This new patio acts as an open-air foyer and family room. Broad steps lead up from the driveway to a nearly circular space that's paved with stained and scored concrete and partially framed by an outdoor fireplace and an arbor. Slate tile covers the facade of the fireplace. The arbor includes built-in light fixtures that illuminate the dining area and the fireplace.

Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
