The combination of Zooey Deschanel’s pretty sensibility and Jonathan Scott’s renovation skills is a godsend. This power couple’s home has always been one of our favorites on the celebrity style team, but their outdoor setup may have catapulted their home to the number one spot.
Scott and Deschanel’s yard isn’t just an outdoor space; it’s an outdoor space for living. At the center of the space is a white-and-grey gazebo with a brick floor, surrounded by gravel paths and small, carefully trimmed bushes. Beneath the gazebo, two outdoor chairs and a table make the perfect spot to spend time together. It’s truly a beautiful place.
The combination of greenery and the classic white design of the gazebo is a master class in outdoor decoration. Homes and Gardenssays, “The combination of white and green is one of the most classic color combinations, and the exterior of this gazebo stylishly replicates that interior look outdoors. The small bushes adjacent to the outdoor gazebo create a beautiful contrast with each other, with the refined Victorian style of the gazebo and the wild texture of the greenery.”
In addition to its beautiful appearance, the gazebo doubles as a covered outdoor living room. Ebert says, “The chairs and table under the gazebo provide a great spot to lounge outdoors. This space is so special because we didn’t have to compromise on design to provide an indoor level design for the outdoors.”
Jen is Editor (Digital) at Homes & Gardens and prior to this role she completed various interior design courses at KLC Design School and worked as an interiors writer for Ideal Home, LivingEtc, 25 Beautiful Homes and Country Homes & Interiors.
Plus, the style is set to be a garden trend for summer 2024. “As the weather gets warmer, people are prioritizing spending time outdoors, and an outdoor living room is the perfect place to do that. Locating the space under a gazebo makes it accessible in any weather and helps protect your furniture. Plus, because it doesn’t require any full-scale construction and can be easily dismantled, we think this will become a popular choice as a hassle-free way to establish an outdoor space.”
