Shop: Black & White Patio Inspiration - Red Soles and Red Wine

I’ve shown my black & white patio before a few times, and it’s truly one of my favorite spaces in my home. When the weather warms up in Chicago, you’ll find me and my boys enjoying meals and relaxing out here almost daily. I’ve created a space that feels both homey and stylish, and I’ve learned how to really maximize the space I have so it feels like an extension of our home.

A black and white palette is timeless, sophisticated, and always makes a statement. Whether you’re refreshing your patio, deck, or poolside setup, black and white outdoor furniture adds instant polish and creates a classic look that feels both modern and elegant.

I’ve rounded up some favorite black & white patio finds — from bold striped umbrellas to sleek seating sets — perfect for updating your outdoor space.
