Looking to build your outdoor lounge area from scratch or simply want to do up the existing one smartly? These varied outdoor lounge ideas can help.

Dipen Gada and Associates

1. This space, designed by Dipen Gada and Associates, with stone flooring, jali screens and brick walls is like an extension of the interiors. The jhoola, sofa chairs and dainty lanterns create a refreshing, cheerful atmosphere.

Hiren Patel Architects

2. I like how Hiren Patel Architects gives a sculptural touch to an outdoor seating area. The all-wood gazebo looks striking against the carpet of green grass – the wooden slats give a clean, smart look and the seats with carved backs add to the luxe quotient of the area.

Khosla Associates

3. This Bangalore home by Khosla Associates surrounds a lush courtyard garden in the centre. The shaded area with a couple of chairs becomes an idyllic oasis, with its proximity to a pond and tall venerable trees – an ideal spot for conversations or siestas.

Architecture Paradigm

4. This seating area is a quaint hideaway, far from the bustle of the city. Architecture Paradigm transforms the outdoor space between the house and boundary wall into a dainty garden retreat tucked between a greenery-covered wall and a sculptural facade of wooden slats, fringed by more plants.

iStudio architecture

5. Minimal, smart and relaxing – this high-rise balcony by iStudio architecture creates a calm and cheerful spot with two yellow metal chairs and table, brightened up by dainty pendant lights above.

These balconies redefine the art of lounging

TAO Architecture Pvt. Ltd.

6. This outdoor space by Tao Architecture Pvt. Ltd. is a luxurious lounging spot enhanced with a swimming pool, bar and greenery. The pool chairs on one side are ideal to lie back with a cocktail, while the stone flooring turns to a pebbled band to catch sloshed water and connect with the wooden decking that edges the pool and covers the steps into it. This warm detail looks good and is kind to bare feet – and other tender parts of the anatomy when you sit down to soak your feet in the pool.

Studio Course

7. Studio Course designed this balcony lounge like a traditional courtyard, complete with a raised platform round a ‘tree’ (replaced by tall potted plants here). The greenery, the slatted roof of natural wood and extensive use of rough stone give a rustic feel to this space, and should not be too difficult to fashion in an urban balcony or terrace. The modest but adequate light adds to the sense of a woodland retreat.

The Raj Company

8. This terrace provides views far and wide of the city – a dreamy spot to relax in and enjoy a cuppa with friends. The space, furnished by The Raj Company, has comfortable teakwood chairs and sofas set near a low glass-and-metal railing, with potted plants to add a touch of the garden.

Group DCA

9. Not just for casual afternoons or evenings, this partially covered outdoor patio by Group DCA with a round table and multiple chairs is also apt for prolonged meals and parties. A round table is a great space-saver and can seat more people, as it lacks corners.

Atelier Design N Domain

10. Atelier Design N Domain sure knows how to create an eye-catching outdoor lounge area – see how Zen and restful this space looks. The square concrete seating arrangement, softened with plush cushions, can easily accommodate a large family or gathering of friends – the water body around it keeps the space cool and calm.
