Haneen Matt

Designing an outdoor space that balances beauty, comfort, and real life isn’t always easy - especially for a busy family. For Haneen, a mom of four with an active household that includes kids and a dog, the goal was clear: create an outdoor retreat that felt relaxed and inviting.

Her existing space served as a blank canvas, and she wanted her transformation to be rooted in natural tones and tactile comfort - rustic at its core with modern lines and a sense of understated luxury. To bring that vision to life, she turned to Ultraleather, selecting materials designed to perform beautifully outdoors without sacrificing softness or style.

Her palette was intentionally neutral, drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape to create a seamless connection between indoors and out. The sofa was rendered in Coast Stem Green, a grounded, organic hue that anchors the space with a sense of calm. Two ottomans in Brisa Frontier Lasso introduce subtle contrast and texture, while Brisa Frontier Mohave was used on the chair and an accent pillow to add warmth and visual depth. Together, these materials create a layered, cohesive look that feels both effortless and intentional.

Beyond aesthetics, performance was essential, especially in Michigan where outdoor spaces must withstand shifting seasons and unpredictable weather. Each of these Ultraleather collections is engineered for life outside: resistant to sun and water, easy to clean, and designed to stay cool to the touch while remaining soft against the skin. It’s comfort you can feel and durability you can rely on.

This collaboration demonstrates how thoughtful material choices can transform an outdoor area into a true oasis - one that beautifully supports everyday living. To learn more about Haneen, visit her on Instagram: @haneens_haven
