When designing an inviting outdoor living space, the height of a display case near your sofa plays a crucial role in both aesthetics and functionality. The ideal height typically ranges between 24 to 30 inches (60 to 75 cm), aligning with the seat level of most outdoor sofas. This ensures easy access while maintaining visual harmony.

A lower display case (around 24 inches) works well for casual, loungy setups, allowing seamless interaction with decor items like books or candles. For a more formal look, opt for a taller case (up to 30 inches) to create a layered effect with plants or sculptures.

Consider the sofa’s design—low-profile modern pieces pair best with minimalist, mid-height cases, while bulky sectional sofas benefit from slightly elevated displays to balance proportions. Always leave at least 12 inches of space between the sofa and case for comfortable movement.

Materials matter too: weather-resistant woods or powder-coated metals ensure durability. For small patios, floating wall-mounted cases save space while maintaining the ideal viewing height.

Pro tip: Test the height by placing a temporary box—sit on the sofa and adjust until your line of sight feels natural when glancing at the display. This personalized approach guarantees both comfort and style in your outdoor oasis.
