Design Spotlight: Classic Outdoor Living Space in Ridgefield, Connecticut

Kenneth Lynch and Sons has worked with homeowners and designers from all around the world to bring visions to life when it comes to outdoor spaces. From beautifying gardens with our collection of classic garden elements to customizing outdoor living spaces with our handcrafted furniture, we work one-on-one with our clients to select the perfect products and customized solutions for each unique outdoor space.

We’re excited to share a special project we completed in a residential area of Ridgefield, Connecticut last summer. Our team worked closely with the homeowner over the course of several months to complete their vision for their outdoor living space at their primary residence.

The project initially started when landscape architect Craig Studer of Studer Design Associates suggested that the homeowner work with our team to find a suitable fountain for a new garden space on the property. We worked with the homeowner to modify the design of the Lead Frog Fountain with the desired pedestal height and a custom border design for the basin. The fountain fits beautifully in the garden surrounded by lush greenery in bloom during the spring and summer, and  provides a lovely focal point in the barren winter months.

The homeowner then asked us to work with them to design additional seating at the front of their pool house. When deciding on the design of the outdoor furniture pieces, they wanted to take into consideration the existing outdoor furniture acquired from the previous owners of the home. Our team was glad to present a set of custom finishes and design options that would complement the older outdoor furniture with the new.

Our furniture from the Star and Dolphin Collection in a classic black finish were the perfect fit for the aesthetic of this home’s outdoor space. Our team worked with the homeowner to design a Star and Dolphin Grand Sofa with four seats and matching Grand Chairs for a casual seating area. The deep seating of this elegant design encourages an afternoon of languid relaxation! 

The choice of white cushions with black piping creates a classic look and perfectly matches the large outdoor umbrellas and poolside cabana. To complete the space, we added a Rectangular Coffee Table with a glass top to carry on the motifs of the sofa and chairs. All the pieces work seamlessly together to create a relaxing outdoor oasis!

Additionally, our team helped the homeowner choose a more formal dining set to complement the furniture by the pool area. The selection for the outdoor dining area includes a Round Filigree Dining Table with a pedestal leg and a set of six Star and Dolphin Arm Chairs with filigree seating - also in a classic black finish. This inviting outdoor dining area is now ready for hosting and entertaining!
