The newest decorating frontier is the roof-covered open space between interior rooms and the swimming pool—a beautiful, breezy setting for fashion’s new neutral colors and finishes. Anything goes as long as it’s gray, taupe, white or cream; and products made for the outdoors are being used inside as well—and vice versa.
