For years, interior designers schooled their clients about the importance of bringing the outdoors in. But for the past decade or so, the new instructions are to move the indoors out, furnishing patios, decks and balconies as comfortably and artfully as interior spaces. — Janet Bennett Kelly

Room & Board’s eco-friendly fireplace constructed from brushed stainless steel, features a thick glass surround, making it feasible (and safe) to bring an open flame to any space. The ventless fireplace uses bioethanol, a renewable fuel that burns efficiently, keeping you warm without smoke or ashes. Mini T outdoor fireplace, $1,395 at Room & Board, 1840 14th St. NW. 202-729-8300. www.roomandboard.com. Courtesy of Room & Board
