10 of the Most Restful & Relaxing Outdoor Lounge Areas on Houzz India

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
