10 Mediterranean-Inspired Outdoor Spaces

Everything about this space is naturally engaging. The marble tabletop displays a stunning centerpiece of fresh basil and colorful spring flowers surrounded by terra-cotta place settings. Guests can enjoy pleasant conversation while dinner is being prepared in a wood-fired pizza oven adjacent to the dining table. An artisanal wine carafe helps finish off an intimate, well-crafted evening. Design by Jamie Durie

Designer Jamie Durie adds formal interest to this Italian-inspired backyard with grass and tile laid in a geometric pattern. Beyond the labyrinth-like pattern, the pool beckons through a trellised entry flanked by potted cypress trees.

A small, rooftop terrace provides the perfect place to take in the great outdoors. Terra-cotta pavers, Spanish tiles and stunning mountain views transport guests on a Mediterranean retreat. Potted herbs and shrubs enhance the Tuscan feel of the space. Design by Joan Grabel
