Butterfly chairs have sink-right-in appeal, and a semicircle of them around a firepit is an open invite for s'mores in this Hillsborough, CA, yard. Lanterns in the tree make the whole space look magical.

GET THE VIBE The chairs are from Circa50; the hanging lanterns are from Tazi Designs and Etsy, but string lights can achieve a similar effect.

The only thing better than a porch swing is one that's practically a bed. When it's 38 inches deep like this one in Dover Plains, NY, there's room to sprawl out with a book-or kick back with the kids.
