outdoor spaces: which one do you adore?

I've always known that having a little space outside to call your own is important, but this summer I'm feeling it even more. We're longing for the days when we can have a tiny space for a bbq, table and chairs. I'd be out there every single day the sun was shining - sipping on my morning tea, reading a book and hosting dinner soirees. Of course this brought on the need to look and daydream for inspiration for my "future" outdoor space. All of these have something I adore: from the chairs to the greenery to the overall aesthetic.

The real question is, which one do you adore? What do you like about them or dislike? Can't wait for you to share!

Its a tie between no. 2 and no.3. I love the richness of the colors in 3, but lately I've been drawn to loving all white against dark wood like no. 2. All are gorgeous though!

They're all quite nice but #3 (the unknown photo) really speaks to me. So cozy, yet open. Now you have me daydreaming about it :)

My favorite was #2 - of course! But #1 was a close second. Love the neutrals and both look like a place you would never want to leave!

I'd be happy in every single one, but I love 2 the most. I think it's the fact that it's light and airy, but those rounded french doors are to die for.

I like five because it's colourful and cosy yet fresh all at the same time!

2 & 5 definitely!

2 seems like an amazingly peaceful place to recharge.

5 seems like a great place to host a little party!

first and forth ones are simply divine! I don't even have a tiny bit of outdoor space to enjoy here in my ground floor apartment and in the heart of the summer it's all that I need now!

It's such a tricky question because I feel each one is such a different aesthetic. My fav is two though!

i'm a little confused about these photos. are these your designs or have you downloaded these from the internet? if the latter is true, isn't that false advertising?

Can't decide between number 2 and 5. They're so different but both beautiful spaces. 2 is so serene 5 is so fun!
