4 Truly Stunning Ways to Elevate Your Outdoor Spaces

4 Truly Stunning Ways to Elevate Your Outdoor Spaces

You are cordially invited to a seriously decadent party en plein air with plenty of design ideas for your lawn, pool area, and more.

Now that there’s a chill in the air and a slowdown on outdoor entertaining, it’s the perfect time to plot out next season's looks for all of your al fresco spaces.

And while you’re at it, consider upping your design game this year beyond the usual essentials and accessories. Why tamp down your style just because your outdoor choices need to be weatherproof? There’s plenty of room for glamour and elegance out on a deck or lawn too—and the proof is in JANUS et Cie’s ensemble of sophisticated, expertly crafted outdoor pieces.

Ready to get inspired? Browse these stylish shots to find your new favorites.

Layered Textures = Luxury.


Woven Wing armchairs, Fibonacci Ava JANUSfiber side chairs, and a polished Carrara marble-topped Vino dining table give a backyard a sculpture garden-like look. Top it off with a mix of tableware and a sleek Montpelier polished steel lantern, all by JANUS et Cie.



Get Highbrow At The Pool


A striking piece like the geometric JANUSfiber Boxwood modular sofa adds more drama and style to poolside arrangements than a pair of quiet chaise lounges ever could. Combine it with arresting accents like JANUS et Cie’s Facet, Cube, or Bell side tables for a look that’s steps above cabana casual.



Go Big in Small Spaces


You can still add something sizable and daring to a small balcony, porch, or deck, provided you’ve got the right piece. Balanced and earth-toned, the woven fiber of JANUS et Cie’s Boxwood two-seat sofa lets light through, creating an airiness around it. The aluminum Hoffman cocktail tables and Vino side table do the same, while the Capri Butterfly pillow adds a colorful wink.



Accent Your Garden


A memorable piece of furniture standing solo amongst the topiary can be a statement as strong as a sculpture or other garden folly. The JANUS et Cie Boxwood lounge chair in smoke JANUSFiber with Riverwind Citrine cushions is all that and a comfortable place to while away an afternoon.
