Celebrate the pleasures of cooking and entertaining outdoors. Sitting outside under a glorious blue sky – instead of under a roof hemmed in by shelves and walls. The best family backyards offer space for everyone to enjoy: somewhere to cook and share a meal outside, and an area to unwind in the evenings, a place for children to play and a quiet nook to enjoy a book or a glass of wine. Clever planning, comfy seating and a few vibrant accessories are all it takes to transform even the smallest backyard or windowsill into a private retreat.
