1. Comfy Courtyard Patio:
In the courtyard of a Palm Beach maisonette, the Lane Venture sofas and ottoman with cushions in Sunbrella textiles form a comfortable nesting area. Wicker, according to designer Mimi McMakin, “is quintessential Palm Beach.” And the new synthetic materials are a blessing.
2. Breakfast Patio Spot:
Rela Gleason’s home in Sonoma, California, features a popular breakfast location with a round table and wicker seats shaded by oak trees.
3. Dramatic Patio Ceiling:
A ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore’s Aura in Black Knight makes for a handsome porch used year-round thanks to a fireplace and fans in a Nashville house designed by Markham Roberts. The teak sofa and armchairs by Restoration Hardware are covered in Kravet Navy canvas and Quadrille’s Island ikat custom-printed on Sunbrella fabric.
4. Patio Swing:
Liza Pulitzer Calhoun’s Palm Beach home’s swinging daybed was constructed by builder Tim Givens, and she covered the seat with a favorite tablecloth.
5. Colorful Patio Nook:
In a California house designed by Stephen Shubel, homeowner Gabriella Sarlo sometimes commandeers furniture from her cellar and sets it up outside for alfresco dining under century-old oak trees.
6. Sunny Pool house Patio:
In a Naples, Florida, house by Carrier & Company, the pool house, with cushions in Pollack’s Shoreline fabric, “was a cavern before we installed the mirror,” designer Jesse Carrier says. “Now it reflects the light and is so inviting.”
7. Ivy-Covered Patio Walls:
A brand-new South Carolina home designed by Michelle Prentice has mature palmetto trees and fig ivy that soften brick walls in the indoor courtyard. The West Elm sofa is covered in Sunbrella fabric.
8. High Altitude Patio:
Matt O’Dorisio created this elevated outdoor patio for a Lake Tahoe vacation home. The seating area combines contemporary teak with more traditional wicker. “It’s like an extension of the living room into the forest,” he says.
9. Eye-Catching Tiles:
An eye-catching tile on the patio can make all the difference. Choose a whimsical pattern with bright colors, and then use more timeless and neutral furniture that won’t overwhelm the eye.
10. Gas Patio Fireplace:
On chilly fall evenings, a gas-powered outdoor fireplace warms the loggia of a Matthew Quinn-designed home near Atlanta. The planters by Ballard Designs are fashioned like olive oil jars.
11. Dramatic Sofa Swings:
Swing sofas are relaxing and comfortable; plus, they’re more visually intriguing than your average seating. That’s especially true if you play with scale and proportion, as in this space.
12. Patio Fire Bowl:
This California holiday home captures Ojai’s laid-back, carefree spirit with a subdued color scheme drawn from the orange grove in the rear. The family can remain outside in a comfortable seating area with a fire bowl on cool evenings.
13. Breakfast Outdoor Patio:
Using French café seats and a stone table, Wendy Owen turned her Sonoma home into a “breakfast patio.” Astier de Villatte created the dishes.
14. Old-Fashioned Fountain:
A corner fountain completes this lovely patio by Kingston Lafferty Design. The blue patio furniture offsets the cooler tones from the exposed brick.
15. Whimsical Tiles:
You may choose a conventional wood deck or make a statement with a patio like this one by Kingston Lafferty. The quirky tiles fill the room with excitement and buoyancy, but the contemporary sconces and cobalt blue table give it an edge.
16. Custom Fire Pit:
ETC.etera added unique cushions to the built-in bench to make this outdoor fire pit even cozier and more fashionable. The printed fabric gives the piece personality, color, and, most importantly, a comfortable place to sit by the fire.
17. Wall Planters:
Planters of varying sizes can be used to decorate a patio wall. Southern California–based LH Designs succulents were used to spruce these up.
18. Footpath to Tile:
Landscape designer and Terremoto founder David Godshall opted for a creative hardscape instead of grass in this backyard. Not only do playful tiles allow for a welcome pop of color, but they’re also drought-friendly and easier to maintain. The lush flora surrounding the area allows for plenty of green despite the lack of grass.
19.Blooming Bougainvillea:
Designer Madeline Stuart gave the backyard of this SoCal home by architects Wallace Neff and John Byers a dreamy garden oasis with antique accent lighting and plenty of bougainvilleas. To warm up the patio further, she added an area rug and opted for chocolate brown cushions.
20. Hanging Hammock:
The occupants hung a hammock at a Seattle home by Studio DIAA that floats on water for a truly restful backyard experience. They also like placing an essential oil diffuser on the cedar deck to maximize the spa vibes further. Even if you don’t have a floating home, you can still hang a hammock somewhere peaceful on the patio.
