    every gardener will have different ideas, from rows of veg, to astroturf to jungle to cottage. 
    Do you want to keep what you've got? all of it? some of it? none of it?
    You need to give a bit of a clue what you like / don't like. Photos are always useful too.

    Which way does it face?  What's the soil like?  Do you want more plants, more structure, more wildlife, less work....

    A pond in the corner - then you can sit and watch the wildlife.

    Right.  
    Plan B, extend the seating area?

    What about a small gazebo instead of a seating area?
