Summer is in the air — the sweet aroma of honeysuckle; the unmistakable smell of pool water; that tinny feeling just before a thunderstorm. It’s a time to embrace a slower pace, lighten the linens and relax by an outdoor oasis.
Our summer issue is full of summer inspiration. Our cover feature showcases the marriage of Caribbean cool and classic clean design for an outdoor living room with plenty of places to play, party and relax with friends.
Speaking of relaxing with friends, we feature an Uptown home that is an explosion of color and personality, all with the homeowner’s goal of providing just the right place to gather and entertain. Its clever design doesn’t shy away from bold pattern and saturated tones, in the best possible way.
We tour a modern take on the family home, with clean lines and sophisticated solutions to everyday living. It is a home that is at once contemporary and cool, as well as warm and inviting.
Finally, as always, we have design inspiration that brings the outside in, entertaining tips and a recipe for summer gatherings, poolside organizing ideas and some of our favorite seasonal picks for making your house a home.
Summer is here. We hope you will enjoy our dive into design.
