A home should not just be a place to live, but an experience that flows effortlessly from one space to another - indoors to outdoors, every element working in harmony. At Studio Thomas, we believe a home should feel like a natural extension of its surroundings. This is why we love working with landscape architects, we can ensure that the materials, textures, and elements used outside echo the warmth and refinement of what’s inside. When everything works together, a home feels complete. 

A lot of what happens outside is reminiscent of what happens inside the home.
— KRISTEN THOMAS

Designing a home isn’t just about selecting the right furnishings or finishes - it’s about crafting an entire atmosphere. Just as we consider space planning, materiality, and rhythm inside, we work with landscape architects to carry those same principles to our client’s outdoor spaces as well. Natural stone, wood, metal, water, and even fire become common threads, creating an unspoken conversation between the two spaces. This collaboration allows for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, creating a timeless and cohesive aesthetic.

Elements That Create Seamless Flow: 

  • Pattern + Rhythm | Curves and linear lines in landscaping influence movement and energy follow, just as they do in interior spaces. 

  • Color Palette | Shades and hues drawn from nature, earthly neutrals, warm woods, and muted greens, create a seamless transition between the indoors and out. 

  • Materials + Textures | Coordinating materials like stone, pavers, and exterior paints ensures visual and textual harmony, reinforcing a sense of connection between the two environments. 

The first impression of a home begins the moment you arrive. Thoughtful landscaping welcomes guests and sets the tone for the experiences inside. Whether it’s the structured elegance of a sculptural garden, the warmth of organic materials, or the timelessness of a tree-lined entryway, landscape design reflects the essence of a home’s personality. When the exterior is designed with the same intention as the interior, the result is a space that feels grounded.
