Outdoor & Exterior

Outdoor space gets treated as an afterthought until the first warm evening, and then it is suddenly the most-used room in the house. It also has rules the inside doesn’t: everything you choose has to survive weather, look right in full sun rather than lamplight, and read well from a distance — from the street, from a window, from the far end of the garden.

This section covers the whole exterior, from what the front of your house says before anyone knocks to what the back of it feels like at eight in the evening. Decks and patios, planting that fills in fast, lighting that doesn’t glare, and the decor that holds up through a winter. Practical where it needs to be, and never dull about it.
