7 Backyard Trends To Try This Summer For A Relaxing Oasis
Looking to give your backyard a summer refresh? Here are the hottest trends of the season to turn your space into a relaxing oasis.
1. Seaside resort
Turn your backyard into a private paradise with decor inspired by the elegance of a coastal vacation. Think shades of blue and furniture softened with touches of wicker, rattan or bamboo. This style strikes a perfect balance between easygoing charm and luxe living.

Channel the comfort and restfulness of a secluded country cabin, but with a modern spin. A set of rocking chairs is perfect for catching up with pals, and charming accessories like birdhouses and patterned cushions amp up the cozy factor for a patio you’ll love.

3. Classic clean
Minimalism is a trend that’s only picking up steam this summer. When it comes to patio sets with modern lines and neutral hues, there’s no shortage of options. These designs stand the test of time and provide a backdrop for more adventurous decor that can be swapped out with the seasons.

The line between indoor and outdoor furniture is blurring this season, with patio pieces that look so luxe and comfortable they could be moved inside seamlessly. Although most outdoor furniture is made with weather- resistant material, getting into the habit of covering your pieces when not in use will keep them looking new for years to come.

A quiet outdoor oasis is just what we need to escape from life’s hustle and bustle. The key is a comfortable chair, like this egg-shaped style, which provides a cozy cocoon to cuddle up with a book and a coffee or glass of wine. Protect the nook with a pretty parasol and you’ll want to lounge all day long.

7. Gentle waves
A common interior design style this year, furniture with curved edges has made its way outdoors to add softness and fluidity to your patio. If you’re not ready to commit to large anchor pieces, it’s easy to add roundness with cushions, lanterns and vases.
