I like the old distressed doors with the poles between the 2 that you have pictured. There are a lot of ideas, but I'm not sure if you want modern or what? In any case, you could modernize any of these ideas...including using new doors with cool bright shiny colors. Here is an idea using chairs. In addition, you could use the seats for hats or other accessories. Trunks and dressers are good things as well for diplaying in an open drawer and utilizing the top. You could use wardrobes and space them out and use a wooden dowel between them for hanging clothing. What kindof budget are you thinking?

Thank you roj leather and Simon for your recommendations. I like the hanging chair and the almanda creeper on the wall. This will certainly liven up the patio.

This Cabinet is $155 at Ikea. You could take the 4 items you had hung, and put them in a "shadow box", or individual deep frames to tie then together, to create I piece that looks more substantial on the wall, Then add a little ledge for photos, and you would even have room on the cabinet for the cool bottles that were on the floor, and that cool chest could definitely find a home as an end table, or entry table. You could also add a larger plant in a really nice pot in turquoise. The cut and paste renditions arent always completely accurate in scale.

I'd go for make it white; then right there, flop one nice little white overstuffed loveseat or something that fit, or one big whopping chair, and fit in a tiny table and light; treat that corner as it's very own micro-retreat, and the seating is to not face out into the room. Like little lounge spots put under stairs, make this one dedicated to the view; and make it minimal. Decorate the rest of the room as if the column and retreat bit isn't there.
