Outdoor furniture styles you should know
Shop by style
If you’re starting to think about refreshing your outdoor space with new patio furniture, first think about what kind of look you’d like to achieve—and which style of outdoor furniture you should look for to create a cohesive and functional space. Here are some of the most popular outdoor furniture styles you should know when shopping for the perfect furniture for you and your home.
Bohemian-style (boho) outdoor furniture
Bohemian-style outdoor furniture embraces free-spirited, well-traveled elements. A fusion of global styles, Bohemian furniture emphasizes organic, natural elements, earthy tones, and layered textures. If you’re creating a boho space, it’s all about forgetting the rules and mixing various artistic sensibilities. The Cane-line Hive collection achieves bohemian-style luxury thanks to a wicker-style frame that’s constructed from weather-resistant Cane-line Weave®, which mimics the look of organic materials. Other bohemian collections we love: The Gloster Lima collection and Skyline Design’s Krab collection.
Retro style or mid-century style outdoor furniture
Retro and mid-century modern furniture is characterized by clean lines, organic and streamlined forms, and minimal embellishments. Most furniture of this style takes design cues from the mid-20th century, featuring bold colors and geometric prints. Collections like the Nardi Net collection and the Cane-line Glaze collection.
Farmhouse-style outdoor furniture
Farmhouse-style outdoor furniture is becoming increasingly popular thanks to its versatility and blend of classic and new. The farmhouse outdoor furniture evokes warmth through natural textures, simple silhouettes, and neutral tones. Classic patterns and vintage elements can add timeless charm to this furniture style. Made from recycled wood, Sika Deisgn’s George collection exemplifies the rustic elements of farmhouse-style furniture. The Gloster Ventura collection is another great example of farmhouse furniture, combining organic charm with modern sensibilities.
French style outdoor furniture
Classic outdoor furniture—which includes French-style outdoor furniture—embraces Euro-style ornate details, rich colors, and luxe upholstery. Inspired by various historical periods, this furniture is characterized by its refined and elegant look. Woodard’s Parisienne collection, for instance, features whimsical shapes and ornate details that conjure images of Parisian living.
Pub-style outdoor furniture
Luxury, all-weather bar and counter tables and bar and counter stools create a versatile and functional outdoor bar area that stands up to the elements, as well as any spills, wear, or tear. This pub-style outdoor furniture lends itself to a more laid-back feel and is the perfect complement to an outdoor dining area or an outdoor lounge set.
