Timeless Choices: A Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting Outdoor Furniture

When it comes to creating outdoor spaces that feel both welcoming and elegant, the furniture you choose makes all the difference. At Kenneth Lynch & Sons, we’ve built a legacy of creating beautiful handcrafted pieces of outdoor furniture and garden elements for classical gardens, elegant estates, and residential properties of all styles.

Each piece in our collections is created with a timeless design that blends beauty, durability, and function, as well as customizable features that perfectly reflect your style and design preferences for your unique space. Here is our latest furniture guide and tips for selecting enduring outdoor pieces from our Florentine Classics collection.


Define Your Style

Our Florentine Classics collection features timeless designs that can be tailored to complement any setting or style - from contemporary to classic, modern, retro, minimalist, and more. When selecting outdoor furniture, choose pieces that will suit your space and add a touch of personality as a welcoming extension of your home.

If you’d prefer something contemporary, consider our Neoclassical designs with neutral cushions and minimal detailing. For an elegant look, our Star and Dolphin pieces with filigree details are a classical choice.

You can even add a wide selection of motifs to our chairs, tables, and chaise lounges. If you’re looking to add a splash of color, then go bold on the cushions and perhaps the furniture finish as well.

Select Your Components

When it comes to seating, most of our arms, backrests, and seats are interchangeable so you can create any combination that best suits your space and style. Our Star and Dolphin Chair is one of our most popular designs, featuring the star with swags backrest and a filigree-style seat. Meanwhile, our Lattice Back Arm Chair was specially designed to be a stackable chair with a modern design. You can also choose your finish and endless cushion colors, or specify your own cushion upholstery fabric.

Our tables are equally versatile, with customizable dimensions and the ability to incorporate a distinctive tabletop material such as glass or stone. Our dining tables, coffee tables, bar carts, and side tables can all be designed to match the seating of your choice and include a special touch with unique motifs and custom finish color.

Choose Special Sizing

Our pieces are designed to be customized and adjusted based on your design vision. For example, we can take a standard sofa and transform it into a curved sectional that is perfectly suited for adding drama to larger spaces. We can also enhance functional pieces with thoughtful additions, such as adjusting a table in height or width, adding extra motifs of your choice, or designing stools that effortlessly double as side tables.

More Ideas for Lounging in Style

If you have a poolside patio or lounge area to furnish, we have a range of furniture options for you to explore! One of our most popular pieces is the striking Grand Arm Chair, which combines exceptional comfort with versatile style. This piece is available in every design style, including the Neoclassical or Star and Dolphin, and can also be created with deep seating for extra comfort.

Its generous design is ideal for creating a welcoming ambiance alongside sofas in conversation areas or as an accent chair - perfect for enjoying your morning coffee and a good book.

For poolside patios or lounging courtyards, our collections offer a set of Chaise Lounges, which are designed with both style and comfort in mind. Each lounge features generous length and width, with an adjustable backrest that allows you to find your ideal reclining position. For added convenience, we can also install wheels to the base of the lounges for easy movement.

The newest addition to our collection is the Neoclassical Daybed. Each model is custom-made, allowing for custom sizing for any setting. The skirt of the daybed can also accommodate any of our design motifs for a special touch. Just select your cushion style, add some beautiful pillows, and enjoy lounging in style!
