1. CASUAL ELEGANCE
In the abode of Cape Town-based interior designer Simone Hirsch is this sophisticated, modern verandah-it's situated in the new wing, and leads to a verdant garden and swimming pool. The restrained colour palette, traditionally styled fireplace and elegant lighting give the space the sort of refined flair that is usually only seen in interior living rooms, while the easy, outdoor-style furnishings convey a more casual feel. The result is a space that's perfect for entertaining.
Hirsch, who leads her namesake firm Simone Katherine Interiors, designed the coffee table for her abode and selected an oak couch with cushions in an outdoor navy fabric, piped in white. The wooden chairs with slatted backs are from Tribù.
2. BEYOND THE VINES
Featuring river-stone flooring, this enviable pergola-covered patio is part of a holiday property on the Balearic island of Mallorca in Spain. The pergola itself is supported by plastered masonry pillars, with a forged iron frame and cross-wire roof covered with bamboo and a salvaged mature grape vine that's a nod to the flourishing vineyards on the island.
The built-in seating was added during the home's recent renovation: "Small spaces always feel bigger with built-in seating arrangements," says design director Oro del Negro of Mallorca-based More Design. For this space, the team also selected seat pads and scatter cushions upholstered in Tibi Soft linen from Yutes, while the vintage wooden chair and table were both purchased by the homeowners at flea markets held on the island.
