CAMILLE STYLES REVEALS
THE SECRETS BEHIND HER
SPRUCED-UP PATIO AND
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE.
BY MADDY HILL
When you're the woman
behind a powerhouse brand,
you need a place for an easy
escape. In addition to her role
as owner and creative director
of CamilleStyles.com, lifestyle
expert Camille Styles is
testing recipes for her second
book, renovating her new
headquarters in a 100-year-
old bungalow in the heart of
downtown, and planning her
second annual Get Healthy
Get Together free fan event
later this spring.
But she can leave it all
behind, even if just for an
hour, by stepping out onto
her peaceful back patio.
Inspired by her travels to
Italy and the Mediterranean,
Styles's backyard getaway is
just as clean and polished as
the content on her blog, with
simple lines and neutral
colors. Floor-to-ceiling
windows in the living area
open up to a space made
welcoming by some well-
chosen pieces from RH
Outdoor that invite you to
stay a while: a low-slung
Marbella teak sectional and
coffee tables, with a match-
ing daybed out by the pool.
"We love a minimalist
design that is still very
warm," says Styles, who
renovated the terrace and
pool area last summer after
living in her home for five
Afternoon delight:

relaxes with a
cocktail poolside on
her RH Outdoor
Marbella Teak
Daybed ($4,495).
