Secluded Gazebo

Iron lattice forms a gazebo planted with wisteria and jasmine to create a romantic outdoor dining area protected from the sun and wind. The pebbled terrace adds interest to the floor, while the chairs and lattice lend texture to the space. An iron chandelier lights the table from above.

Sunny & Sustainable Patio

Elegant and eco-friendly, this patio set is made from recyclable aluminum and weather-resistant fabrics, which are easy to clean and do not emit toxins. Hanging from a pergola overhead, a decorative lantern with bells forms a charming wind chime.

Moroccan-Inspired Entertaining

Dining outdoors can be as easy as tossing together a few pillows and a decorative table. Tucked between tall hedges, durable outdoor fabrics in electric hues capture the imagination. The table settings are just as colorful as the seating, so guests can fully embrace the Moroccan style.

Waterfront Blue & White Porch

An island home in Chesapeake Bay is an ideal location for a classic dinner party, particularly one hosted in a blue-and-white screened porch overlooking the Magothy River. A navy glass lantern anchors the circular space, and white wicker furniture adds to the preppy vibe.

Charming Southern Patio

This Atlanta patio reads casual Southern comfort underneath boughs of white blooms. Natural wooden furniture speaks to the surrounding garden, while classic stone tiling lends modern elegance.

Sophisticated Patio Dining

Natural stone and cream fabrics are enriched by glossy black details on this sophisticated patio. Delicate lines on the table and chairs are reflected in the home’s windows and balcony railing.

Colorful & Classy Terrace

Girly Venetian chandeliers hang above a long dining table decked out in mouth-watering pinks and peaches. The Seattle-area rooftop terrace houses perennial, rose, and herb gardens, ten different types of fruit trees, and several varieties of wisteria and honeysuckle.

“We entertain out here from April to October,” says homeowner and entertaining guru Heather Christothoulou. “Often the party will extend into the evening, so we added an outdoor fireplace for chillier weather.”
