The Best Porch, Patio and Deck Ideas From Across America

Lush tropical style turns patios in the Southeast into resort-level escapes. Teak seating (by Summer Classics), palm-leaf fabric and a lattice coffee table create a breezy ambience, with a bit of beachy boho from a white rug by Annie Selke’s Dash & Albert.

A scalloped patio umbrella (by Safavieh) gives this lounge area resort style — the perfect remedy to Arizona summers.

Classic good looks rule in outdoor hangouts of the Midwest, and this patio does tradition proud with its twin wicker chaises, striped cushions and blue-and-white scheme. The rug’s formal pattern ups the fanciness; the fringe keeps it laid-back.

The tiled fireplace surround and large ceramic planters give this patio setup Southwestern vibes to match its Santa Fe locale. The outdoor pillows are from Ballard Designs.
