Now that there’s a chill in the air and a slowdown on outdoor entertaining, it’s the perfect time to plot out next season’s looks for all of your al fresco spaces.
And while you’re at it, consider upping your design game this year beyond the usual essentials and accessories. Why tamp down your style just because your outdoor choices need to be weatherproof? There’s plenty of room for glamour and elegance out on a deck or lawn too—and the proof is in ensemble of sophisticated, expertly crafted outdoor pieces.

Layered Textures = Luxury.
Woven Wing armchairs, arm chairs, and a polished Carrara marble-topped Vino dining table give a backyard a sculpture garden-like look. Top it off with a mix of tableware and a sleek Montpelier polished steel lantern.
Get Highbrow At The Pool
A striking piece like the geometric boxwood modular sofa adds more drama and style to poolside arrangements than a pair of quiet chaise lounges ever could.Look that’s steps above cabana casual.
Go Big in Small Spaces
You can still add something sizable and daring to a small balcony, porch, or deck, provided you’ve got the right piece. Balanced and earth-toned, the woven fiber of Boxwood two-seat sofa lets light through, creating an airiness around it. The aluminum Hoffman cocktail tables and Vino side table do the same, while the Capri Butterfly pillow adds a colorful wink.
Accent Your Garden
A memorable piece of furniture standing solo amongst the topiary can be a statement as strong as a sculpture or other garden folly. The Boxwood lounge chair in smoke with Riverwind Citrine cushions is all that and a comfortable place to while away an afternoon.
