Looking to upgrade your outdoor space? Here’s the latest trends for garden furniture, tables and chairs, including our garden furniture with covers.
Spring is finally here, and as you venture outside to do a seasonal tidy-up, you might discover your garden furniture is looking a little tired. So, we’ve shared five of the latest trends for garden furniture, tables and chairs to help you upgrade your outdoor areas.
1. Durable Eco-friendly Polywood
Hot off the press with the latest garden furniture trends is sleek, slat-effect bases made from Polywood. Highly durable and eco-friendly, Polywood is a popular low-maintenance material for outdoor furniture. It mimics the look of wood but is weather-resistant and UV-resistant, so it won’t decay or splinter like real wood.
Ideal for outdoor corner sofas and garden dining sets with benches, Polywood garden furniture stays beautiful even when the weather turns ugly.
2. New Weave Rattan
Rattan has been in style for a while now, but we’re seeing new gorgeous variations trending across the garden design world. Giving a new, exotic twist on standard rattan, we are seeing monochrome effects in black, white and grey. Weather-resistant and shower-proof, polyester rattan offers all-year-round durability.
The perfect material for two-seater sofa sets with chairs, we’re loving the new wave of rattan that’s hitting the stores.
3. Sophisticated Metal Frames
A simple yet sophisticated look to garden furniture that seems to be trending this year are discreet metal frames. Think clean lines, softly shaped seat cushions and low glass tables. This versatile look can be incorporated in a wide array of garden design schemes, giving you the flexibility to change your outdoor areas seasonally.
Great for four-seater garden sets, smooth metal and stylish seat cushions gives you an elegant understated look.
4. Minimalist Vertical Lines
Continuing with the trend for simple, metal-framed garden furniture, we’re also seeing designer-inspired styles using vertical lines. Whether used in seatbacks or armrests, this look works well with patios and courtyards if you want to create a Mediterranean feel. Surround your seating area with terracotta urns containing small trees or shrubs.
If you want to add a touch of Grecian glamour to a garden patio, then sleek, metal frames work well with four-seater garden sofa sets.
5. Adaptable Garden Furniture
One popular trend that also keeps costs to a minimum is to choose a garden furniture set that can be easily transformed into different adaptations. Convertible outdoor furniture offers ultimate versatility, ensuring your garden works for every occasion. Sofas that change into sun loungers with multipurpose tables can help you optimise your garden space.
Get into the holiday spirit with garden sofas that become day beds, as well as giving you the option of converting into a corner sofa.

Designers always recommend treating your garden as another room in your home, except it’s outside.
