Rooftop Living Room: Our Perfect Outdoor Space For Summer | Bikinis & Passports

FOR THE HOME: our outdoor living room

Our rooftop deck is without a doubt my favorite “room” of the apartment. It is like a second living room outside. During the colder months of the year, I often feel like we’ve outgrown the place, but once summer comes around we gain an extra room and all of a sudden I am madly in love our home again. Over the years, the deck has developed into a place where we spend most of our free time with lots of friends. Spontaneous BBQs are an essential part of summer and long nights spent outside under the stars with a good glass of wine make me the happiest. Over the years, I have been adding to the deck, making occasional changes and slowly turning it into my personal perfect outdoor space for summer. Even though I loved the way the space came together last year, the one thing that was always missing in my opinion was a big dining table for all of us to sit down together for the meals instead of trying to balance plates on our knees in the lounge area. Thanks to WestwingNow and their amazing outdoor selection, I was able to fulfill my dream this summer with the most perfect outdoor dining table ever (and matching lounge table)! It spaciously seats 6 but also has plenty of room for 8 people, which we tested last night with a big BBQ and 7 friends until 2am. Aside from the table I also wanted to update the plants a tiny bit and had this certain image stuck in my head ever since our trip to Barcelona. Big, dark green leaves in beautiful white pots. Finally found the right plants yesterday and now I am officially done with the outdoor living room – just in time for the weekend ♥

    Well, not yet – but hopefully some time soon. We are coming up on the one-year-anniversary of living in the “new” apartment. Funny I still call it that after eleven months, but our home still feels like a new blessing. None-the-less, eleven months has somehow not been enough time for me/us to get the whole…

    I have a major weakness for pretty coffee table books. And while I do want them to look good around the apartment, I also want them to actually inspire me. Whether it is home decor, beautiful stories or photographs – books should be an escape from reality. My most recent purchase is “Tales For Oskar” by the…

    I love all things interior. If I could, I would make it a hobby to re-decorate our apartment bi-annually. Unfortunately, that is not happening. Mostly because Mike would probably kill me, as would my bank account. While I would love to provide you with new interior updates on a more regular basis, the problem is…

    After 10 weeks of patience, the newest addition to our home finally arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be happier!

  1. Liebe Vicky!
    WOW… einfach nur wow! Schöner könnte es echt nicht sein, genau mein Geschmack!
    Die Möbel sind der Wahnsinn, und diese Liebe zum Detail <3
    Da hast du dir bzw. euch echt ein kleines Paradies geschaffen.
    Ich wünsch dir ganz viele schöne Tage und Abende in eurem zweiten Wohnzimmer und noch einen ganz tollen Sommer!
    XO Lisa

  2. Oh ich liebe deine Terasse auch sehr. 🙂 Hast du gute Erfahrungen mit dem Teppich wenn der die ganze Zeit draussen liegt? Wir haben eben auch kein Dach und das lässt viele Sachen gleich schon mal ausscheiden. Diese Rattan Optik Sachen halt bei uns leider auch nicht 🙁

    Liebe Grüsse

  3. Unfassbar toll! Da muss man ja gar nicht mehr in den Urlaub fahren – ok, das ginge dann vielleicht doch zu weit. 🙂
    Eigentlich hatte ich auch geplant, die Terasse wieder etwas herzurichten, aber der Sommer in Deutschland will einfach nicht so wirklich wie ich will. 🙁
    Wie bewahrt oder schützt Ihr denn Eure Outdoor-Möbel bei schlechtem Wetter bzw. wenn der Sommer dann irgendwann vorbei ist?

  4. I love the way it turned out! We have a small balcony, but it’s also our go-to place in the Summer – we love having grill evenings outside and sometimes I even take my laptop out and word there 😉 Someday we’ll also have a big balcony like yours and I already know where to get the decor inspiration!

  5. Wunderschön, der Tisch mit den Stühlen sieht super hübsch aus! Ich liebe unseren kleinen Balkon auch sehr, bei gutem Wetter verbringen wir jede freie Minute draußen. Alle Mahlzeiten und die ein oder andere Home-Office Session sind Standard:)

  6. So wunderschön <3 Eine solche Terrasse würde mir auch sehr gut gefallen. Ich hoffe doch dass das Wetter hier in Deutschland bald mal wieder auf Sommer umstellt. sonst macht es überhaupt keine Spaß seinen Balkon oder ähnliches herzurichten, da man es eh nicht nutzen kann..

  7. Auch hier wieder super schöne Bilder! Ein BBQ kann ich mir dort wirklich gut vorstellen und auch für mich ist mein Balkon wie mein 4. Zimmer. Im Sommer und vorallem mit Besuch sitze ich fast nur dort und quatsche.
    Dazu leckere Ice Teas und viel Sonne – perfekt 🙂

    Diesen weißen Lounge Sessel wollte ich mir für meine Wohnung auch unbedingt kaufen, aber leider hatte er dann doch nirgends reingepasst. Ist der denn bequem?

    LG,
