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

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.

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.

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.

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.
