Summer over, trends ahead: this is what outdoor living will look like in 2026

As the last summer evenings fade, a new season full of ideas is taking shape. Discover how bronze, bouclé, and rounded shapes will give tomorrow's outdoor living a stylish update.

As the last summer evenings fade, a new season bursting with ideas is dawning. What will 2026 bring to outdoor living? One thing is clear: outdoor living will become even more stylish. From new materials and colors to surprising comfort: according to SUNS, these are the outdoor trends for 2026.

Anyone redesigning their patio or garden in 2026 will be choosing not only comfort but also aesthetics. Think warm bronze-colored aluminum, organic shapes, and fabrics you'd normally expect to find indoors. SUNS offers a glimpse of the future. The brand is introducing a new aluminum color: bronze. Not flashy, yet refined, and perfectly complements natural tones and materials. It adds a stylish warmth to any outdoor space, equally at home on a southern French patio or in a modern city garden.

SUNS is also taking a bold step in textiles. Bouclé, familiar from elegant interiors, is now being translated outdoors. The new Sea Shell Bouclé and Pebble Dessert Bouclé fabrics feel soft and create an inviting atmosphere. If you lounge on a fully upholstered set in these fabrics, the only risk is that you'll never want to get up again...

That sense of refinement is enhanced by the choice of materials. While teak previously dominated, SUNS now increasingly opts for aluminum, including in familiar models like the Vento and Pico. These models are available in a fresh, light Camel Sand finish. The result is a contemporary look, combined with the practical benefit of reduced maintenance. A smart choice, without compromising on aesthetics.

From tight corners to soft curves

Another striking feature of the 2026 collection: rounded, flowing shapes trump sleek lines. Lounge sets with soft silhouettes feel friendlier and more natural. Modularity is key: SUNS's "You Create" concept allows you to create your ideal configuration. Whether you have a compact balcony or a spacious terrace, you determine the number of seats, shapes, and connections. And don't miss the new rope style, "Misty Rope," a slightly thicker woven rope with a luxurious look, featured in the Nappa and Dolce dining chairs, among others. Subtle details, big impact.

For those who enjoy adding design without necessarily opting for a high-end setup, SUNS also offers innovation in its Essentials collection. New sets combine comfort, style, and quality in an accessible way. 

The new SUNS collection will be available from early 2026. Want to take a look? Previews are already available at the Experience Center in Vught. here an appointment.
