Winter in the Pacific Northwest can definitely be a challenge as we experience shorter days, endless rain, and those moody gray clouds! But turning your outdoor space into a spot you can enjoy all year long makes a difference for both your home and your wellbeing. Hopefully these photos inspire you to make your outdoor space one you’ll love no matter the season!

Designed with a sleek black-and-white palette, the area feels bold yet inviting, thanks to its mix of textures and thoughtful details. A sectional and lounge chair outfitted with layers of patterned and solid pillows create a welcoming spot for conversation or relaxation by the fire.

The unique geometric white tile is not only visually striking but also surprisingly functional.

This makes it much easier to maintain, with less scrubbing and upkeep required over time.

This dining nook strikes a beautiful balance between cozy and elegant. It flows seamlessly from the kitchen and has a wall of windows that provide generous natural light. We used a round table to anchor the space and brought in custom deep-blue chairs that bring richness and texture to the room.

The gold shower fixtures instantly elevate the design, bringing in just the right amount of glam and sparkle. They catch the light beautifully, adding warmth and a little touch of luxury to the cool tones of the tile. It’s like jewelry for the bathroom!

The shower floor features a marbled triangular tile that adds visual interest and texture. Its intricate pattern draws the eye and creates a sense of movement beneath the larger stone-look walls. This detailed touch balances the clean lines of the space while adding depth and character.
