Outdoor Rooms That Feel Like An Extension Of Your Home
Spending a gorgeous day under the sun or stars while enjoying the comforts of home is the ultimate luxury, and these beautiful outdoor rooms allow you to do exactly that. From cooking up a feast to relaxing with friends, these exterior rooms expand your living area while allowing you to breathe in a little more of that fresh summer air.
Spruce up your outdoor space with patterned throw pillows, a perfectly organized coffee table and a floral arrangement that looks like it was plucked straight from the property.
If there’s one thing this space doesn’t skimp on, it’s accessories. The designers recommend opting for a matching set when you’re decorating an outdoor space, and looking for stylish additions, like an area rug, lanterns, pillows, and trays.
Just like most indoor spaces, lighting can make a world of difference outside, too. Hang some string lights to get more use out of your deck.
Adding a bit of brights to an otherwise colorless space is a great way to make your outdoor area more inviting. Even an uncovered patio can be brightened up with a sleek light fixture.
This all-white outdoor space is elegant enough for even the most formal of dinner parties. Add the cozy conversation nook and your guests will have no reason to go inside.
This expansive backyard retreat is a great space to entertain, elevated only by the color coordination of its stylish decor.
If you want to get more out of your outdoor space, do like designer Katherine Newman and enclose your seating area with a gazebo that has large glass doors. They can be left open on warm, sunny days, and closed when the elements are against you.
This rooftop entertaining space has everything you need to host the ultimate summer soiree, with the welcome addition of beautiful sunsets and star-gazing.
A conversation set and coffee table in the right setting can create an extra living room in your home.
The elevated fireplace will keep this outdoor eating area warm long after summer is over.
From the chandelier to the oversized arm chairs, you could transport every detail of this outdoor space into your home and it would work seamlessly.
The charcoal gray-painted walls are dramatic and impactful enough to liven up the simple furniture in this outdoor dining space.
Just a few tiny tweaks took this backyard from drab to fab. Jacquelyn Clark of Lark & Linen kept her existing bench, added oversized cushions, string lights, a cozy throw, a fire pit and a few candles to make the seating area functional from spring through fall.
This lounge area proves that decorating is essential even in the outdoors. Look for weatherproof accent pieces that are as stylish as they are functional.
Accessories are just as important outside your home as they are within it. Tabletop ginger jars and candles, plush throw pillows and an area rug elevate the style of this elegant outdoor space.
This city escape has everything you could ever need to spend your entire summer outside: a kitchen to cook all your meals, a sleek dining area to eat them, and a comfortable sofa set to lounge on in between.
Shaded by lemon trees, this cozy cove is the perfect spot to lounge all summer long.
Tiles can do just as much for an outdoor entertaining area as they can for an indoor one. Look for a style that pulls inspiration from nature — think a bold blue or gorgeous green pattern like the ones on stylist Emily Henderson’s patio.
With the right accessories, an outdoor dining area can be just as stylish as the one inside your home. The designer spruced up this space with a natural runner and rustic light fixture.
