Patios, decks and covered porches designed as outdoor rooms with seating, dining, lighting, shade and durable decor.
Nashville weather makes outdoor rooms worth the effort for much of the year. A patio, deck or porch can be a second living room, with seating, dining, shade, light and a fire feature. Homeowners ask us to design outdoor living spaces that feel as thoughtful as the rooms inside and hold up to sun, rain and use.
We begin with a Free Estimate and a look at the space, sun, views and how you want to use it. We plan zones for lounging, dining and cooking, choose weather-hardy furniture, rugs and fabrics and design lighting and shade. We coordinate with landscapers and builders when needed and style the space with planters, pillows and accessories. Outdoor furniture and fabrics face sun, rain, pollen and temperature swings, so choosing well pays off. We look at frames, cushions, rugs and lighting made for outdoor use, plan drainage and storage for the off-season and place seating where breezes and views help. We also plan electrical and gas needs early with your contractor, so fans, lights and fire features are safe, tidy and ready to enjoy. We also think about how the space looks from inside the house, because a view of a well-designed patio makes every adjoining room feel larger and more connected to the outdoors.
Lounge, dining and fire areas are planned with room to move.
Fabrics, finishes and furniture are chosen to last outdoors.
Fixtures, fans and shade keep the space comfortable day and night.
Colors and styles link inside and outside.
