CITY VERSUS SEA – OUTDOOR LIVING ROOMS

Sea – A stunning outdoor living room on a deck overlooking the ocean! (above)

Summer…all I can think of is outdoor decor really. I love a beautiful outdoor space. Nothing like enjoying the outdoors with the comforts and design touches that we use inside our homes.

I like these two outdoor living spaces. One with a decidedly international flair and a striking ocean view and the other sits in a more controlled environment inside an elegant city brick wall townhouse courtyard. I like both for different reasons.

Which do you prefer…sea or city outdoor living room?

City – A cute structured outdoor courtyard in a London townhouse. (above and below)

I know I should chose the “sea” outdoor room for the views alone…but I think I might like the “city” look. Not sure though. Reason I chose the city is because I feel like this is a look that I could realistically have at some point. Realistic dreaming perhaps?

You? Which do you prefer? Weigh in please in the comments below.

Happy Tuesday!

    Coco I would absolutely take the ocean view! I love the intimacy of the City Look, so if one could accomplish that and have a killer view….

    I adore the design of the City look; but as a Pisces, I am destined to go with the ocean view every time.

    I’ve always been a city girl, but when I look at that sea living room…well, to quote Liz Lemon “I want to go to there.” water damage Frisco TX

    I love the city look because that is the look I am trying to achieve with my Boston oasis!

Seven laundry rooms that make the chore feel like Seven laundry rooms that make the chore feel like a treat. 🧺
The secret is simple: choose a cabinet color you love, add a floor with some pattern, and keep storage hidden or tucked into baskets. Light or dark, each of these rooms proves a hardworking space can still feel warm and personal.
Which one would you fold laundry in? 👇
Save this for your laundry room refresh.

Oak, travertine, and brass carry through every roo Oak, travertine, and brass carry through every room of the Grove Townhouse by Bunsa Studio. Paneled oak built-ins frame the living room, herringbone floors run into a kitchen with a marble backsplash and caned counter stools, and the terrace kitchen pairs a fluted island with terracotta tile. In the primary bath, a skylight opens over a travertine shower with twin brass rain heads, while a sculptural marble sink anchors the powder room and a paper lantern softens the kids’ room.
Which room is your favorite? Vote below 👇
Save this for your warm-minimal inspiration.

From an empty room to a cozy, layered living spaceFrom an empty room to a cozy, layered living space. 🤎
A little vision, a few thoughtful design choices, and the right textiles can completely change the feel of a room.
For this living room concept, we brought in the COCOCOZY Kip Rug to anchor the space and the COCOCOZY Quatrefoil Linen Pillows to add pattern, texture, and a touch of timeless charm.
We love how the warm caramel sofa, olive green accents, natural wood, and brass details come together to create a space that feels both inviting and elevated.
This is a room concept, imagined to showcase how COCOCOZY textiles and details can transform a space.
What do you think of the transformation? Would you live here? 🤎

A country contemporary farmhouse in Lincoln, MA, f A country contemporary farmhouse in Lincoln, MA, full of antiques, pattern, and natural texture. 🏡
A plaster chimney rises into the vaulted living room above a reclaimed-wood mantel. Lantern pendants and copper pots set the tone in the kitchen. The powder room goes all in on floral wallpaper and a gilt mirror. Grasscloth walls wrap a guest room with a built-in reading nook, and the bunk room is all sage beadboard and gingham. Old pieces and clean architecture work together, so the house feels collected, not decorated.
