Garden Furniture Trends: The Outdoor Area Becomes the New Indoor Area

Summer is finally here and is luring us outside. Which garden furniture will be trendy in 2023 and how can you design your individual outdoor areas.

Nowadays, many garden furniture items can easily keep up with their living room counterparts, both in terms of design and quality. For this reason, there has been a trend in recent years to transform terraces and balconies into fully-fledged outdoor living areas. Manufacturers such as Cassina, B&B Italia and Dedon offer complete outdoor collections that are hardly distinguishable from indoor dining tables, chairs and sofas in terms of detail, aesthetic design and luxurious appearance.

Garden chairs & lounge furniture: The hottest trends for the terrace

Recently, two areas are increasingly being designed, provided there is enough space: a dining area with comfortable chairs and a separate lounge area with comfortable sofas and wide armchairs. The lounge area serves as a cozy retreat.

Daybeds and hanging chairs as popular retreats for relaxation

If you have even more space available, you can also enjoy a summer siesta on a daybed. These comfortable outdoor beds are often equipped with a fixed roof or a fold-out sunshade. Hanging chairs are also very popular, such as the handmade "KIDA" hanging chair by Dedon or the "Wing light hanging chair" by Fischer Möbel.

Garden furniture: Which materials can withstand all weather conditions?

Modern garden furniture not only has to meet the highest design standards, but also has to withstand a rain shower without any problems. Thanks to materials such as polypropylene or polyrattan, they are completely weatherproof. The cushions and upholstery are also made of high-tech textiles that offer effective protection against moisture and sunlight. Even stains from sunscreen can be removed effortlessly.

Terraces made homely and comfortable with outdoor carpets

Just like indoors, the right decoration and creative design also play an important role on the terrace. In addition to cushions, parasols and plant pots, outdoor rugs play a crucial role. They not only provide instant comfort, but also serve to structure dining and lounge areas. Don't worry, the outdoor rugs, such as those from the Pappelina brand, are weatherproof and can easily survive summer storms.

Expand your living space with targeted lighting

A well-thought-out lighting concept is an important part of the stylish design of the outdoor area. Manufacturers such as Occhio and Foscarini offer options for developing a holistic lighting concept with floor spotlights, wall lamps, floor lamps and table lamps. Portable and wireless table lamps are also particularly popular at the moment, such as the models from Fermob or Dedon with the model " The Others ". These LED lights provide sufficient brightness for several hours without a power socket.
