Footloose is the best philosophy to welcome the warm weather. The objective is to enjoy the outdoors to the fullest, and to relax as freely as you please. During the warmer months, the sun will uplift the life of any terrace, porch or garden – and with ceramic floors or wall tiles, this eagerness for rest and enjoyment will increase as the temperature rises.

Star and Hexagonal Tile Panel, 13th-14th century (Nishapur, Iran). Image via The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Steeped in a rich history of architectural, design and natural elements, the hexagon is a fundamental shape when it comes to building. The six-sided polygon, which can be found in honeycombs, crystals, snowflakes, and most importantly tile, creates a classic yet distinguished look.

We finally got a peek at Bestia, the hottest restaurant in Los Angeles. The amazing house-made charcuterie, home-made pastas and hearty meat-centric dishes which find their way out of the kitchen of chef Ori Menashe have found fans since the restaurant opened its doors just two years ago. The place is packed and even with a reservation, we found ourselves cooling our heels on the patio, drink in hand, waiting to be seated.

Here is a kitchen that aesthetically reflects the disjointed feeling that accompanies Mondays. With a little imagination and a willingness to turn a blind eye to a few telltale elements—the recessed LED ceiling lights, and the tea kettle Michael Graves designed in 1980 among them—this room could pass for a modernistic 1960s space. The slab front doors and curious stone wall do have a strong retro vibe, but it's more than belied by the spiral brass chandelier and the contemporary chairs. pierreyo

A&A House in Athens, Greece is a three-floor, L-shaped private residence developed by WoARCHITECTS around an inner garden: “Every space is developed in the perimeter of the courtyard and therefore, through the existence of light and water, a dynamic relation of view, luminosity and reflection is created between the inside and outside spaces.” By using exposed concrete and local stone walls, the architects achieved a complex facade design, one that makes the building stand out in

Summers host a lot of weddings despite the heat and sun and its as surprising as it is true that most of these are held in the outdoors. Probably winters restrict the outdoor activities so much that summers find people running towards the outdoors. Perhaps the bride and the groom also want to revel in the beauty of nature. An outdoor wedding reception decor has to balance the negatives of the season with softness, serenity, freshness and cool.
