Looking at Michael Keaton's Montana patio feels like taking a big breath of fresh mountain air. Anchored by natural wood furnishings and stone construction, it's a masterclass in designing spaces that blend with the outdoor surroundings.

Given that the Batman actor built the rural McLeod home in 1997 as a rustic escape away from the bright lights of Hollywood, it makes sense that his front porch idea channels total relaxation.

Ultimately, what wins about this design is its commitment to simplicity. As opposed to the outdoor living room style patios we've seen growing more and more popular in recent years, it embraces only wood and the surroundings. For anyone who loves this traditional approach, I've included a curated list of products for recreating Michael's look and gathered expert commentary on why the look is so satisfying.
