Being an urban dweller typically means giving up on the idea of a sprawling backyard. We make do with a narrow slab of concrete or a small plot of (mostly dead) grass. “Most people think, ‘Oh my goodness, I don’t have a huge space, I can’t have it all’ — well yes you can,” says lifestyle expert and decorator Jackie Morra of Jackie Morra Interiors.

Learn about the latest outdoor furniture and accessories and get tips on establishing zones in an urban open space.
