We’re working on a piece about outdoor living rooms and how designers are turning patios, decks, and covered porches into usable spaces for lounging and entertaining. I’d love to hear from interior designers, landscape designers, or outdoor living specialists on any of the following: 1. Which outdoor sofas, sectionals, and lounge chairs hold up to sun and weather, and which materials you recommend to clients. 2. How you anchor an outdoor seating area so it feels like a room, including outdoor rugs, pergolas, and planters used to define space. 3. The biggest mistakes you see in outdoor living rooms, such as mildew-prone cushions, poorly scaled furniture, missing shade plans, or insufficient lighting. 4. How you handle shade and lighting so the space works in afternoon heat and remains usable after dark. 5. Whether fully furnished outdoor living rooms are still worth the upkeep and who should skip them. A few sentences per question is plenty. If you have photos of outdoor living rooms you’ve designed, feel free to attach images or send a portfolio link. I’ll include your name, title, and company with anything used.
