Covet chic-country refuge
There is something undeniably charming and relaxed about this little roof terrace in an old English country house. The large paneled windows give way to oversized cushions, a couple of flowers and not much else. It is a perfect retreat to escape with a good book and a cup of tea. Or jug of Pimm, your call.

Dream of this urban oasis
combining natural wood, lanterns, embroidered rugs and low hanging seats, roof a bit of a Moroccan surround channels, creating a supernatural oasis in the middle a bustling city. Lanterns can be easily suspended from a trellis or pergola, or can be replaced with hurricane lamps for a similar effect. Opt for white lamps and lanterns for a clean look, or the reasons for a more eclectic mood.

intended use of the roof garden is very clear. It is not made to quietly enjoy sips of wine while finally having a go at War and Peace; It is designed for the owner to throw the best parties of the year, or at least the weekend. Stunning views, LED lighting and flat-screen TVs make this roof feel like the kind of place where Rihanna would hang out. My invitation probably just get lost in the post.
