Popular trending patio furniture styles range from the latest hot products to traditional, regional, and retro designs. Before you set out shopping, decide what style is best suited for your lifestyle. Select a design theme that's an extension of the one inside your home to establish continuity in your outdoor living space.
Trendy Outdoor Rooms
One of the hottest trends for patio furniture is to create intimate secluded or semi-enclosed spaces that create outdoor rooms. These rooms can follow themes and depending on budget and square footage, you can create as many unique spaces as you wish.
Start with a simple patio setting for a conversation area, then branch out into an intimate space complete with a fire pit and chairs. Go big with a sectional that includes a chaise lounge or sofa set. Multi-functional furniture is the trend of wise shoppers. When it comes to creating outdoor spaces, the only limit is your imagination.
