As sunny days and warmer nights approach, it’s the perfect time to pay attention to the patio you’ve been neglecting. Even though it’s outdoors, it’s still a part of your home and should feel connected to rest of your space, so give it some love. Make it conducive for a quick daytime retreat or a friendly dinner under the stars. Whether you want your patio to act as a dining area, a fireside lounge, or a full-on family room, here are  decor ideas to bring the comforts (and chicness) of the inside out.

MOROCCAN-INSPIRED PATIO

A mix of piled-on pillows in fabric sourced from Peru, brass pendant lamps from Tazi Designs, and vintage statuettes create a cozy eclectic vibe on this Holly Kopman designed porch.

MIXED NEUTRAL PATIO

To give his Alabama patio a Moroccan theme, artist William Mclure paired a low, long table with a seating bench he transformed from an existing planter. To finish the look he added inexpensive cushions from Ikea.

Romantic scrollwork is the perfect backdrop for a vintage slipper chair paired with a petite table from Artisans du Liban et d’Orient at this chic guest house.

GARDEN WALL PATIO

A lush garden wall designed by Arne Maynard Garden Design surrounding a long wood table from Bloom with chairs from Design Within Reach anchored by flamed Portuguese limestone transform this London patio into an urban oasis.

URBAN OASIS

A wall of plants brings a bit of nature to this West Village patio while the custom sofa adds comfort. The chic coffee tables are Sedgwick & Brattle by Thom Filicia.

MOUNTAINSIDE LOUNGE

The covered terrace furnished with soft seating is a cozy space for watching TV or enjoying the flicker of the fireplace at this high-end Hudson Valley home.

BAYVIEW PATIO

A sofa from RH, Restoration Hardware, and lounge chairs by the Teak Warehouse create a cozy space for observing the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay from this Jay Jeffers designed apartment.

DELIGHTFUL SECLUDED PATIO

A table covered in a cloth by Pierre Frey and antique garden chairs from Provence, France, furnish a cozy brick patio outside a home in Normandy.
