’s position or prove that a structure can be fixed safely to your house or patio.
A quiet surface or strong pattern?
Compare paving colours and visible joints against the house. The image cannot establish slip resistance, material durability, drainage or the number of slabs you need.
Photograph the whole connection to the house
Include the patio edges, back door, adjoining lawn and any route you need to keep clear. Stand far enough back to show the context without an extreme wide-angle distortion. Only upload photos you have permission to use.
Choose Patio in the tool, pick a style, and describe the part you want changed. For example: “Explore pale paving and a compact dining area on the existing terrace. Aim to retain the lawn, door and route to the gate. Do not add a pool.” This is an editable example brief, not a tested guarantee of exact preservation.
Read the photo checklist for file types and framing, or compare Modern with Cottage styling. Style changes the look; your patio brief sets the area and intended use.
Patio photo design questions
Can I try a new look over an existing concrete patio?+
Yes. Include the slab and its edges in your photo, select Patio, and describe the surface and furniture you want to explore. The image can suggest a new look; it cannot confirm whether the existing slab can support a new finish or structure.
Will the AI leave my lawn and house unchanged?+
The instructions ask it to retain buildings and boundaries, and you can ask it to focus on the patio. This is not a mask or a guarantee: nearby paths, planting, doors and proportions can still change. Check them against your original.
Can I compare a dining patio with a lounge layout?+
Generate one concept for each use from the same original photo and save both. Each successful generation uses one credit. The slider compares your upload with its latest result; it does not place two saved concepts side by side.
Can this tool calculate paver quantities or a patio slope?+
No. It does not measure the site, calculate quantities, specify drainage falls or assess a pergola foundation. Get measurements and appropriate local advice before ordering materials or building.
How do I download the result or find it later?+
Download the generated result and revisit it in My designs from your account menu. Results are saved privately for your account. Deleting a saved design removes its active image and history record; it does not refund a successful generation.
