An outdoor space is a room with a view-anything from a family garden or an exposed roof terrace to a tiny balcony. These spaces often present a challenge to the decorator because of their exposure to weather, their limited size, and their unusual shape. This affordable book offers countless ideas for creating gorgeous outdoor spaces as gathering places for friends and family, or as soothing hideaways. From assessing space to lighting, furniture, and planting, every page is filled with solutions. Full-color photographs, useful checklists, and three actual garden "makeovers" show how any outside space can be transformed into lovely extension of the home.
