Warmer weather on the way: the garden trends and tips for a stylish outdoor space
Jul 15, 2025
The days are getting longer, the sun is showing itself more often, and the temperature is slowly rising. It's the perfect time to transform your garden or patio into a comfortable and stylish outdoor space. Whether you want to relax, dine with friends, or enjoy a summer evening drink: with the right garden furniture and accessories, you can create a place where you'll love spending the whole day. Below, you'll discover the latest garden trends and practical tips for making the most of the warm weather.
1. Lounge comfort for long summer days
There's nothing quite like snuggling up in a soft lounge set after a hot day. Choose spacious sofas with plump cushions in airy fabrics. Modular lounge sets are ideal: you can easily adjust them to suit the number of guests or the time of day. Add a low table for drinks and snacks, and your outdoor lounge is complete.
2. Creating shadow with style
With more sun, good shade is essential. A floating parasol, pergola with canvas, or shade cloth not only provides cooling but also creates ambiance. Choose natural shades like beige, terracotta, or olive green for a soothing look. This way, you can enjoy your garden comfortably even during the hottest hours.
3. Eating outside as an experience
As soon as it gets warm, we move cooking and eating outside. A sturdy garden table with comfortable chairs will be the heart of your summer evenings. Combine this with mood lighting like solar lanterns or a fire pit, and you can enjoy the evening until the wee hours.
4. Coolness and greenery: smart planting tipsPlants not only create ambiance but also provide cooling. Large potted plants like bamboo or olive trees offer natural shade. Use fragrant herbs like lavender, mint, or rosemary for both decoration and flavor. Bonus: they keep mosquitoes away!
5. Choose weather-resistant materials
Warmer weather also means exposure to sun and moisture. Choose garden furniture made of aluminum, rope, or FSC-certified teak—materials that can withstand both heat and rain. Don't forget the cushions: water-repellent covers make a world of difference.
Bring on the warm weather!
With the right preparation and a few smart choices, you can transform your garden into a luxurious outdoor living space. Whether you want to lounge, dine, or simply relax in the sun—it all starts with the right patio furniture.
