Last time on the Loft we focused in on the organic beauty of the English landscapes. The good news is whether you're in England, or your own small back yard, it doesn't take much to turn just a patch of grass into an outdoor oasis. Outdoor living is meant to be relaxing and chill, so this summer we're taking it back to a simpler time. While there are an array of high quality fabrics and furniture available, it only takes a few pieces to achieve the classic summer vibe that we so adore. Today i'm sharing some of my favorite outdoor inspirations, splendid enough to take me back to Europe, yet simple enough to achieve right at home!

Comfort and style go hand in hand with this outdoor patio furniture presented by McKinnon and Harris. A neutral beige is the perfect compliment to this white furniture set, and a green plant is incorporated to tie in the freshness of nature.

The use of white is simple yet vibrant, providing a fresh and crisp look against with the naturally green surroundings.

You don't need an entire set of outdoor furniture to achieve an elegent exterior. Sometimes less is more, and in this case all it takes is plain lounge chair and small table. Again, the use of the color white suggests an effortless, understated design, allowing the beauty of the landscape to speak for itself.
