Designing outdoor living spaces: Outdoor furniture trends to try

by Rachel Henley 04/10/2024

When designing outdoor living spaces, outdoor furniture is often the best place to begin. There are classic must-haves for outdoor living, like tables and seating, but consulting up-and-coming trends can help you take your outdoor space to the next level.

To help inspire you, here are three of the top trends in outdoor furniture:

Comfortable colors

Comfy hues like earth tones and soft pastels are an outdoor furniture trend that’s easy to incorporate into your personal living space. When choosing your furniture, opt for warm wood finishes and earthy fabrics.

You can even combine earth tones and pastels by selecting a specific hue and exploring different shades. For example, pair a sage green outdoor rug with pale green bench cushions.

Sustainable gardening

Factoring sustainable gardening practices into your decor is a major trend in outdoor living spaces. One prominent example is using hydroponic or semi-hydroponic planting methods, which use less soil and help to avoid water waste.

Another excellent way to combine container gardening with sustainable practices is by using a rainwater collection system to water your plants. You can explore a variety of aesthetically pleasing options for your outdoor container plants while keeping your resource usage low.

Outdoor egg chairs

Hanging egg-shaped chairs have grown in popularity among interior designers, especially those who favor a boho or eclectic style. Now, you can bring this fun and cozy trend outside with an outdoor egg chair.

Many egg chairs on the market come with a stand, making them versatile and easy to place anywhere in your outdoor space. Others are meant to hang from a ceiling or overhang, and can make a trendy and charming addition to a covered porch or patio.

Outdoor design trends change just like interior design trends, and can be an exceptional source of inspiration. If you’re interested in ways to upgrade or refresh your outdoor living space, consider these ideas as a place to begin.
