Decorate With Mirrors
Decorating with mirrorsisn’t just for indoors.
A row of curtains on one side provides shade and privacy when needed or desired.
A sculptural stone coffee table and sleek gray-and-black seating adds sophistication.

A black metal ceiling fan helps keep things cool on scorching days.
A dramatic striped awning and gathered curtains adds a theatrical and slightly retro formal touch.

The stone patio transitions into a slightly raised outdoor wood deck that houses a spacious dining table and chairs.
Side tables with outdoor lanterns balance the light in the large open space after dark.
Tie-back curtains can be closed to create an intimate candlelit setting for special evenings.
