Outdoor Trends 2026: Noble Materials and Nature-Inspired Colours

In 2026, the outdoors is designed with the same care as a living room. Garden and terrace furniture is becoming more comfortable, more characterful and more durable, turning every space into a genuine open-air living room. Driven by the desire to extend the home outdoors and reconnect with nature, it blends aesthetics with well-being. Here is an overview of the trends set to define the season.

Noble, long-lasting materials

Responsibly sourced teak, recycled aluminium and hand-woven cords are the season’s clear favourites. We love mixed-material combinations — wood, metal and natural weave — that bring depth and texture to a setting. Performance fabrics, UV-resistant and easy to care for, complete generous, comfortable seating. More than a style statement, this pursuit of quality is a sustainable choice: well-designed furniture lasts for years without going out of fashion.

A nature-inspired palette

Warm, mineral tones lead the way: terracotta, clay, sand and olive warm up the terrace, while sage green and deep blues — jade, ocean blue — add a touch of sophistication. Pair them with matching textiles and accessories to create a cohesive mood. Colours drawn from the landscape, chosen to create a calm and timeless atmosphere.

Comfort, dining and conviviality

Modular lounges invite you to unwind, extended by relax areas made for lazing about. Around beautiful tables, there is time to entertain; shared moments around the barbecue remain at the heart of summer, in the shade of elegant parasols. The outdoors becomes a place to entertain, recharge and fully enjoy the season.
