What’s your modern outdoor furniture style?

Modern outdoor furniture can be as sleek and simple as contemporary architecture or inspired by the past, with the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s-led looks that are so popular. In this post we take a look at three uber-modern and three retro-look items to give you a good idea of what’s out there. Which will you love best?

Three ‘now’ modern outdoor furniture designs

Our first choice lets light and reflections do their magic to spectacular effect. Garden mirrors are hot news and this Florenity Galaxy Arch Mirror suits everyone’s garden, easy to affix and tailor-made for the great outdoors. Enhanced by pretty shutters, the colour couldn’t be more modern.

The boxy Tuscany Outdoor Corner Seating Set is modern every step of the way, from the resin rattan’s big, bold, simple weave to the super-simple chunky design and fat toning cushions. No nonsense, no fuss, just oodles of style.

This Titchwell Lounger in White comes with smooth good looks, a simple mechanism and everything you’d expect from twenty first century innovation: cool calm colours, an easy-clean finish, plenty of comfort and flexibility, a very long life expectancy and a style to complement everything from a smart poolside patio to a perfectly-formed garden deck.

Three retro-inspired garden furniture designs

Next let’s dial back time for some garden furniture with a vintage edge. The Norfolk Leisure Newmarket 3 Seat Swing takes the biscuit for retro-inspired lounging with its funky 1970s’ feel… but the functionality and materials are totally 2020s. Neutral-shade powder coated steel meets rugged Polyester fabric and soft cushion pads to provide something as durable as it is cool-looking. Our customers particularly like the curvy frame, and the side arm cushions designed for extra comfort.

This cute little Red Metal Rio Table isn’t just a brilliant bargain, affordable enough to buy a flock of them for key social spaces outdoors. The design refers back to the ’60s, the kind of thing you’d find outside a Parisian cafe. It comes in other colours too. The ledge around the edge is a great idea to keep everything safely on board. And don’t you just love the mid-century inspired garden chairs we’ve paired it with? It just goes to show, ‘matching’ isn’t the only route to a gorgeous garden entertainment space!

Bring subtle sage tones into your life with the Denver Sage Green Outdoor 4 Seater Dining Set. This design refers back to the trendy mid-20th century, with chairs that could have come straight out of a Scandinavian design museum. Sustainable acacia wood blends with durable resin rope to give you a whole lot of retro-look comfort with every mod con. All the fun of genuine vintage furniture without any of the expense or hassle.
