OUTDOOR FURNITURE YOU'LL LOVE IN 2022
According to those in the know, the trends for outdoor furniture have been set as a direct result of the end of lockdown. During the pandemic, the onus for the home was to bring a flavour of the Great Outdoors, inside. Now that we’re all tentatively embracing the ‘new normal,’ the spotlight has fallen on bringing the indoors outside. With that in mind, those who want to stay ahead of the curve are looking at the Mediterranean for inspiration. If you’re stuck for ideas as to how to give your outdoor space that little extra ‘oomph,’ then here are some suggestions for outdoor furniture you’ll love in 2022.
Set the boundaries
Before you go anywhere near thinking about tables and chairs, the best advice is to define your areas. Using some of the Outdoor Rugs from the CB2 collection is the perfect way to break up your patio or decking into specific zones. If you’re going to be eating al fresco, check out our rugs made from recycled materials. These are made with bold, restaurant-style patterns, and are easy to clean. However, if you have outdoor furniture, such as sofas and armchairs, then look for something more neutral. Browse our collection, and you’ll find outdoor rugs made from the likes of durable polyester, they’re available in tones designed to create a cosy and laidback ambience.
Natural comfort
Because nature has come to mean so much in recent years, the trend for outdoor furniture is leaning heavily towards sustainable materials. Whether you’re after a dining table or chairs, you’ll find that much of the outdoor furniture in the CB2 range is made from wood. Timeless, durable, and easy to maintain, it certainly ticks all the practical boxes. However, look a little closer, you’ll find that a wide variety of our wooden outdoor furniture has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which ensures that the timber used has been sourced from sustainably-managed forests. This doesn’t mean that you have to favour the rustic look, as many of the tables and chairs in our collection have been designed with the contemporary in mind. For those who do enjoy the enduring beauty of natural wood, there are plenty of choices that fall straight into that aesthetic.
Unwind in style
When it comes to bringing the inside outside, there’s no better statement furniture than outdoor lounge furniture. For shaded areas where you can relax and enjoy some conversation, we offer a superb selection of outdoor and sectional sofas. If you’re embracing the Mediterranean theme, then it’s time to look at bright whites or bright blues, all evocative of the sky and sea. Sectional sofas are ideal for those quirky corners where a standard sofa might not fit, or larger, more adaptable areas, where you can configure the perfect layout. However, our outdoor lounge chairs and chaises can help to create areas in which to relax and enjoy the summer sun. To make sure your tan doesn’t edge towards pink, look for furniture that will hold ‘sunbrellas.’ Again, to maintain the Mediterranean feel, look for those with bold stripes and dynamic patterns that aren’t too busy. Black, white, and blue are going to be the big-hitters this year, so keep them on your radar.
