Transitional Stone Sitting Wall with Multi-Tonal Flagstone

Tara Gosselin | Interior Design Expert

This expansive stone patio creates a seamless transition for large backyard entertainment areas or secluded garden retreats. To enhance the natural masonry, pair the slate-toned surfaces with dark metal furniture and lush perimeter plantings for a grounded feel. Balance the heavy weight of the stone walls by incorporating soft textiles like outdoor throw pillows or a weather-resistant area rug. These multi-functional sitting walls provide ample overflow seating while doubling as architectural borders. For longevity, periodically clear away fallen leaves to prevent organic stains on the porous stone surfaces.
