2022 Outdoor Entertaining Trends


Well-Defined Outdoor Rooms

Don’t settle for just a seating area — go for a bonus living area! Start with an all-weather rug and add sofas, chairs, and tables to create a welcoming, comfortable seating area that is well-defined. Keeping all furniture legs on the rug is the key to clearly defining your space, and it’s the same trick I use when planning an interior seating area. The rug should expand on all sides so that the chairs rest on a flat surface, even when pushed back — this is both for aesthetic reasons, and for safety!

Curves and Rounded Forms

Just like indoor furnishings, outdoor furniture is getting a silhouette update for 2022. Look for rounded, curvy forms in outdoor furniture, tables, decor, and more! Psychologically speaking, people find rounded, organically-shaped objects to be calming. Choosing these shapes for your outdoor entertaining area will enhance the cozy vibes. Try arranging your furniture in a loose circle around a central point and choose a round rug to complete the look.

Indoor Comforts, Outdoor Living

When it comes to furnishing your outdoor entertaining space, just apply the same design rules for decorating your interior spaces. Pull furniture away from the perimeter and create a seating area that invites conversation. Add a comfy sectional or two smaller sofas and place them directly across from each other. Next, add side tables and a coffee table — just like in your living room! Overstuffed cushions and colorful throw pillows give outdoor furniture a luxurious feel. Enhance nighttime entertaining with an outdoor-rated lamp, candles, or string lights for a casual, festive look.
