This is best outdoor furniture for summer 2024 – stylish designs that look so good you'd happily have them inside, too

Made of acacia wood tinted grey to mimic teak, and topped with a cool concrete top that is sealed for weather resistance. The result gives it a slight industrial look and its sturdy appearance brings a strong focal point to your dining area.

I like how sleek and dominating this long table is and particularly light the choice of red. Clean, sharp lines and angles give the piece a contemporary charm, making dining more enjoyable indoors. The dining table's impact-resistant polyethylene material composition resistance to extreme atmospheric conditions.

If you're wondering whether to go round versus rectangular with your dining table, this beautiful piece might help you make a decision. Inspired by the design and look of luxury sailing vessels, the SEAX table has a sleek, slanted base and can sit four to five people comfortably for an al fresco meal.

I love a bit of terrazzo, it just adds such a playful style to wherever it is being used. On this stacked outdoor coffee table, the tabletop swivels to your very precise lounging needs, keeping your drink well within reach at every move. The duck egg blue shelf pairs with the terrazzo surface perfectly.

This coffee table works for indoor and outdoor and has a zellige tile-like ceramic surface. The gold hourglass base gives it a shapely look and it can add a bit of a Mediterranean backyard look to any backyard.

Covered entirely in ceramic tiles, the Kera is durable and totally splash-resistant. Its simple yet sculptural structure will make this coffee table a staple for minimalist outdoor furniture. It's available in beige but I like it in black for a bit more drama.

I love the curved, elegant form of this chair, with a striking profile. It's super comfortable too and works both inside and out. Lightweight and durable, the chair has a roomy seat and is available in a range of different colors - although black is a classic.

The Caya chair is a minimalist design built from steel and powder-coated, meaning it can withstand the weather and outdoor conditions all year round. The frame is delicate and elegant and clean lines will bring a minimalist feel to your space. 

As part of the Palissade collection, this dining chair has an aesthetically stylish form. The Palissade Collection is made to stand up to the elements, thanks to its weatherproof powder-coated steel and core strength. This dining armchair provides a comfortable seat at outdoor dining tables.

I was lucky enough to see the new Molteni outdoor collection at their showroom, and this was certainly the standout piece. The teak weaves its way around the back of the bench and the L-shape extends for a real relaxing backyard addition. 

Available in either slate grey or beach sand, the waterproof upholstery of the outdoor sofa contrasts well with the solid acacia wood base of this luxury L-shaped outdoor sofa. The matching coffee table is a nice addition, reflecting the construction of the sofa and a great place to put your feet up. 

Taking its cues from the Buchanan studio sofa that made waves in living rooms, and inspired by the broader trend for deckchair stripes for the backyard, I love the look of this outdoor sofa but it's worth noting it will need to be protected when not in use. 

A rocking chair is a nice backyard addition, with connotations of traditional porches that are furnished with these old-school chairs. But they can feel modern and fresh too and work as an accent chair. I love this chair's gentle curves, and elegant frame and it's available in a variety of colors.

I love the curved, sculptural structure of this outdoor chair based on Arne Jacobsen's original Paris Chair design in 1925. It's a timeless look that can work outdoors on a sunny day or can be pulled inside for a boho look indoors.

This swing chair is designed by Sika Design for Lumens and has a curved, egg-like design. It is made from powder-coated aluminum that gives a natural rattan appearance in a natural colored finish. Perfect for a porch or pergola that needs an accent chair to tie the space together.
