Thanks to technology and innovation, patio furniture has evolved dramatically to keep up with the growing trend of outdoor living. Patio furniture used to mean a charcoal grill and a few plastic folding chairs. Today, the outdoor space is an extension of our home and includes sophisticated appliances and comfortable, modern patio furniture.
According to a survey of home builders conducted by the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, a patio or deck is among the top three features that new home buyers request. Furniture that looks as good in the living room as it does in the backyard is the biggest trend in patio furniture ideas.
Contemporary design is the top style of the latest outdoor living trend. Here are our picks for the best modern patio furniture pieces that are versatile, comfortable and beautiful enough to live inside, but durable enough for your outdoor space.
Modern Outdoor Chairs
As in interior design, your chairs don’t have to match the sofa. Whether you already have an outdoor sofa or you’re starting from scratch, here are some chairs worth adding to your patio seating mix.
