TOP 5 TRENDS IN OUTDOOR FURNITURE FOR 2014

Mona

Darksky Blog has an article about the top five trends in outdoor furniture that I found useful:

  1. Exterior design - Outdoor furniture must be more than merely functional and durable. Exterior living is an extension of the interior living.
  2. Deep seating - No longer do home owners want a park bench feel when doing outdoor activities. They want outdoor seating options which include the deep, comfy cushions.
  3. Mix and match furniture - The eclectic look is taking off in 2014.
  4. Bold textilesbold prints is an emerging trend.
  5. Refurbishing - If budget is an issue, buy one key piece, like a couch or a dining table, and then supplement your set with used chairs.

These are great tips. On the point about refurbishing, we picked up a neat outdoor table that someone made out of an old wine barrel. Found it at an arts & crafts festival, so to anyone looking for other ideas, you might want to check local craft shows.
