If it’s been a while since you’ve updated an outdoor space – whether at your home or for a client – and you don’t quite know where to begin, you’re not alone. According to a survey by ICFA, 59% of people plan to buy new furniture for their outdoor spaces this year.
With so many designs, styles, and colors to choose from, checking in on current trends can be a great starting point. And with the launch of Uttermost’s new outdoor furniture collection, we’re here to help you pair your favorite home trends for outdoor furniture with our newest pieces.
In this article, we’ll dive into the most popular outdoor furniture trends of the summer, and explore how you can seamlessly style your space.
Why Should You Keep up With Patio Furniture Trends?
While design trends are ever-evolving, it’s important to keep on top of them for a number of reasons. If you’re a designer, you should know what pieces and designs your customers want to see now, and what will impress them in the near future. If you’re a retailer, having an innovative, fully coordinated exterior can draw customers in, leading to new business. And finally, if you’re a homeowner, cohesively styled outdoor spaces can add resale value to your house.
Top 10 Outdoor Furniture Trends
We’ve analyzed the top trending designs, styles, and colors in outdoor furniture this year from industry experts and our first-hand experience at High Point Market this spring. Let's look at those leading the charge.
1. Al Fresco Living
Al fresco living, otherwise known as indoor-outdoor transitional spaces, is one of the most popular trends for exteriors right now. Homeowners, designers, and retailers are all looking to create fully designed outdoor living spaces where they can spend as much time, and live as comfortably, as they do indoors.
From a design perspective, bringing the outdoors in can incorporate earth tones and durable materials. From a functionality perspective, al fresco living can mean creating a livable, comfortable space that enables everyday indoor activities outdoors from dining to lounging.

2. Wicker Chairs
Wicker chairs have maintained their place in outdoor furniture and decor for hundreds of years – and for good reason. Wicker is popular because it’s light, it has a timeless and luxurious look, and it’s low-maintenance. This makes it both practical and flexible for all exterior design styles.
While wicker furniture may not be new to you, Uttermost’s brand-new, all-weather wicker furniture collection includes designs we promise you’ve never seen before. Take a look at some of our new wicker outdoor seating below.
3. Modular Furniture
Modular furniture is another trend we’re seeing take over exterior designs because of its flexibility, especially surrounding entertaining and storage. When it comes to entertaining, modular designs can be reconfigured to work for your space. Its ability to be separated easily from other furniture pieces makes it easier to store in colder winter months.
Take a closer look at this outdoor sectional – featuring the flexibility of modular furniture with a high-end luxurious look.
4. Durable Fabrics
For outdoor furniture and decor, durability is key – especially for fabrics, a key component of indoor-outdoor living. Outdoor furniture is only worth the investment if you know it will last for years to come, no matter the weather or extent of use, and it’s becoming a non-negotiable for patio designs and outdoor living spaces.
When choosing outdoor furniture, make sure you research the materials used to manufacture it. For example, many acrylic fabrics are:
- UV-resistant
- Waterproof
- Resistant to dirt and wear

5. Neutrals and Light Earth Tones
This year, many outdoor living spaces are boasting neutral colors, including natural, light earth tones. These color palettes not only reflect the natural tones found in nature, but they also blend well with any design and decor. Because they’re neutral, it’s also easy to change your setup and add pops of color.
A large range of earth tones mix and match well with any outdoor design style, from dining tables and chairs, to accessories, to wall decor. See some of our favorite neutral-toned pieces below:
6. Uniquely Shaped Accent Tables
Abstract, uniquely shaped accent tables are also gaining traction in 2025. Like other accent pieces, tables are a functional way to incorporate a statement piece in outdoor living spaces. Whether it’s a neutral color or a bold, rich hue, accent tables with interesting shapes are an easy and affordable way to elevate a design and create a luxurious look.
7. Fully Coordinated Outdoor Dining Sets
Outdoor dining is also seeing a surge in popularity, and we expect it to stick around in the coming years. Fully coordinated spaces are more than just chairs and tables. Consumers are looking for cohesive collections that match, are durable, and are made with exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
(Uttermost’s cohesive collection includes not just matching tables and chairs, but also table decor, lighting, and even outdoor wall decor. Create an outdoor dining space users will never want to leave!)
8. Greenery-Inspired Layouts
Botanicals are a core element of outdoor design, inspiring the style choices surrounding them. Whether it’s greenery-inspired textile patterns or designing around the actual plants themselves, there are plenty of ways to bring the indoors to an exterior space.

9. Mixed Materials
Another outdoor trend you might notice gaining traction is furniture and decor built and designed using mixed materials. Mixed materials allow you to blend multiple design styles into one to create a more complex, versatile, elevated look. Think blending wood with metals to create an “industrial chic” design.
