A Beautiful and Earthy Outdoor Dining Space in the Coastal Region of ProvenceMarrying the functionality and formality of the indoors with the rustic nature of an outdoor space is no easy task. The area needs to be protected from the elements, but also embrace the very environment it needs protection from. Moreover, it needs to bring the purpose and comfort of the inside to the outside.UK interior designer Joanna Wood has mastered the art of the outdoor space. This gorgeous covered patio area seizes on the tan and taupe colors present in the rustic stone. The heavy dining table anchors the space, but yet remains almost neutral. The color of that large piece of furniture blending in so beautiful with the shades of the stone. The woven chairs adds a softer touch, but still remain true to the pallet. The natural green of the vines and plants are left to provide those necessary and desired pops of color. The patio dining space feels warm and inviting. A tiny sense of formality is created with the table properly set and the use of pale blue glass and the use of decorator pieces in the background. One can't help, but feel beckoned to sit down and enjoy a boisterous and lively meal alfresco. #outdoor #coveredpatio #patiospace #outdoordining #outdoorliving #backyard #garden 

Beautiful Outdoor Patio Cover Complete With Living RoofThis charming outdoor kitchen patio cover is located in Germany. The patio cover itself has a simple open box shape. The living roof, however, takes this uncomplicated structure from ordinary to spectacular.  This gorgeous living patio cover doesn't sacrifice beauty for practicality. It provides shelter from the elements. More importantly, however, it also provides a benefit to the environment in which it is erected. This visually intriguing structure is planted with variety of plants that attract beneficial pollinators. Outdoor shelters don't have to be simple and practical boxy eyesores. Nor do they need to be grand to be wonderful. By taking a clean shape and transforming it into a living element of the outdoors the style is also elevated.  #livingroof #outdoorliving #outdoorkitchen #patiocover #garden #landscape
