No. 54 Fire & Spa · Colonial
Covered Patio with Brick Outdoor Fireplace
Beside a Georgian colonial brick house with black shutters, a covered bluestone patio features an outdoor fireplace and hearth bordered by boxwood hedges, blooming hydrangeas, and a white picket fence in morning light.
Design notes
Colonial design is symmetry and restraint. Look for a central axis from the back door, matched beds and hedges either side, bluestone or brick terraces with tight joints, and white or black picket and post-and-rail fences. Planting is disciplined — boxwood, hydrangea, holly, dogwood and shade trees — and furniture is classic: teak benches, Windsor chairs, a market umbrella. Georgian brick, clapboard and shingle houses all suit it.
What to look for
- Conversation-distance seating all the way around
- Setback from structures, fences and branches
- A dry, lit path back to the house
