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.
