Who says the outdoors can’t be cozy?
At Chandler, we believe your outdoor space should feel just as refined, intentional, and inviting as your interiors. With the right balance of design, comfort, and functionality, outdoor environments can become an effortless extension of your workspace, offering a place to connect, reset, and recharge in style.
The Power of Stepping Outside
In today’s fast-paced work environments, we spend the majority of our time indoors, often disconnected from the natural elements that support our well-being. Yet even brief moments outside can have a meaningful impact, promoting clarity, creativity, and overall balance. Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces offer more than just fresh air, they provide a natural escape. Whether it’s a quiet spot for focused work or a relaxed setting for informal collaboration, these spaces can elevate the everyday office experience.
Designing for Comfort and Sophistication; Creating an outdoor space that feels intentional starts with layering:
- High-quality materials that withstand the elements while maintaining a refined aesthetic, such as solid teak, powder coated steel or aluminum and water repellent textiles treated with UV stabilizers to minimize sun damage.
- Soft textures and tailored furnishings that mirror indoor comfort. Imagine plush cushions, striking planters or a colourful rug to really bring that comfort outside.
Neutral palettes with natural accents for a cohesive and calming atmosphere. Colour trends this year point toward "natural neutrals" like a terra cotta red, nocturnal blue or a sage green. Natural oak and walnut finishes are very popular, while pops of colour like a bright white or touch of yellow help bring the whole look together without being too loud.
By blending durability with design-forward thinking, your outdoor space becomes not just functional, but an extension of your brand and workplace culture.

A Space to Work, Unwind, and Connect
The modern workplace is evolving, and so should the environments that support it. Outdoor spaces offer flexibility for a variety of uses:
- A peaceful retreat for focused individual work
- A collaborative setting for casual team meetings
- A social hub that encourages connection and creativity
Incorporating elements of leisure can further enrich the experience. A curated selection of tabletop or yard games, for example, adds a relaxed, engaging layer that encourages employees to step outside, recharge, and return refreshed.
At Chandler, we curate outdoor solutions with the help of brands such as MillerKnoll, Mutto, Loll and Blu Dot that balance elegance with everyday functionality. Helping you create environments that feel as welcoming as they are purposeful.
