What are this year’s biggest outdoor furniture trends? 2024 is due to break records for summer heat, with the El Nino weather front due to bring the heat up from the equator and our recent trend of scorching summers looking to continue. Outdoor furniture manufacturers and retailers need to stay abreast of what’s on trend to ensure they’re emphasising the products that consumers want, so here are some key furniture trends to look out for in Summer 2024.
Sustainable Outdoor Furniture
The use of sustainable materials is an important concern for many consumers and many businesses who wish to meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. Manufacturers may wish make use of recyclable materials and other sustainable alternatives when planning their summer ranges, while retailers may wish to highlight sustainable products to the customer.
Fire Pits
Staples of late summer nights, ensuring everyone stays cosy well into the evening with an ambient fire pit is sure to be one of the biggest outdoor furniture trends in 2024. Seeing your beautiful garden lit by the glow of a fire provides a unique atmosphere that you’ll end up craving all year round!
Weather Resistant Materials
We all know how much weather variation can be had in the UK summer months. One moment its glorious sunshine and the next a torrential downpour, so it’s important for any patio furniture to be appropriately weather resistant.
Garden Furniture Assembly Service
