Outdoor seating is more than just a place to sit, it’s the heart of where conversations flow, laughter lingers, and memories are made. At Stilus Design & Construction, we create custom seating solutions that blend comfort, style, and durability, transforming your outdoor space into a place you’ll love to gather.
We understand that custom outdoor seating is more than just furniture, which is why our team is passionate about crafting solutions that are tailored to suit our clients' outdoor spaces and lifestyle needs.
Whether it’s built-in benching around a fire pit, curved seating by the pool, or a statement piece that ties your entire outdoor area together, our designs are made to suit your space, your lifestyle, and the way you love to live outdoors.
We can either build to your specifications or work with our in-house design team to bring your custom seating ideas to life. Our process can take your ideas, rough sketches and inspiration images and transform them into a realistic 3D design that brings your vision to life. Using advanced rendering software, we bring your concept design to life on screen so you can explore the proposed outcome in detail, make adjustments with confidence and know exactly what will be built before construction begins. Once approved, our skilled and detail-focused construction team will craft and install your seating, delivering a final result that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
