The living room is moving outdoors – and in 2026, it's all about soft lines. Forget rigid edges and strict symmetry. This season, outdoor living celebrates curves. With rounded wooden slats, flowing shapes, and sandy tones, your patio will transform into a true open-air sanctuary.
The shoot shown here was photographed by Jeroen van der Spek for VT WONEN magazine.
How do you keep the look harmonious? Ask interior stylist Cleo Scheulderman. Her tip: earthy tones. Combine the warm wood with textiles in cream, sand, and soft terracotta.
A generous, light-colored sunshade not only provides shade but also frames the dining area like a cozy blanket. Large terracotta pots with lush green plants and organically shaped accessories on the table complete the picture.
This way, every day in your own garden feels like a mini-vacation in the south.
