2026 is the year of whimsy. From unique statues to playful artwork to fruit-shaped furniture, homeowners are opting to bring fun into every corner of their decor, including the patio. If you're not sure where to start with jazzing up your outdoor space, Alex Cooper's porch proves that a swing is the simple, affordable, and elevated option that works for every home.
The 'Call Her Daddy' host purchased her serene, 1930s colonial revival ranch in the heart of Los Angeles in 2021 for $10.7 million and spent the next three years renovating the home to make it more relaxing. She described the home to Architectural Digest as, 'a homey take on a wellness retreat, something calm, inviting, and most importantly, comfortable.' Her home's patio, which she shared on Instagram, best captures this philosophy with a stunning wood, gray, and rope porch swing. It feels organic yet modern, with just a touch of sculptural charm.
