No longer prisoners to cookie-cutter patios, people are increasingly bringing their daily lives outdoors. Whether an intimate hideaway off the master bedroom or an outdoor dining area for the whole family, patios can be as private or public as you want.
A little ingenuity and a good plan turned this hot concrete patio into a cool, inviting outdoor dining room. A large, colorful floorcloth covers the bland concrete; and bright white planters, the sides topped with trellises, surround the space. Overhead, an arbor draped with white canvas blocks the heat of the midday sun but still lets in plenty of light. 
This contemplative sanctuary space uses lattice to complement the Asian-inspired design. The rich tones highlight the room's focal point'an intriguing stone carving set in the lattice wall'and lend warmth to the space. The latticework also melds well with the lush and abundant foliage.
A welcoming garden room such as this has all the comforts of an indoor room. Crisp white lattice walls pair with the wicker furniture to create a light and airy atmosphere. An iron coffee table provides a place to set refreshments. A whimsical sconce, an antique platter, and a floral-theme print give the room a truly lived-in look.
An elegant iron gazebo sports mandevilla vines in pots that anchor the edges, and wisps of white mosquito netting to give this outdoor dining room a decidedly romantic flair. Iron-with-wicker furniture complements the structure and provides a relaxing spot to sit and enjoy food with good company. 
Exuding all the comforts of the indoors, this inviting sitting room is sure to lure guests into the garden. Family and friends relax on the handmade furniture (crafted of tree branches) that wraps around the beehive fireplace. The climbing vines soften the expansive brick surfaces, and potted plants add lively touches of color to the earthy tones of the space.
