Outdoor Living At Its Best

For this Rancho Pacifica estate, which features a multi-level patio and an exotic pool and spa surrounded by gorgeous views of Rancho Santa Fe and Del Mar, Maria Barry of Le Dimora envisioned an indoor/outdoor environment that is colorful, inviting, and interesting. She opted for bold patterns that are cheerful and representative of current color schemes. “Colorful Sunbrella fabrics are becoming a popular trend in outdoor furnishings,” Maria Barry notes, adding, “All-weather wicker is durable and long-lasting for indoor/outdoor areas with little or no maintenance.” By incorporating woven outdoor furniture by Lane Venture, chaises and lounges by Pavillion Furniture, stonework by Accent Mosaics, and florals and greens by Rainforest Interiors, Barry created a comfortable entertaining environment that encompasses dining, conversing, and sun lounging areas.
