The Spruce / Christopher Lee Foto

Interior designers and architects are always looking for clever ways to bring the outdoors inside. But bringing the comforts of the indoors to the outside has become a trend in recent years. Designers and manufacturers have developed innovative materials and products that make it easier than ever to make your outside space as stylish and comfortable as your interior.

It's now possible to find comfortable outdoor furniture, a range of colorful, patterned textiles such as rugs and throw pillows, and LED lighting in a range of styles and price points that are designed to withstand the elements and look as suitable indoors as out. This means that you don't have to sacrifice style to create a warm, relaxing, inviting outdoor space.

Check out these well dressed outdoor living rooms that provide bonus space for entertaining or just hanging out with the family in style.

M. Wilcox Design

Hate to leave your house but love to socialize? If you have the space, find your happy middle ground by creating a stunning outdoor living room. You don't need a lot of money or time (though they always help, don't they?) to turn your lawn chair setup into the place to be on a Saturday.

We're talking about outdoor living rooms, yes, but until we learn how to control the rain, it's a good idea to customize your seating areas so you'll always have at least one covered space. A sunroom that opens into a covered outdoor living room beside a pool gives you the best of everything, and you'll never have to call it an early night because of the rain.

You can keep your design choices simple when you have such beautiful outdoor tile laid on the ground. Even better than that, though, you can let the party (or the kids) run a bit wilder without worrying about cleanup.

Not only does a fan look good and will keep you cool, but a well-placed outdoor fan will also spare you a few bug bites. The airflow from the fan will disrupt mosquitos' flight paths, and you'll be able to relax without becoming dinner.

Want a bit of privacy and protection from the elements? You can use panels of curtains to enclose your outdoor living room. Be intentional about your hardware and fabric weight to add visual interest.

It's your home and your yard, but it's also home to the surrounding trees—and they probably were there first. There's no need to fight, however. Use existing trees and brushes as design challenges to spark your creativity, and build with nature in mind for a modern organic touch.

Mixing materials outside instantly ups your cool factor. Glass and iron meet marble and linen at this modern Spanish Revival home in Palm Springs, and the effect is sophisticated while still handsome and rustic.

An outdoor sectional is perfect for long nights spent talking under the stars with roughly five to seven of your closest friends—and that's not counting the ones on the butterfly chairs. To warm your hearts and your moonlit conversations, consider swapping your center table for a rustic metal fire pit. Voila, ambiance.

Metal chairs with detachable cushions might be a backyard standard, but nothing beats a big, plush couch. An outdoor slipcover lets you bring the best part of a living room outside. We love the idea of pairing it with a natural wood coffee table, too. It won't look dirty quickly, like a glass table, and it will age beautifully.

Studio KT

Opening up your home to create an indoor/outdoor living room frees up your possibilities for the rest of your space. This house flows directly into an outdoor kitchen and makes a compelling case for never leaving.

Woven rattan pendant lights provide the necessary contrast to the cool grays and whites of this outdoor living room, plus they tie back to the natural surroundings. Grouping similar woven pendant lights at different heights create a beautiful sculptural moment, too.

Afro Bohemian Living

An outdoor living room is an opportunity to design a more relaxed space than you typically would indoors. This sectional made out of painted pallets is youthful and cool, and the painted wood looks right at home under the thatched covering.

Summer is for reading. Scratch off a few titles from your list and dedicate part of your yard as an outdoor reading nook. While it might not make sense to put a hanging chair or hammock in your indoor living room, there's more room for whimsy (and places to secure ropes and chains, too) outside.

Purple Cherry Architects

The majority of us will never have the budget to recreate this outdoor living room, but it can still give us plenty of inspiration (and envy). Our first idea is often to build right alongside our home, but going to the back of the yard—by working along the fence or woods, for example—can open up your atmosphere.

If you're constantly dreaming of the Italian Rivera and have height and light to work with, opt for a classic awning over your outdoor space. A thick-striped awning will never go out of style, and it's easy to pair with a wide range of design styles and décor.

Milk And Honey Life

Karen Emile of Milk and Honey Life created a charming and practical outdoor oasis at her ranch home by putting up a simple shade sail. Shade sails add texture and color while blocking UV rays, and they're much larger and more affordable than most umbrellas. You can have one up in your yard this time next weekend for little more than thirty bucks.

Does it even need to be said? Where there are fairy lights, there's romance. Make your yard the most charming date night spot in town with a few strings and a flip of a switch.

White Sands

You probably wouldn't invite guests to sit on your living room floor, but we'd be willing to bet they'd be delighted to relax on these oversized pillows on a hot summer day. Just keep the beverages coming.

A big rug can really tie a space together and soften a concrete "yard" or patio. Adding a large area rug is also a great one-step trick for revamping your look, especially if you want to experiment with natural fibers in a modern space.

TVs are the altars of most living rooms. Going outside doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your shows—and bonus points if your TV is above an outdoor fireplace, too.

19 Outdoor Living Room Ideas Perfect for Relaxing Summer Nights

Summer Party: Backyard Party Ideas

Leave the intricate fads and fuss for winter fun - now is the time to relax and forget about worries!

A summer party in the country is a great idea: you don't have to spend hours at the stove for a gourmet dinner and spend time cleaning the house and other preparations. Make your life easier with an outdoor party. Apart from snacks for a summer party, all you need is simple street decorations - they will not cost a lot of money, and some you can even do yourself. For your attention - a number of ideas on how to have a party in the country or organize a matinee. nine0005

1. Build a table out of ordinary goats
Do you have enough furniture in your garden to throw a dacha party for a big company? Take a couple of ordinary wood sawing goats (you can borrow from neighbors) and cover them with several boards or one wide board (an old door, a large mirror) - and the party table is ready! An impromptu tabletop can be left as is, painted, covered with a tablecloth or parchment paper. nine0005

2. Turn a wooden crate into a freezer
Any old crate lined with plastic wrap turns into a rustic open ice bin. Of course, this is not a real refrigerator, but it will do for beer and lemonade.

3. No box? Use any container
A garden cart, a wheelbarrow, an enameled bucket or even the bed of a kids' truck, any of these items can make a makeshift ice container for a summer party. Just put a film or a regular bag inside ─ you're done! nine0005

4. Give your garden bar a beachy look
If you're having a summer party in your country house, the easiest way is to make a thatched roof or shed. Naturally, you do not have to order panels from palm leaves via the Internet - in Russia, from ancient times, roofs were made from reeds or ordinary straw. Attach them to the roof of a gazebo or shed for a summer party.

5. Make candle holders in the forest style
Roll up a wide green leaf and place it in a glass jar. Then pour water and place a floating candle. Another option for a party is to wrap a piece of birch bark around a jar or candle holder and secure it with coarse string.

6. Or at the beach!
Pour a little sand into a screw-top jar for an unusual summer candle. One of the advantages of such a candle is that it is easy to turn it into a flashlight. Just tie a flexible wire to the neck and hang the jar on a tree. If you are afraid of starting a fire during a party, use candle-shaped LED flashlights or battery-powered electric ones. nine0005

7. Arrange flowers in lemonade bottles
Tall, narrow bottles can be a fun table decoration during a party. You won't need any effort at all. Just line up the bottles in a row and put a flower in each of them. The best option for a party is daisies, gerberas and sunflowers.

8. Don't rush to be 100% ready
To make your summer party a success, involve your guests in the celebration. Ask them to help you squeeze lemons for homemade lemonade, turn the handle of an old-fashioned ice cream maker, or give them a pruner and send them to the garden to cut a bouquet for table decoration. nine0005

9. Seat all the guests at one big table
Such a feast for a party in the country is a great idea. If you do not have a large table, move two or even three together - the effect will exceed all your expectations.

Corynne Pless

10. Use old crates for trays
Vintage wooden soda crates are the perfect summertime party container. It is convenient to take glasses, vases, napkins, candlesticks into the garden in them - in general, everything you need for a party. Another option is to put such a box on the table. Let there be cutlery in one compartment in a glass jar, napkins in another, toothpicks or drinking straws in the third. nine0005

11. Create a special atmosphere with lanterns and signs
A good idea for a party is to mark the party area by placing a pair of lanterns with candles at the entrance. Place a board next to it, on which the menu will be written in chalk or simply: “Welcome!”.

12. Serve guests summer-only drinks
Fill a large pitcher with ice water and add lemon or orange wedges, mint leaves, berries, or even cucumber slices. A healthy refreshing drink is ready! You have no idea how many people would prefer a sip of water to a sweet soda. nine0005

13. Set your table in the shade
There's nothing worse than trying to appreciate a delicious meal while sitting in the hot sun. Therefore, if you are having a party in the morning or afternoon, place the table in the shade of a tree or under an awning. In extreme cases, you will have to spend money on buying a pair of umbrellas.

14. Don't give mosquitoes a chance
If you have a pond in your garden, don't forget to clean it regularly, otherwise mosquitoes will breed there. There are places where there are generally a lot of mosquitoes and midges, in which case it is better to organize a holiday during the day. Another option is to move dinner to the porch behind a mosquito net: this way you will still be in the open air and your guests will not be bitten by insects. nine0005

15. Divide the garden or yard into several zones for a crowded holiday
How to arrange a party in the country, because it is not easy to entertain a large crowd of guests? To keep your backyard party fun, let them entertain themselves. To do this, create several points of attraction: a dining table, a fire, a couple of chairs on the porch, and an outdoor bar. The guests themselves will be divided into several small groups, and it will be much easier to cope with the party.

16. Pack your things for the summer holidays in advance
hour before guests arrive. Most of these items don't even need to be bought, just collect jam jars, wash beautifully patterned tins - there you have vases and candlesticks for the party. And think twice before throwing away an old sheet. If there are no holes on it, it can be a great outdoor tablecloth! nine0005

Celia Bedilia

17. Create bouquets from what grows in the garden
Cutting flowers and branches in your own garden costs nothing and is a million times more interesting than buying. Take a look at your garden in a new way and pick something unexpected for a bouquet. Dandelions in a glass jar look charming, blooming onions look romantic, and an artichoke in a bouquet on the table will become not only a decoration, but also a conversation point - your summer party will be remembered for a long time.

18. Hang bouquets on the tree
Use an awl or drill to make two holes in the cans. Thread the wire through the holes so the jar can be hung from a tree branch. Now it remains only to put small bouquets of flowers in them. The jars themselves can be decorated with multi-colored fabric or left as is.

Thom Filicia Inc.

19. Think over the program of the evening
Move around! It's a great way to keep the party going and keep it going, as well as give a fresh start to conversation. Snacks and drinks can be served on the veranda, dinner can be enjoyed in the garden, and desserts can be enjoyed by the fire. After dessert, you can take mugs with the remaining tea with you and take a walk to the nearest pond or other beautiful place. nine0005

Breakfast on the balcony

What could be better than a leisurely start to the day in the morning sun with a cup of aromatic coffee? Folding furniture will help to arrange a breakfast area on a small balcony in summer.

Stylish furniture, quality materials and thoughtful design will make the bathroom your “place of power”. In addition to the requirements for aesthetics, for manufacturers, the individual needs of customers, their desire to adapt items to their tastes and habits, are becoming increasingly important. “The bathroom is the new living room,” the designers say. New realities, when we spend most of our time at home, dictate new formats of arrangement. It is important to organize not only a comfortable space with enough storage space, but also a special home SPA atmosphere. With the right textures, lighting and decor, you can create a real oasis for relaxation and meditation. And shades in the nostalgic colors of the 70s will answer for a good mood. nine0005

Pantone has announced 17-3938 Very Peri (Periwinkle) as its Color of the Year 2022. Interestingly, for the first time in its 22-year history, the institute has created a completely new shade that combines a calm blue color with an energetic red undertone.
