Beautiful New York City Backyards: How Designers Live

Charlotte Moss in her New York City backyard.  Herringbone floors and metal balconies, who can be blamed for loving this? I know, I know.  It’s winter here in the City and no one is thinking about New York City Backyards, but it’s summer somewhere.  We don’t have a backyard, what we do have is a nice New York City view from all my East side windows and a deck.  Of course I’m not complaining although sometimes I joke with my husband that once we decide to move out of this house I don’t know if I could settle for a view of someone else’s wall.  I could, however, settle for a view that has any of these amazing and chic backyards.  From garden to outdoor patios, these spaces are to die for.  Of course I could also be happier if I get to look at a swimming pool.  Enjoy!

Jeffrey Bilhuber designed this home which is featured in the current Architectural Digest and I could not love it more.  The wall behind the trellis seems to be covered with mirror. Very smart!   The white pebbles is just ridiculously good.

It’s impossible to make a post like this and not remember Mr. Miles Redd‘s gorgeous New York City townhouse featured in Domino back then.  Lovely!

 A very elegant and green space.

Love everything about this little outdoor space, from the striped awning, to the floor, to the walls to the furniture and pillows.

  I don’t know where this backyard came from but it’s very warm and cute.

 Cynthia Rowley has it all in her New York City home.  From trees to a swimming pool.

This patio is from last year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House.  Love the whimsical goat and the use of gray and white for color choices.

    Ahh I love New York City backyards. I live in the suburbs and do have a view of my pool when I'm standing in my kitchen….BUT there's something amazing about living in the city amongst so many people and finding a little oasis of your own private space. Thanks for sharing!

    Makes me long for summer as I trended through snow to get to the train this morning. I love the stepping stones in Jenna Lyons backyard, I hope to work on my backyard this summer and these are great inspiration
