Summer Design Inspiration from House Beautiful...

To continue my previous post, I wanted to share some additional summer-y design inspiration photos, this time from House Beautiful...Everything from bold colors to neutral palettes in outdoor patios, terraces, dining spaces, tablescapes, and living rooms...Enjoy!

Some of my favorites combos here...pink + green, hydrangea + peonies

Festive and inviting bar cart...love the clean lines of the gilt structure, interesting
use of vintage leather books, simple arrangement of fruit, bottles, etc...

Love the New England vibe of this little outdoor bar area...
Simple tablescape and furniture situated in this gravel patio allows
the gorgeous green landscape to take center stage...

Another earthy, gravel dining space flanked by beautiful lemon trees? LOVE!
Beautiful jewel tones in this tablescape...always love blue dinnerware, 
and the fun use of colorful glasses...

Love the organic and calm grey and bronze tones in the woodwork,
tile backsplash, and pendants. Earthy backdrop for colorful produce and floral arrangements

Such a clever use of these tall planters to hold full/lush greenery...
gives an overhead-garden feel to this tablescape

Fun blues and pinks create a cheerful table...

Kathryn Ireland Suzanni fabric provides a warm
tablecloth in this quaint poolside dining space...

Beautiful blue dining furniture and striped cushions
echo surrounding blues in the water and sky

How fun are these over-scale rattan lanterns!? Also, love the graphic black window 
and door trim to compliment the lines in the black and white chairs

So many interesting design elements in this Chicago kitchen...
the vaulted brick ceiling, large-scale lanterns, French bistro chairs and hexagon-tiled floor

Whimsical pops of red and yellow in this cheerful kitchen

LOVE this sunny (Palm Beach inspired?) family room in green and
white poppy upholstery, pops of pink pillows, colorful artwork, zebra rug 
Quirky mix of fabrics here...a great reminder to NOT take
design too seriously...should be light-hearted and fun
Speaking of whimsy, how adorable is this kid-friendly whale-motif wall-paper
A peak-through a colorful galley kitchen and children's room...
Airy and nautical living room...love the bold graphic rug and casual rattan furniture..

Bright and sunny living room in clean whites + bold coral hues and ikat patterns...
The fabric is repeated in this charming dining room...
love the (vintage?) bird prints, chinoiserie lantern and mirror...

Beautiful example of one of my fav color combos: blues and oranges...
Love the mix of rattan and wood, and Moroccan inspired accents

The blues and oranges again in this eclectic living room...
More blue and orange...love the neutral cream backdrop
and centerpiece...also the fun cabana stripes


Love the blues and oranges, and graphic patterns here...

The Florida kitchen of Liza Pulitzer Calhoun (daughter of Lilly Pulitzer)...
love the bold orange wall, and the graphic punch of the brown striped floor..

Another angle of this room...love the large scale ocean
photography (evidently by her son)

More from Liza Pulitzer Calhoun's cheerful Florida home...
LOVE the bold green walls in this room

And here is the quaint and kitschy bar area in her home...
perfect setting for some summer cocktails and live music perhaps?!
(Regal Beagle meets Key West?)

Love black and white palette, cabana striped pillows, with pops of red...





Beautiful inlaid chairs, rattan furniture, and pops of red create this charming outdoor space

Love this mountain home's outdoor fireplace...SO warm and cozy!

Another beatuiful outdoor fireplace...love the orange cushions!

Overscale French clock? YES!


Love the navy and white color scheme...

Curvilinear lines in this outdoor furniture + large scale palms 
+ sky blue fabrics = Chic, modern outdoor space

Love the pops of turquoise and emerald green...
reminiscent of the sky and sea

More designs incorporating various blue tones...

And blue again, here....LOVE!


Interesting archways to frame beautiful outdoor courtyard...

Mainly neutral hues with subtle blue accents...
love the archways repeated on both sides of this space


Another archway houses this sunny little nook...love how
the arched mirror reflects light throughout the space...

Love the delicate-yet-graphic lines in the furniture, strong 
architectural archways and soothing neutral color palette
Fun cabana stripes pop against an all white/cream color palette..
Neutral greys and creams given an earthy-stone vibe in this lush landscaped space..
And again in this terrace here...


Clean lines and monochromatic neutral palette create a calm and relaxing space...
And again, here...

And here...Love the use of outdoor drapery panels, such a cozy outdoor space!

Ahhh....the quintessential summer fire pit...LOVE!!

HAPPY SUMMER TO ALL!
