| Stashed safely in a stately louvered-look armoire, a flat-panel television is protected from the weather. (Think of it as a suburban drive-in!) |
| Brilliant summer rays tend to mute the appearance of color on patios (and in gardens) so adding almost neon-bright accents, like this cerulean vase and tangerine tray, keeps outdoor spaces lively. |
| Extending the patio's concrete pad to house the grill frees up dining space just outside the breakfast room doors. The red grill blends with the brick. |
| Bringing some of the colors and textures that clad the interior of the house to the exterior makes for a subtle, but satisfying, seamless experience. |
| When a suspended porch swing is simply a no-go, opt for a romantic glider topped with eye-popping colorful pillows, and then rock the night away. |
