Contemporary Garden
Transform your outdoor space into the epitome of chic by injecting a sleek and minimalist style into your patio decor. Think: dark wood, clean lines and a mix of gravel and pale stone.
Weather-All outdoor material is a great alternative to wood, as it's made from mostly recycled poly-lumber and is completely recyclable without additives, fibreglass or lead. It's super easy to clean, not susceptible to mold or mildew, and its colours won't fade from exposure to harsh sunlight.
Sectionals are a cozy way to pull your oasis together, and are great for accommodating gatherings of family and friends. This modular sectional seating is available in an array of sizes and colours, and usually comes with an accompanying side table ensuring cocktails and snacks are never out of reach. Extruded or cast aluminum pieces fit well into this trend providing sleek lines, an ultra-modern aesthetic, cool angular frames (and easy maintenance). Both types of aluminum are ultra durable and guaranteed to last for many seasons. Extruded aluminum is created by forcing aluminum through a die, thus taking the shape of the mould. These pieces are then welded together into a piece of furniture. Cast aluminum is made through sand casting, wherein molten aluminum is poured into the sand mould to form the furniture's structure.
Throw up some dreamy light fixtures to complete this patio look. From outdoor floor lamps, overhead pendants, or individual lanterns to light meandering garden paths, these fixtures will add whimsy and romance to your space.

Boho Chic
Easily create your own bohemian paradise by incorporating elements of rattan, hammocks and whimsical lights. Look for pieces in stunning, neutral shades that are both traditional and transitional. Furniture made from resin wicker will work especially well with this style. This material, also known as all-weather wicker, is made of a synthetic material called polyethylene that is woven in the wicker style, and is exceptionally durable.
Nothing invites long, lazy afternoons quite like a hammock, so lucky for you, these outdoor havens are back in vogue. Try teaming your hammock with an array of dreamy lights to create an infinitely enchanting space perfect for entertaining, or sleeping.
Comfy & Cozy
For the ultimate comfy and cozy look, opt for an outdoor style that incorporates indoor elements of your home. Warm-toned wooden (or Weather-All) furniture and accent pieces combined with plush sectionals are the epitome of outdoor luxe and comfort. Try teaming these elements with a fire table dining collection, which is a traditional dining table with a fire pit built-in doubling as a communal space for entertaining friends and family, and keeping you cozy on those chilly summer nights.

If stark, angular lines aren't for you, try sticking to traditional patio furniture collections with softer lines and plusher seats. . This isn't your parents' patio furniture; with new materials and colours, traditional-style patio furniture is more luxurious, durable and stylish than ever before.
Mediterranean Paradise
Bring the Mediterranean closer to home by styling your outdoor oasis like the set of Mama Mia! Think: clean lines, white linens, neutral wood and everything rattan. Consider opting for sectionals, individual seating or accents made from resin wicker. Extruded and cast aluminum work well for this style as well, providing clean and angular lines that are durable and easy to maintain. Of course, any Mediterranean paradise wouldn't be complete without a hammock (or two), a sprinkling of dreamy lights and lush linens. Enjoy a mini getaway with family and friends, and be sure to serve up extra souvlaki and cocktails.

Scandi Style
Achieve the ultimate patio hygge by decking out your patio in minimalist Scandinavian style. Incorporating elements of previous trends, Scandi style works well with pale wood (or galvanized steel/aluminum ), sectionals and individual seating with angular frames and bright lighting. To keep things fun, try splashing pops of colour throughout your patio set-up with pillows or throw blankets.
In keeping with Scandinavian efficiency, try your hand at DIY solar lights, smart sensors, fun festoon lighting or a good, old-fashioned lamp post. The right light ensures your summer entertaining can last long into the night.
