The cold season undoubtedly has its advantages: You can make yourself really cozy at home, indulge in delicious snacks, enjoy Christmas with your loved ones and start the new year full of hope. But it's always a highlight when spring arrives and it's time to get out into the garden again. This is particularly true this time, as the garden furniture trends 2024 contain exciting ideas that many garden owners are sure to enjoy putting into practice.

Sustainability as a way of life

Above all, those who enjoy spending time in nature appreciate its benefits and think about how they can protect it. One of the magic words here is sustainability. Manufacturers are also aware of this, which is why they are paying more and more attention to ensuring that their products meet this criterion. After all, none of them want to alienate their customers. Accordingly, there is a wide range of garden furniture made of wood, as wood not only looks more natural, but also has a better carbon footprint than plastic, for example. This is often marked with an FSC seal so that buyers can be sure that it comes from responsibly managed forests. Other manufacturers do use aluminum, but it is recycled, which is also in line with the concept of sustainability.

When it comes to the styles that will be popular in 2024, the leading styles will be those that are all about relaxation, comfort and closeness to nature. The boho style, for example, is characterized by cosiness, light colors and different textiles. In terms of the latter, cushions and blankets are essential accessories that are not only pleasing to the eye, but also ensure that you can sit or lie down comfortably. This brings the living room out into the fresh air, as an outdoor sofa and a hanging chair ensure that spending time outdoors is all about relaxation.

Minimalism will also become a widespread trend in 2024. This also has to do with the aforementioned concept of sustainability: You only buy what you really need and do without the superfluous. This also involves getting rid of what you no longer need, because the fewer possessions you have, the less you are overwhelmed. An additional advantage of the minimalist style is its clear lines and the resulting calm and harmony.

Another style for the coming year is the natural garden. This is characterized by the fact that certain areas are left in their natural state and furniture is only placed at a sufficient distance so as not to disturb animals and insects. The garden furniture is primarily made from natural materials.

In addition to garden furniture from sustainable production, 2024 also brings with it the trend of having a good time. In addition, superfluous items will be dispensed with and the furnishings will be adapted to nature.
