Garden furniture trends 2025

The Internet of Things. The nation’s love affair with greys. Mix ‘n’ match, choose chunky or flowing. Here are the hottest garden furniture trends for 2025, along with some garden trends to help you create complete alfresco perfection.

Small is beautiful – Garden furniture for modern life

It’s an ongoing trend: because gardens in new build homes are often quite small, there’s a growing demand for small garden furniture without sacrificing on comfort and style. If that’s you, you’re in luck thanks to a better range of furniture designs specially for small gardens, patios and even balconies. The Norfolk Leisure Langham Mini Corner above is a good example, a super-stylish choice without the grand scale. Remember to measure the area you’ll be putting the furniture before making your choice and all should be well.

The grey love story carries on

Grey remains a hot favourite, a colour you can’t go wrong with because it goes perfectly with every imaginable colour. You can even mix different greys with confidence, it’ll always look good, a shade that makes a lovely quiet backdrop for vivid flowers and lush planting. People are also thinking cream this year, responding to a trend for pale, light-looking garden furniture that brightens up a space, made possible by innovative modern fabrics and materials that repel dirt, make short work of mould, and resist the weather.

The Malta set above offers creamy good looks, perfect for adult-only households but also for homes with children thanks to the tough, easy-care materials.

Outdoor life goes modular and multifunctional

Again to respond to demand from people with smaller gardens, outdoor furniture is becoming increasingly flexible, giving you several ways to arrange or combined items to suit various settings. Stackable options make storage easier, requiring very little space. Modular sofas and extendable tables are the stars of the show for 2025. Like the model below they’re perfect when you want to customise your outdoor spaces for different occasions. Use the gas-powered rising table in the set below at full height for formal eating or low for coffee, cakes and casual fun, a versatile choice.

Our customers also love the Norfolk Leisure Saloon 6 Seat Bar Set LED & ICE Bucket. It gives six people somewhere comfy to sit, you can eat and drink at it, or simply sit and chat until the sun goes down and late into the night.

Sustainable garden furniture matters

Eco-friendly materials are a priority for more people than ever, focusing on recycled and bio-based fabrics and frame materials. Recycled plastics and responsibly sourced timber are gaining popularity, reflecting an ongoing dedication to environmental responsibility. This cool acacia wood bench isn’t just beautiful and durable, it’s also from a sustainable source.

Accessorising to create your own personality-filled haven

The beauty of subtle shades like greys and creams is, they’re a dream to accessorise. In the same way as they complement plants and flowers, they also create the ideal backdrop for decor. Chunky hand-knitted blankets, classy LED lighting in the shape of gorgeous blooms, pretty multi-coloured cushions, they all help create a magical space packed with personality.

Blending natural materials with man-made

Incorporating natural materials like timber and stone into outdoor furniture creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. No wonder our real wood garden furniture with resin rattan weave makes such an attractive choice, along with our masonry and brick barbecues. A serene and cohesive environment is easy to achieve using a blend of new and traditional materials, adding depth and interest to outdoor furniture and garden accessories.

Curvy silhouettes and chunky delights

Outdoor furniture is embracing softer, curved lines as an exciting alternative to the beloved chunky, funky designs that fly out of the warehouse, giving you a sense of natural flow. Take a look at the contemporary Pang model below, all about the curves rather than the corners, giving you an inviting and relaxed look.

The tech revolution hits garden furniture

The long-predicted Internet of Things is on the way, with smart features being integrated into outdoor furniture. Look out for models offering tech like built-in charging for your gadgets, LED lighting and speakers for your sounds. These don’t just enhance functionality, it’s also more convenient than bringing a load of different devices outdoors or having to run in and outdoors to recharge things.

The garden itself – gardening trends for 2025

• Bold and colourful leaves and foliage
• Plants that thrive in climate-change conditions

• Living fences and walls, vertical gardens smothered in plants, perfect for small gardens
