Deck Sitting Area Features Blue Cushions and Pillows Inspired by the Sea

This New Hampshire beach house's color palette of blue, indigo and white is thoughtfully carried outdoors to the deck seating area, where the inspiration of the palette becomes fully evident in views of the nearby Atlantic Ocean.

Beach House Deck With Fire Pit

Off the side of the house is a wonderful deck, warmed by a fire pit and sheltered by the house and a low wall. Water views expand to the horizon.

Coastal Porch With Shingle Siding

For a patio on the lakefront, furnishings needed to be kid-friendly and able to withstand the elements. The solution: aluminum chairs and a fully upholstered sofa made of marine-grade wood and quick dry foam which could handle getting wet. Classic barn lights above the French doors add a decidedly coastal feel.

Coastal Porch Sitting Area With Ocean View

On this porch, white wicker seating pairs with navy blue cushions for the perfect nautical-themed setting from which to watch the water.

From: Debra Lynn Henno

From: Bea Pila

Stunning Waterfront Patio and Balcony

Waterfront views can be enjoyed from both the lower-level patio or the balcony of this coastal home. A wood dining table and chairs make for easy alfresco dining on the lower patio. Stone pavers that extend to the water are a nod to the rocky shoreline.

Covered Waterfront Patio With Stone Floor, Woven Ottoman

A breezy patio expansion preserves the views of the Puget Sound while providing covered seating to enjoy the scenery. A round woven seagrass coffee table, versatile outdoor rugs and red accents keep the look decidedly relaxed and coastal.

Coastal Porch Swing and Cocktails

Coastal style feels fresh and fun on this restaurant's deck, where a seat on a porch swing goes so well with a candy-colored cocktail.

Patio With Blue and White Chairs

Coastal sconces, a crisp white pergola and blue-and-white furniture take this lakefront patio in a nautical direction.

From: Mom's Design Build

Lakefront Patio and Fireplace

Stone steps lead from the upper level patios down to this open air spot, where adirondack chairs are gathered around a wood-burning fireplace. The husband of the house likes to retreat here with friends and a few cigars.

From: Mom's Design Build

Covered Patio With Wine and Cheese

Motorized louvers make it easy to enjoy this comfortable patio rain or shine. The pergola also has the advantage of acting as a pretty frame for views of lake and trees.

Beach House Balcony Offers Panoramic Views of Sand Dunes, Atlantic Ocean

A public beach access walkway creates additional space between this New Hampshire beach house and the neighboring one and opens up more panoramic views from the two upper levels of the home. Glass safety walls were chosen for the balcony, limiting the interruption of the views of the sand dunes and Atlantic Ocean.

From: Kristina Crestin

Covered Porch With Ocean Views

The covered porch has a stone-clad outdoor fireplace, a must for ocean breezes and chilly Maine evenings.

From: Spang Builders, Inc.

Contemporary Deck With Ocean View

The only bad part about evenings on this deck—overlooking the ocean, seated around the fire pit—is that they can't go on forever.

From: Urban Dwellings

Waterfront Porch With Blue Floor

The back porch floor gets a coat of sky blue paint, a beautiful complement to the peaceful oceanfront setting.

Outdoor Lounge With Oceanside Seating

From: Turks and Caicos Property

Covered Patio With Bright Blue & Green Accessories

This outdoor lounge is connected to the outdoor dining area, kitchen and pool, making it the ideal spot for entertaining.

Small Patio With Seafoam Blue Striped Rug Under Woven Bubble Furniture With Yellow Throw Pillows

In a small outdoor space, an outdoor rug can play multiple roles, creating a seating "island" as it does here, adding color and style, and making the area appear larger thanks to the introduction of an overall pattern. Designer Annastasia Mitchell chose this rug carefully for its seafoam blue color, which repeats the apartment’s interior color palette, "providing a sense of visual flow," she says, and to repeat the horizontal pattern of the louvered windows.

Beach Bungalow Porch With Cushioned Swing

The covered porch is a nice place to grab a seat on the cushioned swing and let the ocean waves soothe your mind.

From: Chango and Co.
