- The rise of curved outdoor furniture
Jonny Brierley, Managing Director of NUMA, shares, “Curved outdoor furniture has been increasing in popularity and continues to grow as homeowners look to create garden spaces that feel softer and more relaxed. Rounded silhouettes naturally encourage conversation and help spaces feel more welcoming, especially in outdoor settings where the goal is often to unwind and spend time with loved ones.”
“We are seeing a growing preference for pieces with gentle curves because they bring a sense of fluidity and movement to a garden while still maintaining a clean and contemporary look. They also complement the natural, flowing shapes of plants and trees, making the space feel more organic and considered.”
2. The timeless appeal of grey in the garden
Brierley says, “Grey continues to be a popular choice for outdoor furniture because it strikes the perfect balance between timeless and contemporary. Grey outdoor furniture works beautifully with natural surroundings, whether that’s a lush green garden or stone patios. Grey creates a calm and cohesive backdrop for every garden.”
“At Numa, we often see people gravitating towards softer greys and charcoal tones because these hues feel sophisticated without being overpowering. Grey outdoor furniture is also one of the most practical choices for outdoors, as it is more forgiving with everyday wear while still looking elegant season after season.”
3. The modular movement
“The most beautiful gardens feel considered with pieces that work together visually. Our coordinated and modular collections make it easy to build a space that feels relaxed, comfortable and timeless.” Concludes Brierley
