01. Curve Appeal

Soft curves are all the rage right now making dining and entertaining more engaging. Round and oval shapes from tabletops to dining chairs complement any outdoor space. They’re not just for dining sets either. Lounge sets with curved backs and chairs with tubular rope detail are some alternative options which are aesthetically pleasing. Our Galaxy and Connemara range exemplify just this with their curved design and textured fabric.

02. Low Maintenance & Lightweight Cast Aluminium

Spend more time relaxing and enjoying the good weather when you can. Low maintenance and lightweight furniture are where it’s at. Some of our top selling ranges, the Hampshire and Capri,  provide style and comfort while offering minimal upkeep. Customers want furniture that they can easily move around for whatever occasion they need. Extremely lightweight they are the perfect purchase for that low maintenance furniture set you’ve always craved.

With the temperatures rising and summer just around the corner, you might be thinking about improving or renovating your garden or patio. Good outdoor furniture could last a lifetime if maintained well, so choosing styles that are ahead of the curve will ensure that your choices outlast the latest design trends, too. We’ve done our homework and found out what the very best outdoor furniture trends are in 2024 and beyond. From sustainable materials to vibrant, bold colours and modular shapes, here’s everything you need to know. 

03. Sustainable & Organic Materials

Organic and sustainable materials reign supreme this year thanks to their rustic lived in look that blend effortlessly into their surroundings. FSC certified timber ranges such as Sherwood and Bolney along with natural rope ranges such as the Sarasota and Eden are just some of the neutral choices that can be accompanied by organic textured materials to bring a feeling of luxury to your outdoor furniture set. 

04. Comfortable and functional Outdoor Seating

Comfortable and functional outdoor seating that is made to last is where it’s at in 2024. Plush outdoor sofas, high back cushioned chairs and reclining corner units are increasing in popularity year after year thanks to our durable performance fabrics that are designed to withstand the elements. Our exclusively designed furniture ranges all guarantee comfort and functionality with varying options to choose from. Hamilton, Delgany, Vancouver and Rio Grande are just some of our top selling premium ranges.

05. Hanging Chairs

Hanging chairs have been a trend for a while, but year after year, new shapes, styles, and even materials have taken centre stage, showing us the ideal piece to hang every spring/summer. Hanging chairs can transform a space into a cosy retreat, providing a perfect spot for reading and relaxation. From the single Sedan Natural Weave to the Aranweave Rope Double hanging chairs, there’s a hanging chair for every space in our collection.

06. Vibrant Colours

While earthy tones will always have a place outdoors, designers are also looking towards the resurgence of colours in interior design, especially with pop-coloured shades of blue, green, orange, and pink. When it comes to outdoor furniture colours to avoid, however, steer clear of using too much colour throughout and keep it to one smaller area. Consider our vibrant range of Air XL chairs to add that pop of colour to your garden. Add a few pillows or throws and you're on-trend.

Whether you’re hosting a barbecue with friends or seeking a cosy corner to relax and unwind, modular furniture allows you to adapt the layout accordingly.
