While the days may be getting chilly, now’s the perfect time to evaluate your outdoor space and determine if it needs a bit of jooshing. Whether replacing your old outdoor furniture or tending to the neglected landscaping, the sooner you get the makeover project underway, the sooner it’ll be ready for the warmer summer months that will be here before you need it.
To kick-start your design mood board, we’ve collated the top eight outdoor furniture trends worth noting this year.
As our population grows and strains limited resources, the shift towards prioritising sustainable and environmentally friendly furniture is here to stay. While fast furniture tends to be more affordable, purchasing sustainably sourced outdoor furniture is a better long-term investment due to strict quality measures.
Outdoor furniture made from eco-friendly materials such as recycled plastics, ethically sourced wood, and sustainable fabrics is becoming increasingly popular and more accessible. These pieces contribute to a healthier environment and are designed to last longer, minimising the need for frequent, wasteful replacements.
TIP: Don’t rush; invest in one to two high-quality pieces at a time, and soon, you’ll fill your space with eco furniture that you love (instead of regretful purchases).
Gone are the days when a few foldable plastic chairs or the old indoor couch would do - as Australians spend more time at home than ever, we are transforming our backyards into luxurious outdoor retreats for much-needed timeouts.
Creating private, inviting spaces amongst nature is a growing trend, from plush outdoor sectionals to sun loungers, daybeds, and cocoon-hanging chairs.
While the biophilic design has existed since ancient times, our rapidly digitalising world is increasing our need to reconnect with nature. Promising many health and well-being benefits, the rising biophilic trend is also making its mark in furniture.
Taking cues from nature, outdoor furniture featuring organic materials, natural shapes, and earthy colour palettes is taking over. Adding a welcoming yet minimalist touch, biophilic-inspired furniture evokes a sense of tranquillity, allowing the beautiful natural surroundings to shine.
Combining different materials and textures, such as adding fabric cushions to polypropylene seating or pairing timber frames with rope accents pairing wood with rope or soft fabrics with rattan, is hugely popular this year.
This mix-and-match trend effortlessly adds visual interest by creating a unique, layered look, whether in a single piece of furniture or intentionally mixing items from various collections.
We also see a rising demand for outdoor furniture featuring rustic and industrial elements to create a contemporary yet natural aesthetic.
With the gorgeous Australian outdoors on our doorstep and the vast range of stylish indoor-inspired outdoor furniture options, the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living have blurred - in the best way possible!
From dining chairs and lounges to tables and rugs, we are embracing the versatility of indoor-outdoor furniture without compromising on aesthetics. This trend creates a cohesive look throughout your home, with dual-purpose pieces crafted to endure the outdoor elements while preserving the comfort and style of indoor furniture.
Convertible furniture, such as modular lounges, stackable chairs, and folding tables, is perfect for smaller outdoor spaces or adapting to specific occasions. It offers convenience and versatility for modern living.
Ideal for small patios or those who enjoy entertaining at home, this multi-functional trend allows you to seamlessly customise your outdoor space without sacrificing style or comfort.
Similar to the biophilic design trend, prioritising comfort is more than a passing trend; it’s a way of living.
From architectural magazines to interior design blogs, we’re seeing more and more ergonomic furniture designs with deep seating and optimal back support. Oversized chairs and sprawling, cloud-like lounges are making a tasteful reappearance, encouraging relaxation to enhance health and well-being.
Yes, we should appreciate the natural outdoors, but it’s virtually impossible to disconnect from our smartphones and tech gadgets fully.
Whether working from home on the patio or streaming your favourite tunes, tech-integrated outdoor furniture, such as built-in speakers and wireless charging stations, will continue to trend upward.
