Dine al fresco. Relax under a canopy of trees. Create a living room without walls. “Out” has never been more “in,” and spring is the perfect time to create that open-air retreat you’ve always wanted.      

Outdoor living is anything you want it to be, from a natural extension of indoor space (think deck, porch, or patio) to a spot of shade on the lawn. It can be a poolside party space or a lakeside retreat. Here are a few looks to inspire your own backyard paradise:

Eat Out 

The fresh air feast is one of life’s pleasures, and our transitional BiscayneTM collection kicks the contentment level up a notch. It’s the perfect blend of classic and modern, featuring a cast aluminum frame with a double-x motif, gentle scrolls, and elegantly carved stretchers. It’s comfortable, accommodating, and family friendly, too.

Chat it Up 

Take the talk outside with Millbrook: It’s an outdoor collection that has something to say. Crafted from kiln-dried, plantation-grown teak, Millbrook is built to last and looks great doing it. Its timeless style is at home on any porch or patio, so create a cozy arrangement and relax in style. It’s one part English garden and one part West Indies lanai.


Give it a Rest

Get away from it all with Willow Bay, an all-weather collection that’s generously scaled for comfort. It’s graceful and grand, with a cool, contemporary, tightly closed weave. Its rust-proof aluminum frame is strong and durable, so it’s ready for relaxation whenever you are. You can sit in this chaise all day and never worry about where the time has gone.
