What's new in garden design?
Garden design in 2025 is all about creating outdoor spaces that feel as intentional and inviting as our interior spaces. This year, the focus is on comfort, versatility, and natural beauty, with outdoor furniture playing a central role in transforming any garden into a functional, stylish extension of your home. Below we have outlined five of the most popular garden design trends for this year that showcase a seamless blend of aesthetics and function to create your perfect outdoor space.
Multipurpose and modular seating
When it comes to creating the perfect garden set-up, versatility is key. One of the most popular outdoor decor trends that lends itself to this versatility is modular seating and multipurpose furniture. For the longest time, there has been a clear distinction between lounging garden furniture and dining furniture; however, if your garden lacks space or you’re simply looking to easily reconfigure your furniture to fit your needs, modular seating is the solution. Whether you’re looking for a garden sofa and table set that can take you from solo relaxation to evening cocktail party, or a multipurpose coffee table that transforms into extra seating, this trend offers convenience and timelessness. Letting you relax, eat, and host guests all in one spot, this trend maximises the use of your outdoor areas.

Nature-inspired materials
Another trend that we’ve seen become increasingly popular is furniture that is taking its design inspiration straight from nature. This move toward more natural materials reflects the growing desire to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, creating spaces that feel grounded and deeply connected to their surroundings. With materials like wood, acacia and rattan being the most popular choices for their durability in all weathers and aesthetic appeal, these pieces infuse your outdoor space with a bit of nature’s charm. Rattan furniture, in particular, is a popular option for this trend due to its traditional and timeless design, with rope weave and wooden garden furniture offering a more modern take, giving your space a bohemian, rustic vibe.
Tech-enhanced outdoor spaces
With the world becoming so centralised around technology, it is no shock that it is now permeating our outdoor spaces. Whether it be motorised LED pergolas, automated plant care devices, or smart colour-changing lighting, garden furniture with integrated technology is on the rise. Making it easy to create an aesthetically pleasing space that is easy to maintain, outdoor tech allows you to create an atmospheric garden unique to your style and your outdoor needs. Below are just a couple of examples of the products we have available to enhance your garden with unique technology.

Statement pieces and sculptural forms
This year, we have also seen an increasing trend of outdoor furniture going far beyond simple utility and basic aesthetics, instead there are more furniture pieces that make for a bold design statement - straying away from the conventional garden decor. Embracing sculptural forms and eye-catching silhouettes, this trend turns everyday outdoor furniture into functional art. Used as a way to create visual intrigue these pieces can anchor a space and bring a more expressive, design-forward approach to outdoor living. From curved daybeds that resemble modern art installations to cocoon-style hanging chairs and multi-purpose sectional sofas, these pieces command attention and effortlessly transform the vibe of your garden. Whether you’re styling a small city terrace or creating a relaxed backyard retreat, sculptural outdoor furniture is a trend that transforms your garden into a space that feels as artful as it is inviting.
Indoor comfort outdoors
Bringing the comfort of your living room to your garden, this indoor-outdoor trend is all about turning your outdoor space into a relaxing sanctuary with the same level of comfort as you’d find inside your home. Think deep, plush sofas that could easily be mistaken for their indoor counterparts, ergonomic sun loungers, and elegant dining sets, all made from weather-resistant materials. Helping you to craft an outdoor experience that invites you to stay outside a little longer, whether you’re hosting guests for a dinner around the fire pit or curling up with a book at golden hour, the vibe of this trend is unmatched. Add a pergola, coffee table and outdoor rug to truly bring the cosy aesthetic of inside your home, out to enjoy nature in comfort and style.
