Emerging European Trends in Outdoor Living: Insights and Innovations for 2024/2025

European trends in garden furniture are making their way across the Atlantic to America, influencing the choices and designs seen in outdoor spaces. What colors will we see this year? What’s the latest trend in garden furniture? The key development is our desire to spend more time outside and for longer periods.

Let us walk you through it!

Trend 1: Friendly Shapes and Comfort

A noticeable trend in garden furniture is the appearance of softer shapes. Tabletops are transforming, with not just the corners being rounded, but also the long and short sides of the table getting a soft curve. This change makes it easier for people sitting around the table to engage with each other. Oval and semi-oval shapes are at the forefront of this trend. Mostly seen in dining settings, these shapes are also making their way to coffee tables.

Round shapes are becoming a big part of lounge furniture too. Lounge sofas with curved backrests and round tubes in the frame are examples.  Even subtle additions, like rounded edges on chairs, add to the overall softer feel.

Apart from new table arrangements, people are also looking for more comfort at the table. This means choosing chairs with additional comfort features like higher backrests and adjustability.

Trend 2: Sustainable and eco-friendly materials

One of the most significant trends in premium outdoor furniture is the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, and they want their outdoor furniture to reflect this commitment. Look for pieces crafted from reclaimed wood, recycled plastics, or sustainable materials like teak. These materials not only reduce the environmental impact but also provide durability and longevity to your furniture.

Our furniture not only boasts exceptional durability and longevity but also reflects a deep respect for the environment.

Trend 3: Light Cream and Earthy Tones

What colors will we see in our outdoor spaces? Every year, this is a big question. In the coming season, the Scandinavian style is making a comeback: light, fresh tones, but with a warm feel. These colors give your outdoor space a modern yet warm look. The creamy Scandinavian colors are being used in various products, like tabletops and cushions.

Neutral color palettes such as grays, beiges, and whites continue to dominate premium outdoor furniture. However, adding pops of color through accessories like cushions, rugs, and accent pieces is a trend that’s gaining momentum. This allows you to change the look of your outdoor space with ease and keep it fresh and inviting. Think of rust and coral reds and dark green shades. These colors blend beautifully in a garden.

Trend 4: Modern Minimalism

Sleek and clean lines dominate the modern minimalistic trend in patio furniture design. Seating groups, dining chairs, and dining tables crafted from materials like aluminum and teak or a combination of both. Neutral color palettes, such as whites, grays, and blacks, lend and elegant touch, while color can be added through cushions and accessories. This trend emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and a clutter free-aesthetic.

Trend 5: Multifunctional Designs

Versatility is the key when it comes to patio furniture in modern times. Multifunctional designs enable you to make the most of your outdoor space. Look for furniture pieces that serve multiple purposes, such as a coffee table that you can raise and transform into a dining table. Or a dining table you can extend, to serve extra guests when needed. This trend is perfect for those with limited space or for those who want to maximize the functionality of their patio area.

Embrace environmentally conscious materials, sleek designs, and inventive characteristics to remain at the forefront and maximize your outdoor sanctuary’s potential.
