The Great Outdoors

I recently found some really great pictures of outdoor spaces that I wanted to post. Outdoor spaces have always been a favorite of mine. They are so interesting and can really change the mood of any type of room.

The picture above is of a smaller, more simple outdoor space. This particular modern and clean cut design is not my favorite but I do like the idea of the design. The contrast between the plants, the woven furniture and the textured wood flooring to the sharp edges and colors like grey, black and white as well as the small accent of blue keep things looking very interesting.
In this design the room is built into the outdoors not on it. I love that it works with the surrounding small hedges and the vines that work their way up the back wall. The cabinets, furniture and wall panels are a very rich light brown that brings a very warm and comfortable feeling to the space as do the lights around the floor.
The picture above is my personal favorite. The hard charcoal colors in the fireplace against the light floor and the beautiful wooden furniture, the white cushions and the slight touch of pale green, the woven accents and of course the surrounding environment of trees and lots of plants give the room a really great mood. The outdoor style brings a look that is serine, comfortable, relaxing and very appealing that I absolutely love.

  1. Great work! This is the kind of blog readers want to read! Don't forget to add pictures of details like a specific couch or even some outdoor dishes, not just pictures of entire spaces.
