Celebrating 100 Blogs

One hundred blogs. That’s one hundred opportunities to share ideas, celebrate design, and connect with you—our community. As we hit this milestone for our Word On The Streetscape blog, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the journey so far: the trends we’ve explored, the products we’ve highlighted, and the projects that have inspired us. Here we take a look back at some of our favorite blog posts from nearly 10 years of creating content about Keystone Ridge Designs and the site furniture industry.

Design Trends That Shape Outdoor Spaces

Since our very first blog in 2015, Four Trends in Site Furnishings, we’ve been committed to exploring the evolving world of outdoor design. While trends have shifted over the years, our passion for thoughtful, innovative design remains constant. From tracking outdoor design shifts following the pandemic in Unique Outdoor Spaces and Outdoor Furniture Trends to showcasing our current Top Sellers and Powder Coating Color Trends, we’ve strived to provide timely, relevant insights that resonate with our readers.

We also have focused on topics and trends that matter to our clients and communities. Blogs like Reducing Waste: It Takes All Sorts and Sustainability at Keystone Ridge Designs address critical issues and share how we’re working to be part of the solution. Whether we’re writing to educate, inspire, or spark meaningful change, our goal is to shape a better outdoor experience for everyone.

Spotlights on Iconic Products

We do love to occasionally toot our own horn, showcasing notable products both new and old. From the highlights of our 2020 Greatest Hits post to the unique finds in our Hidden Site Furniture Gems blog, we’ve illustrated our commitment to creating innovative yet practical solutions for public spaces.
