Another fun way to link your homes interior with your patio? A pass-through bar will allow you to serve your guests food and drinks without continually running back and forth. We love that this homes pass-through is styled with barstools on either side. That means the bar is enjoyable all year long... and that you can enjoy the outside with all the benefits of your air conditioning!

Were fully embracing that comfortable and practical are the magic words this season. Get the look by shopping inviting couches and outdoor sectionals with durable fabrics.
