Summer is too precious to
spend indoors. Whether
you have a spacious yard
or a minuscule balcony,
every square inch counts.
Here's how to make the
most of what you have and
create your own oasis.
Start from the ground up
In shoe-optional weather,
what's underfoot is crucial
to help create a space that
feels right. Grass, pebbles,
paving stones, decking—each
creates a different experience.
Try combining contrasting
elements, such as soft moss
alongside crunchy gravel or
colorful wild grasses next to
stone pavers.
