Primary Focus: Outdoor Space Designer Los Angeles

In Southern California, our outdoor areas are just as important as our indoor rooms. The beautiful year-round climate allows us to treat gardens, patios, and courtyards as true extensions of our living spaces.

We design outdoor spaces that share the same DNA as the house itself. Gardens, terraces, and pool areas should feel like a natural continuation of your indoor rooms.

Working with us as your outdoor living designer/ decorator, the goal is always to create open-air spaces that feel entirely connected to both the indoor architecture and the surrounding California landscape.

Our design philosophy focuses on breaking down the boundaries between indoor life and outdoor nature. So if the house has a Spanish courtyard or a mid-century deck, we want that same vibe to carry right outside. We also stick to materials that can take the sun and rain, and actually look better as they get older. We look for rough-cut stone, old-world terracotta tiles, and rich, weather-resistant woods that feel grounded and intentional.

These choices ensure your outdoor spaces look beautiful, age gracefully under the California sun, and feel deeply connected to the natural landscape.

"Outdoor areas should not feel separate from the home. They are natural open-air rooms that deserve the same focus on comfort, art, and beautiful craftsmanship as your living room."

We design functional, beautiful, and inviting outdoor spaces by focusing on long-lasting materials and comfortable layouts:

  • We use matching floor materials and open layouts to connect interior living rooms perfectly with outdoor patios.

  • We design beautiful stone counters, built-in cooking spaces, and large dining tables for hosting dinner under the stars.

  • We select weather-resistant custom seating, plush outdoor fabrics, and unique iron accent pieces that feel soft and inviting.

  • We build custom pergolas, plaster fireplaces, and stone firepits to keep you comfortable during cool California evenings.

Collaborating with the interior design team at Magali Sonterre to shape your landscape means creating an open space concept, tailored to how you actually live. The result is  beautiful backdrop for quiet afternoons, late-night gatherings, and the easy rhythm of California life.
