What to do with a shaded corner of back yard, where nothing grows?

One corner of the back yard is shaded and nothing grows there. We're wondering whether to add patio stones and make a little sitting area, and we're open to any other ideas you may have. Thank you.

Love the idea of the flagstone or cobblestone sitting area.. maybe add an outside fire pit and a few potted shade plants ..
You could add pea gravel and large stones and make a rock garden.
Make a sitting area, you'll be cool, and the stone might not be a good choice. You can't put a chair or table on it.
There are perennial shade-loving plants that thrive on neglect ( my favorite type) such as ferns, hosta, lily of the valley. Any nursery can guide you. Mosses are another ootion...you never need to mow and they stay green yr-round.
plant hostas or shade loving plants I have the same problem and we also put in mondo grass and it works well
hat have you tried to plant?what is your location?what is the soil condition
I planted ferns in deep shade and they look wonderful.
