Design Beyond Walls
Stephanie Larsen, Sedona’s own award-winning designer, invites us to think beyond the usual deck chair and dusty grill. Her outdoor living spaces are not just designed, they’re choreographed. Each element moves in harmony with the high desert’s golden light, the soft rustle of wind through juniper, and the rhythmic hush of red rock mornings.
Patio Perfect
Think about also introducing coordinating details from your home’s interior into exterior living areas, such as colors, finishes, and/or materials, to tie them together and encourage guests to move freely between them.
From there, additions like cozy outdoor fireplaces surrounded by comfortable seating, outdoor dining areas, and outdoor kitchen spaces have the ability to elevate outdoor entertainment spaces further, making them functional through every season.
Transitional Design
Larsen’s approach to transitional design is anything but ordinary. Think pocket doors that vanish, kitchen windows that fully open to the patio, and seating arrangements that make you forget which side of the door you’re on. These elements don’t just create, flow they build connection.
Designs That Breathe With You
Outdoor living should feel effortless—an invitation to unwind. Each space Larsen design flows with intention, balancing comfort and beauty. Soft seating encourages lingering. Firelight warms the evenings. Water elements bring a sense of calm.l From quiet mornings to starlit gatherings, these environments are made to move with you, to breathe with you

Textures of the Earth
Larsen suggests statement-making furniture like a swing chair as the perfect blend of form and feeling— an effortlessly elegant way to elevate any outdoor space into something unforgettable.
Every detail from textiles to texture is part of the story we tell through home and lifestyle.
Stephanie’s love for natural textures shines like reclaimed wood, artisanal tile, hammered metal, and raw stone. Her furniture choices are sculptural yet soft, with silhouettes that invite lounging long past sunset.
This summer, it’s all about turning your outside in and your inside out.
