On the house

Design help, free of charge

Choosing furniture is about more than picking a set you like — it's about how the pieces fit your space, your style, and your budget. Our experienced team helps you select the right furniture, fabrics, and finishes so everything comes together the way you imagined.

Whether you're furnishing a brand-new patio or refreshing a space you already love, we're here to make the decisions easier and the results more you.

The goal is a space you actually use — furniture that fits the way you entertain, fabrics that match the house, and a plan for the evening hours too.

What a visit covers

The six decisions we help you make

Layout & flow

Where the table goes, how the seating faces the fire or the view, and the walkways you need between pieces.

Fabrics & finishes

Sunbrella and solution-dyed fabrics, frame finishes, and tabletops — matched to your siding, decking, and trim.

Shade & shelter

Market and cantilever umbrellas sized to the table, or a Sunesta awning measured for your deck.

Fire & warmth

Fire tables, heated seating, and patio heaters that stretch the season from early spring into late fall.

The hearth inside

Stove, fireplace, and insert selection with real installed pricing from our online configurator.

Budget & phasing

Good, better, and best options at every price, and a plan you can build in stages instead of all at once.

01

Consultation

We start by getting to know you — your space, your style, how you like to entertain, and your budget. Bring photos, measurements, or just your ideas, and we'll take it from there.

A typical 16 × 20 deck: dining for six under an 11-foot umbrella, a sectional and fire table for the evening, and a clear 36-inch path from the door. Every piece is drawn at true size — the dashed rings are the breathing room each one needs.

Before you visit

Bring what you have

None of it is required — plenty of plans start with a napkin sketch. But the more of this you bring, the more we can settle on the first visit.

  • Rough measurementsLength and width of the deck or patio, plus doors, steps, and railings.
  • A few photosStraight-on shots of the space and of the house behind it — siding, trim, and decking color help us match finishes.
  • Where the sun goesWhich way the space faces and when you use it most tells us how much shade you'll want.
  • How you entertainDinner for six, a crowd around the fire, or quiet mornings with coffee — each one plans differently.
  • A comfortable budgetA range is plenty. We'll show you what it buys and where it's worth stretching.

Outside and in

The details that finish a space

Shelves of outdoor melamine dinnerware, glassware, and serving pieces in the showroom

Tabletop, rugs, and accents

Shatterproof dinnerware, outdoor rugs, pillows, lanterns, and planters — the layer that turns a furniture set into a room. We'll pull the pieces that tie your fabrics and finishes together.

The hearth, planned the same way

Stoves, fireplaces, and inserts get the same treatment: we match the front and finish to your room, size the heat to the space, and show installed pricing up front. Build one online or bring a photo of the wall.
