How Architects and Interior Designers Elevate Your Outdoor Living Experience

Imagine stepping from your cozy, warm living room out onto a deck that feels like an extension of your home-where every material, every line, and every view is thoughtfully crafted to invite the Pacific Northwest landscape inside. We specialize in creating these seamless indoor-outdoor connections that turn ordinary yards into extraordinary living spaces.

Here’s how our architectural and interior design expertise transforms your outdoor spaces into personal paradises:

 
 

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow

We design openings, patios, decks, and outdoor rooms that dissolve the boundaries between inside and out. Whether it’s a sliding glass wall that frames a forest view or a sheltered courtyard that invites fresh air year-round, our goal is to make your outdoor spaces feel like natural extensions of your home.

Thoughtful Outdoor Structures

From decks and trellises to arbors and gazebos, we craft architectural elements that provide shelter, define space, and enhance your lifestyle. While these features might not be the typical stand-alone projects we take on, we love integrating them thoughtfully as part of an addition, remodel, or renovation, making sure they harmonize beautifully with your home’s existing character. Each structure is carefully placed to capture sunlight, frame views, and create cozy spots for gathering or quiet moments.

Curated Outdoor Furnishings

We select and procure outdoor furniture that reflects your interior style while standing up to Pacific Northwest weather. Our choices balance comfort, durability, and sustainability, ensuring your outdoor spaces are as inviting and enduring as your interiors.

Harmonizing Materials Indoors and Out

Collaboration is key. We work closely with landscape designers to ensure that materials-from wood tones to stone textures-flow effortlessly between your home and garden. This creates a unified aesthetic that feels intentional, warm, and deeply connected to the natural surroundings.

Designing Courtyards, Atriums, and Outdoor Rooms

We love creating intimate outdoor “rooms” that offer privacy and shelter without sacrificing connection to nature. These spaces become personal retreats or lively gathering spots, designed with the same care and attention as your interior rooms.

Outdoor Kitchens Tailored to You

Whether it’s a simple grill station or a full outdoor kitchen, we design culinary spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Thoughtful layouts, lighting, and finishes make cooking and entertaining under the open sky a joy all year long.


Your outdoor living spaces deserve the same passion, precision, and sustainability as your interiors. We listen closely to your vision and bring it to life with designs that honor the Pacific Northwest’s unique beauty and climate.

Let’s craft outdoor spaces that feel like home-welcoming, warm, and wonderfully yours.

Our Passion. Your Paradise.


Rachel Waldron

Waldron Designs was founded by Rachel Waldron (that’s me!). in 2013.

I am so happy designing that it is not unusual to catch me in a giggle as I rev up to do my work. I think of my designs the way that I think of my children- each is unique and has their own personality. It is my job to nurture them and help them grow, not define them.

I got my bachelor's degree in interior design from Washington State University - a CIDA-accredited school - in 2005, immediately moved into a leadership position and have continued designing with passion.

I received my MBA in Marketing in 2012 and launched Waldron Designs in 2013. When I am not designing, you will find me enjoying my precious time with my husband and two spectacular children.
