The hottest trends for outdoor patio furniture ideas

Consulting the latest design trends can be a goldmine for outdoor patio furniture ideas. While there are curated, classic must-have outdoor furniture pieces, learning about up-and-coming trends can help you transform your patio.

To help you get inspired, here are the top trends in outdoor patio furniture:

Earthy colors

Earth tones are an outdoor patio furniture trend that’s easy to incorporate into any outdoor living space. Opt for warm wood finishes and earthy fabrics when choosing your patio seating and accent pieces.

Adirondack lounge chairs and wicker chairs paired with cozy cushions are both excellent ways to explore this trend. Stick to comfy cushion hues like sage green, sandy beige and terracotta brown.

“Garden” furniture

One of the best ways to conserve patio space is by using multipurpose furniture. If you love gardening, what better option than combining your plants with your furniture? Garden furniture is furniture that helps serve as a part of your garden and a prominent trend for outdoor spaces of all shapes and sizes.

Try a reclaimed wood coffee table with a succulent garden as a centerpiece and planter at the same time. Multi-tiered accent tables can serve as shelves for small potted plants, and privacy screens can double as vertical gardens.

Egg chairs

Hanging egg-shaped chairs are a popular trend among interior designers, especially those who favor a boho or eclectic style. Why not bring that fun and cozy trend to your patio?

Many egg chairs come with a stand, making them easy to place anywhere in your outdoor space. Others are meant to hang from a ceiling or overhang, perfect for a covered porch or patio with adequate supports.

While constantly changing, design trends can be an exceptional source of inspiration for your outdoor space. If you’re interested in new outdoor patio furniture ideas, consider these options as a starting point.

Maintain your outdoor furniture

Over time all outdoor furniture suffers from the sun and elements. If you have wood furniture, polish it periodically. Steel furniture will eventually rust, keep it painted, particularly where screws and nuts are used. Sand off the rust and paint.

Plastic and vinyl furniture will fade and crack. If you are not using the furniture consider buying covers or moving some under awnings or covers. Replace your seat covers when they become older and non-functional. Remove seat covers and store them during periods such the winter or when you are not going to uses them.

Insects love to set up home in garden furniture. Use a strong blower to clear out web and nests. Use a garden hose if the furniture can be wet. Either or both ways will help extend the life of your lawn furniture an prevent inspect bites.

Simple styles

Consider buying a picnic bench from Lowes or Home Depot for just over $100. When you get it home, let it sit out in the sun for a month. Then stain or paint it. Pay attention to the bottom of the legs which may need a second coat particularly if they will be on grass. A coat of clear sealer on top over the paint will help you wipe off food.

These tables will last for years as long as you maintain it with stain or paint. Place an umbrella in the center for shade. Remember to retract the umbrella when it’s not in use to prevent the sun and wind from destroying it. A strong wind can bend the umbrella.
