Decker Ross Interiors of Clearwater designed this elaborate outdoor
living space that is ideal for dining, entertaining and relaxing.
Wooden furniture made from teak is popular because teak
is a dense tropical hardwood that is resistant to rotting.

Many interior designers
bring aspects from our outdoor
environments indoors using designs
and décor in order to create natural
settings inside our homes. However,
for others, the goal is to extend the
indoors to the outside for us to enjoy
the fresh air, blue skies and glistening
waters as we relax, cook and dine.
Outdoor kitchens are now being
designed and built with high-end
finishes. Imported marble, granite
and quartz countertops, along with
state-of-the-art appliances such as
wine coolers and full-scale stoves
with cooktops that are traditionally
featured inside our kitchens, are now
being manufactured specifically for
outside use. The appliances are
available in stainless steel, brushed
nickel or copper, creating a sense of
luxury.
Elegant Accents in Lutz implemented state-of-the-art lighting to
bring a sense of magic and wonder to this home’s backyard.
