As we head into Memorial Day weekend and the start of the summer season, we’re taking a look at a few favorite outdoor spaces from both our residential interior design and hospitality projects. From thoughtful layouts to inviting details designed for gathering and relaxing, these spaces are filled with inspiration for elevated outdoor living in the months ahead.

From coastal second homes and multigenerational retreats to boutique hospitality destinations, outdoor living spaces continue to be top of mind this time of year. As more homeowners look to create seamless indoor-outdoor living experiences, we’re seeing a continued focus on relaxed comfort, refined entertaining, and outdoor spaces designed to feel like a true escape. Inspired by travel, waterfront settings, and resort-style living, these projects blend natural textures, layered furnishings, and thoughtful details that encourage gathering, relaxing, and creating lasting summer memories.
