Indoor-Outdoor Living Island-Style
The great indoor-outdoors this summer is all about a well-curated patio setup.
When the days get longer and the nights bring family and friends over to talk story, it’s time to savor the benefits of your indoor-outdoor spaces. Many Hawaii homes are intentionally designed with living rooms that open to patios, decks or pool areas to take advantage of refreshing breezes and to provide extra room for entertaining. For the ultimate indoor-outdoor living arrangement, several elements are key: durable and cozy furnishings, refrigeration for food and beverages, and cooking units and prep areas for tasty summer meals. Here are some of our favorite indoor-outdoor living finds.

Powered by propane, the Ooni oven has a built-in flame safety device that automatically shuts off the gas supply when the flame is extinguished.
