When it came time for Art Director Richard Jensen to decorate the pool and patio areas for Season 1 of Love Island, CBS' sizzling summer matchmaking show, he followed one guiding principle: "Would cool, young, sexy people be excited to hang out here?"
The answer, of course, was a resounding yes. Jensen pulled from such designers as Jonathan Adler and textile artist James Dunlop to create a Fiji-based set that was as stunning as the single Islanders themselves.
By day the outdoor space is light, bright and playful.

To get the look at home, Jensen suggests mixing different shapes or materials to give your space a designer feel. "And don't forget the outdoors can be used day and night, so lighting is important," he says. "Fairy lights on a large tree or shrub and a fire pit instantly add glamour."
At night the villa transforms into a sexy party pad.
