Outdoor furniture trends for 2010

Upholstery Journal | June 2010

Makers of outdoor furniture are keeping the current economic times in mind. Summer collections focus on bright colors and comfort, all while offering increased value.

Accessories, such as outdoor pillows, offer budget-conscious shoppers an inexpensive way to update an old set of outdoor furniture. Red and yellow are key colors this summer, along with calming shades of green and blue. The bright colors pop against another trend for the year—bright white frames.

To help to facilitate comfort, new designs feature deep cushions, rocking and reclining action, and “individualized” seats where each seat moves independently. New synthetics that mimic natural materials offer increased durability. Lightweight, non-rusting aluminum frames that look like wood or wicker are also popular.
