It is a dark and rainy day here in The Netherlands and soon it will be fall. Hopefully there will still be plenty of days to enjoy the garden and outdoors. Today some fall inspired outdoor spaces with lots of grey and black.

This beach house with gorgeous ocean view is located in Paternoster, a small fishing village two hour away from Cape Town, South Africa. Owner and architect Paul Versfeld created this holiday home to escape the busy life in Johannesburg with his family in weekends and during holidays. The architecture is inspired by local fishermen’s huts. The decor is simple with natural materials, such as wood, rattan and pine, creating an authentic look and a warm atmosphere. With its direct access to the beach, this home the perfect place to relax and unwind!

Summer is coming to an end and although it is getting cooler, the weather is still nice enough to enjoy the outdoors. I love how this outdoor area is styled, the different textiles, colors and use of various natural materials (such a rattan and linen) give an ethnic touch to the place.

This is the holiday home of fashion designer John Rocha in St. Jean–Cap-Ferrat in the South of France. The house itself is decorated in a minimalistic way. A lot of attention has been given to outdoor areas. The garden is lush and tropical and has a black state infinity swimming pool. The perfect place to enjoy the Mediterranean life style! The slatted loungers were found on the Clignancourt flea market in Paris and the white wire chairs picked up at a market in Nice. The glass table and wooden benches were both designed by John Rocha.

Interior designer Isabel Lopez-Quesada transformed an old barn in the South of France into a shabby chic country cottage. Simple, rustic materials such as iron walls and recycled wood are combined with sophisticated design such as the Tolemeo lamp. This unusual mix gives an interesting touch to the house.

Today some outdoor areas with a slightly ethnic touch. A similar look can be created by using ethnic cushions (for example ikat print, kilim or berber cushions), succulent plants, a hammock, a wooden or Moroccan table and the famous Acapulco chairs (as featured in the last image).

And again a beautiful house on Formentera, Spain! The style of this summer home is rustic modern with white walls, lots of wood and rattan, and natural style accessories. The gorgeous images are shot by Barcelona based photographer Enrique Menossi. Formentera is great holiday destination by the way. Turquoise water, white sandy beaches and it is less touristy than it’s neighboring island Ibiza. I’m very much looking forward to my visit to both islands next month!
