\"Sea<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“I like treating outdoor spaces as rooms, with everything needed to make entertaining a breeze. The console provides an area to serve from, functions as a bar during larger gatherings and can hold hurricane lamps for additional lighting once the sun goes down,” says Jason Schwartz, of Meg Braff Designs<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vibrant cerulean is prominent throughout the Sea Island, Georgia, home, so when it came to painting the vintage bamboo-trimmed console<\/a> in the outdoor dining area, continuing the color scheme was a no-brainer. Photo by J. Savage Gibson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Betsy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Designer Betsy Shiverick<\/a>\u2019s deck in Aspen has many fabulous features, but one of her favorites is the automatic striped awning that instantly cools the space off on scorching summer days. “We sit outside all the time and enjoy the 180-degree view of the mountains and fields,” she says.

\"Outdoor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles\u2013based Suzanne Rheinstein<\/a> designed a sophisticated oasis in the all\u00e9e of a farm in the Virginia countryside, surrounding the clients’ own table with 10 wicker chairs<\/a> flown in from Montecito, California. “The owners entertain beautifully, and this was for one of their relaxed country lunch parties,” she says.

\n\n\n\n
\"McKinnon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“When the weather is warm, our family dines outdoors for most every meal,” says McKinnon and Harris<\/a> cofounder Anne Massie. As demonstrated by this vignette, in a tropical Mario Nievera<\/a>\u2013designed garden in Palm Beach, the company’s outdoor furniture makes alfresco eating both elegant and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The essential elements to create a relaxing fresh-air dining room in the garden are all here: our comfortable enduring duVal dining chair, Maury dining table and Perrow drinks cart<\/a>,\u201d says Massie. “The bougainvillea climbing on the wall created the perfect backdrop for a dining theater.” Photo by Kip Dawkins Photography<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“We wanted to achieve a sense of serenity, with all furnishings as a backdrop to the ocean,” says Chris Barrett, describing her design for the patio of a Los Angeles home<\/a> overlooking the Pacific. Shopping was a breeze, since Barrett found everything she needed from Janus et Cie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeking to make the space a true sanctuary for the clients, she covered the seating with fabric in their favorite color from Perennials. Mission accomplished. Photo by Victoria Pearson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“A quaint whaler\u2019s cottage near Sag Harbor village, built in 1790, this home was purchased with my mom as a weekend getaway. A mix of antiques sourced from 1stDibs and Round Top Market, together with custom pieces, fills the home,” says Michelle R. Smith<\/a>. “The screened dining porch off the back was added \u2014 a reference to my Louisiana childhood. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"Nest-designed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In her outdoor dining area in Houston, Jana Erwin, of Nest Design Group<\/a>, went for French country style with a modern flair. “I wanted the space to always have a living room feel without having to remove the art when we were having bad weather, so I found this for a steal and leave it out all year round!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With flea-market art and a vintage table from Jardin de France, the designer certainly nailed the rustic Gallic look! Photo by Julie Soefer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"Outdoor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether the family is gathered around the fire on the wicker seating or dining alfresco at the custom iron table, nights in this Linda Burkhardt\u2013designed outdoor space in Charlotte<\/a> are sure to be delightful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I love to incorporate a mix of vintage, made-to-order and ready-made pieces,” Burkhardt says. Of the custom table topped by a marble slab with a gray vein running through it, Burkhardt says, “It was reminiscent of the owner’s favorite cheese: Humboldt Fog.” Photo by Costas Picadas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"Palm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“The design for this Palm Beach outdoor area was inspired by the client\u2019s desire for a relaxing, easy space in which to enjoy time with the family,” says Ashleigh Wilson, senior designer at Gil Walsh Interiors<\/a>. And what could be easier than a table that switches from serving pool players to seating hungry diners with the addition of a locally crafted cypress wood top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vintage hurricane lanterns<\/a> pair perfectly with the Murray\u2019s Iron Works chairs, which pop against the neutral background. Photo by Kim Sargent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"Outdoor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Our overall goal with the exterior living spaces was to make them super social and capable of entertaining lots of people,” says Tami Ramsay, describing the vision she and fellow Cloth & Kind cofounder Krista Nye Nicholas had for this West Palm Beach abode<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the outdoor dining room, the designers surrounded a Zachary A. Design<\/a> table with sandblasted and freshly painted vintage Pan Am chairs<\/a>. Our favorite piece? The Paul Ferrante chandelier that they prepped for outdoor usage. The clients \u2014 a professional equestrian couple who live most of the time at their horse farm in Wellington, Florida \u2014 “love color, a playful approach to design and really unique, funky, vintage pieces,” says Nicholas.

\n\n\n\n
\"Outdoor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“We were inspired by the location, on the water in Southampton,” says Damon Liss<\/a>. The custom teak Janus et Cie table was designed to mimic the wooden slats on the ceiling, while the organic frame of the Holly Hunt dining chairs<\/a> relates to the surrounding nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most striking feature of this outdoor dining space is the Marset ceiling fixture, which casts a romantic glow on the table’s surface. Photo by Joshua McHugh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"McKinnon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lynn Morgan placed McKinnon and Harris Beaufort chairs<\/a> around a Skye dining table, echoed by the firm\u2019s red and white Virginia bench<\/a> set back on the lawn, to create a sumptuous dining area that does ample justice to the awe-inspiring surroundings: a Greenwich, Connecticut, garden created by Doyle Herman Design Associates (now split into James Doyle Design Associates and Kathryn Herman Design).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This has all the hallmarks of a Doyle Herman landscape \u2014 simplicity, elegance, timelessness, modern and traditional all rolled into one,” says McKinnon and Harris’s Anne Massie. “As beautiful as the garden is, it is also a living, breathing thing \u2014 loved and lived in by the family.” Photo by Ellen McDermott<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Corsica<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jean-Louis Deniot created this deck in Corsica, France<\/span><\/a>, with leisure in mind. \u201cI design outdoor dining with the same components as interior dining: c<\/span>handeliers above the table, outdoor speakers, hurricane candles on the table, table lamp on the bar. . . . I like when outdoor dining areas have the same comfort as indoor ones, but they are surrounded by nature,” he says. Deniot designed the dining table as well the large outdoor daybed. <\/span>Photo by Stephan Juillard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"East
Quogue Residence, Location: East Quogue NY, Architect: Robert A M Stern Architects<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For this home in East Quogue, New York<\/a>, “We wanted to avoid trite beach house d\u00e9cor, but worked in subtle nautical references such as the fretwork that mimics rope sailing knots,” says Gary Brewer, a partner at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, who designed this space, as well as all the light fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The dining porch, sized to accommodate a table for eight, opens off the dining room and adopts the circular shape of a gazebo to take advantage of 180-degree ocean views,” Brewer adds. “Edmund Hollander designed the landscape \u2014 I admire the way the dune grasses come all the way up to the porch railing \u2014 and Steven Gambrel was responsible for the furnishings.” Photo by Peter Aaron \/ OTTO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Manhattan<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Brian J. McCarthy designed this Manhattan terrace<\/a> for a couple with young children, so it needed to be casual and accessible for all ages. The large French wall lanterns in a bronze finish were from Charles Edwards<\/a>, and the outdoor furniture was from Janus et Cie and Munder Skiles. <\/span>Photo by Max Kim-Bee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"New<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was trying to create an outdoor space that had a dialogue with the interior of the apartment and that felt a little 1920s Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s<\/em>, but that was also thoroughly grounded in the present,\u201d Timothy Whealon says of this Manhattan apartment<\/a>. An Herm\u00e8s<\/a> ice bucket and a silver bowl by<\/span> Buccellati<\/a> add further touches of luxury. <\/span>Photo by Tim Street-Porter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The idea was to create a mood of gracious contemporary relaxation with a bit of 30s glamour,” <\/span>Suzanne Rheinstein says of this 1920s Mediterranean home in Bel Air<\/a>. The painted cane chairs are a mix of old and new, the Moroccan lanterns are vintage and the stone table was custom made. <\/span>Photo by Pieter Estersohn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Napa<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“We wanted to create a cozy spot in the olive orchard and used the warm colors to contrast the green of the trees and the neutral stone of the table and crushed granite on the ground,” Jeffry Weisman of Fisher Weisman says of this Napa Valley, California, dining area<\/a>. The wrought iron chairs are topped with cushions upholstered in fabric from Perennials. <\/span>Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We set out to create a rooftop oasis in the middle of the city,” Marty Dykas of Studio Dykas says of this Boston penthouse<\/a>. “Pulling inspiration from the client’s travels through Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, we designed a contemporary space with a bohemian spirit. Earthy tones and natural materials mesh with modern amenities and furnishings to create an urban sanctuary from which to enjoy views of both downtown Boston and the harbor.” A set of Dan Johnson’s Sol y Luna chairs<\/a> are pulled up to the teak dining table<\/a>.
