5 examples of outdoor living rooms designed to make the sea a kind of furniture, a constant company for the soul

While winter time is melting away, the desire for spring and the waiting of the summer to come rise up again in all of us.
We start thinking about summer destinations to spend a few days in contact with what is defined as the most economical health treatment in the world, ie the sea.
In those places where the sea is part of the collective imagination, in those fortunate geographical areas where you can get up on a Sunday morning or a Wednesday afternoon and take a walk to the sea, many aspects of life are built around the sea itself and to its rituals.
Among these aspects, there is also the home design.

Today we talk about some beautiful houses in Salento that not only overlook the sea, offering the view from different angles and rooms, but also have spaces between “open” and “closed” designed to be the living rooms in which , in addition to walls and furnishings, there is the sea as a key element.

The space dedicated to a lunch or a dinner under a wooden and wicker canopy was not enough for designers and interior decorators who, together, wanted to think of a post-dinner relaxation area overlooking the sunset and the most beautiful sunrise over the sea in Italy
