Q: What does your ideal outdoor space look and feel like?

Artful Purpose • The key to a well-designed space is intention, and outdoor living rooms are no exception. Take, for example, this covered porch by Dodson Interiors, where creature comforts like stainless steel appliances, skirted upholstery, and a romantic chandelier transform the great outdoors into a room of stylish form and function. Indulgent finishes lend continuity to the indoor-outdoor flow and set the scene for gracious alfresco entertaining.
