Summer Trends We're Still Loving
Some trends disappear before July’s even over. Others settle in and make themselves comfortable.
This summer, a few favourites have refused to leave our feeds, gardens and living rooms. Better still, they’re the kind that work beyond a single sunny weekend.
Here are the pieces still earning their place, plus a few easy ways to make them work a little harder.
Garden Seats That Get Used
Good outdoor seating should do more than look nice through the window.
Our outdoor high-back bean bags have become a proper garden staple, with supportive backs made for staying put a little longer. Pair them with a classic bean bag for lower, laid-back seating, then add a few outdoor footstools to turn any patch of garden into a full lounging setup.
Hosting more people? Our outdoor modular sofa can be moved and rearranged to suit the day, from a sprawling group setup to a smaller, cosier corner.
Small Cushions, Big Difference
Cushions do a lot of work for something so easy to move around.
Striped cushions bring a relaxed coastal feel that never really dates, while sea shell shapes add a playful, seaside touch. Mix them across a garden sofa, pile them onto a bean bag or bring them indoors when the weather changes its mind.
An easy summer update, with no furniture reshuffle required.
Velvet After Hours
Velvet in summer sounds unlikely. We get it.
But once the evenings cool down, there’s something very right about sinking into a velvet bean bag. Rich shades bring depth to lighter summer spaces without making them feel heavy, while the soft finish adds just enough indulgence.
Pull one into a reading corner, add it to the living room or bring it outside for evening drinks once the sun has called it a day.
Still Good. Still Going.
This summer has been all about texture over busy pattern, warm neutrals with the occasional bold accent, and gardens treated like proper living spaces rather than somewhere the washing line happens to be.
It’s less about chasing the next thing and more about choosing pieces that look good, feel better and actually get used.
Because comfort never really goes out of style.
