2017 Outdoor Design Trends

14th Mar 2017

If you are planning to design a new outdoor space in 2017, there are some trends you definitely don’t want to miss out on. In addition to beautiful teak patio furniture, there are a number of ways to make your outdoor space a special reflection of you, on just about any budget.

No More Matchy-matchy Furniture

We’re happy to say that one of the top new outdoor furniture trends for 2017 is mixing and matching furniture styles, textures and colors. We’re glad everyone is catching up with something we have been doing for a long time.

Mixing and matching styles of outdoor furniture is a great way to make a space your own. Start with playing with styles of seating. Try something like our beautiful, sleek and traditional Aqua Sol Curved Lounger paired with our big, comfy deep seating like our Aqua Supreme Modular Seating series.

Think outside of the box and combine different textures as well as styles. Combine any of our traditional, sleek teak patio furniture with a couple of our wicker-look teak Aqua Majesty chairs that are designed for you to curl up on with a good book all day long.

Try mixing it up even more with color options. Choose a brick sunbrella for your deep-seating chairs and a cheerful yellow for your loungers. The more color, the better!

Landscape as Food

Adding beautiful containers to your outdoor space and filling them with fragrant herbs, edible flowers and micro-greens is something you’ll see more professional landscapers using in their designs this year. But you don’t have to be a pro to implement this trend like one. If you are worried about not having a green thumb, this is a great choice for you. Because you are planting in moveable containers, you can adjust your placement to ensure proper sun exposure. And, honestly, if your decorative cabbage and rosemary don’t make it, just replace them. A new plant only costs a few dollars at your local home and garden center. No one has to know. It’ll be our little secret.

Made By Nature

We’re thrilled that natural landscaping is overtaking highly manicured and angular gardens as the preference of top landscape designers. The use of native plants and less fussy maintenance requirements, are both aspects of this trend. Teak patio furniture is the perfect choice if your landscaping is taking advantage of this new trend.

Active Space

The integration of lounging and socializing space with area that are set aside for activities, is a trend we love. Imagine your teak loungers and sofas arranged for conversation on the outskirts of your new bocce ball court, croquet lawn, or horseshoe pits. Guests and family members who are skilled and not-so-skilled at these outdoor activities are sure to add a lot of excitement and laughter to the conversations taking place in the social space.

Trending Toward Teak

We’re thrilled, but not surprised, by the last trend the design experts are telling us to keep an eye out for. And that is a trend toward more teak furniture and accessories in outdoor spaces.
