The 14 Most Inviting Terraces From the Vogue Archives

Wouldn’t it be nice to live outdoors all summer long? Wiling away the hours lounging on a cushy sofa and dining at a lightly shaded table set with freshly cut flowers. Or if you’re a city dweller, waking up with coffee and the sun and a skyline view. Having a terrace can be a priceless luxury, whether more serene in style, built with dark wood and marble, or gypsy-like with hammocks hanging and patterned pillows strewn about. It’s a sacred area and a place to enjoy the fruits of summer with all of the comforts and coziness of a home.

Before we officially step outside for the season, above is a little inspiration from the pages of Vogue—terraces that will leave you pining for a life lived alfresco.
