As the weather starts to warm up and the sun begins to shine, it’s time to start thinking about revamping your patio for the season. Spring is the perfect time to invest in new outdoor furniture! Let’s take a look at six 2023 patio furniture trends that are sweeping backyards this year and how to achieve each look with some of the stylish and durable brands available at The Fireplace Center & Patio Shop.
Outdoor spaces are being designed with a more natural and organic look, using materials such as rattan, wicker, and teak. These materials offer a warm and inviting atmosphere and can be paired with earthy colours and textures to create a cozy outdoor living space.
For all-weather wicker patio furniture, shop our Cabana Coast collection for cozy and stylish lounge sets with that soft wicker aesthetic that is as durable as it is beautiful.Â
For teak and Ipe wood furniture, Jensen Leisure is known for their heirloom-quality pieces. Teak wood is resistant to rot and decay, and their furniture pieces have a classic and timeless design that is perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. The natural finish of their furniture pieces gives a warm and inviting feel to your patio.
2. Bold Colors Vibrant colours are making a comeback this year, with bright shades of green, blue, and orange being popular choices for patio decor. These bold colours can add a fun and lively touch to your outdoor space, but beware of purchasing big-ticket items in loud colours that may go out of style (or that you may simply grow tired of)! We suggest opting for more neutral-coloured patio furniture and bringing in bright splashes of colour with items that are easier to rotate, such as rugs, cushions, and tableware.Â
If you’re confident in your love for a particular colour and want to purchase bold patio furniture, Ratana’s Park Lane Collection is available with 145 different upholstery colourways and prints!
Mixing and matching different styles, colours, and textures is becoming more popular in patio styling this year. You can create a unique and personalized outdoor space by pairing different furniture pieces and decor items that complement each other. This eliminates the generic feel of overly-matching sets and gives you a chance to be eclectic!Â
Outdoor rugs are no longer just a practical addition to your patio; they are now stylish accessories that can bring together your outdoor space. Rugs with bold patterns or bright colours can add a pop of colour and texture to your patio and can help define a seating area.Â
Eco-friendly materials and sustainable design practices are becoming more important to homeowners when choosing outdoor furniture and decor. Many brands are now offering furniture pieces made from recycled materials or sustainably-sourced wood, which not only benefit the environment but also provide a unique and stylish look to your patio.
Jensen Leisure’s eco-friendly and long-lasting teak wood furniture pieces fit the bill! They use sustainably-sourced teak wood that is beautiful but also resistant to decay… meaning that (if properly cared for) it can last for generations– another win for the environment.
6. Multi-functional Furniture Multi-functional furniture is becoming more popular in patio design, with pieces that can serve more than one purpose. For example, a bench with built-in storage or a coffee table that doubles as a fire pit (such as several of the options we carry by Napoleon!).
Do any of these 2023 patio furniture trends resonate with your backyard vision? Incorporating some of these trends into your outdoor living space can help create a functional and stylish area that you’ll love spending time in– which is the most important part!
