Our Top 10 Pools, Patios, and Porches

During the scorching summer months, there’s nothing better than diving in the pool or lounging in the shade. Outdoor retreats such as these can make this sometimes brutal season downright delightful.

Why we love it:

With low lounging furniture, the designer channels Marrakech but in an updated color palette. The crisp color combination of white, red, and gold is a tropical choice.
Sheer white curtains play in the breeze and give the area an atmosphere of elegance.
Covering the floor in an outdoor rug keeps the space tactile and inviting.
A floor lamp in the shape of a palm tree adds a whimsical element.
