No. 66 Fire & Spa · Colonial
Stone Fire Table on Flagstone Patio
Outside a Georgian colonial house with red brick and black shutters, a flagstone patio features a small stone fire table, wooden loungers, trimmed boxwood hedges, and connecting brick walkways.
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
