6 Ways to Escape to Your Own Backyard this Summer

Are you on the prowl for your next summer vacation spot but don’t have the time or resources to get away? This season, look no further than your own backyard for sunny solace! Using our favorite pieces from our design pals at Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens, we’ve curated six looks that speak to any exterior style, from cool and coastal to beachy and bold.

COASTAL COTTAGE_HEADER

Inspired by the crash of the waves against the Cape Code shoreline, Coastal Cottage evokes serenity with a cool color palette of light blue, classic cream, and bright white. A twist on a classic design, beachy textures balance smooth finishes for the perfect pairing of calm and contemporary.

Crisp and clean, the Lake Lodge style is a modern twist on a classic lakefront look. With a bold navy and red color scheme throughout, Lake Lodge puts a unique spin on timeless cabin style with interwoven textures, mixed patterns, and playful decor in a gorgeous mountain setting.

Unwavering in its preppy past, the Sporty Seaside style is rich in contrasting royal blue and white patterns, with nautical elements like the textured ropes, the smooth surfaces of decorative buoys, and sandy grit of the beach. Sporty Seaside is a style so seamless, it easily translates to any outdoor setting for the perfect evening of entertainment.
