Backyard Furniture Ideas Every Home Needs

1. How do I design my backyard?

Start by looking at the terrain, weather and needs your furniture will solve. Whether you have a cosy courtyard garden or a large lawn, you can turn any space into an outdoor paradise with the help of our Backyard Ideas Guide.

2. Privacy and Comfort

Privacy screens, fences and pool gates create a safe space for the whole family, so you can relax on a sun lounger while the little ones play outside. Our safety-focused designs combine modern materials with functional forms for private spaces that are easy on the eye and easy on the budget.

3. Landscaping, outdoor sectionals, and extra seating

Add exciting visual elements to large, open spaces with raised planters, hedging and multi-level landscaping. Build an entertaining patio with a dining table, or brings the soothing sound of water to your private oasis with a pond or water feature.

4. Hang in a hammock

Experience ultimate relaxation lying back and reading a book in a swing chair or hammock. Holiday vibes are yours! And as seasons change, you’ll have space-saving outdoor storage to tidy it all away. Feel zen with a clutter-free backyard.

5. Plant a fruit and vegetable garden

A fruit and veg garden cleverly adds a design element to your garden whilst you experience the joy of growing your own fresh produce. Plus, it’s a big tick for sustainable living. Imagine stepping into your backyard to harvest veggies for the BBQ, salad leaves and herbs for seasoning, all grown on your doorstep!

6. Cook up an outdoor kitchen – Designing a dining area

An outdoor kitchen is a match made in heaven for the fresh veggies from your garden. When researching backyard patio furniture ideas, think about how many guests you’d like to seat and whether you’ll opt for a natural material like wood (a classic look that may need re-oiling and maintenance) or a practical and modern metal frame. Landscaped borders form a natural privacy screen between the dining space and the rest of the yard. Seize the Australian summer — host an Aussie backyard BBQ or throw down a colourful rug to picnic on the lawn.

7. Add structure and shade with a pergola

Stay sun safe with a pergola, or for small backyard furniture ideas, a boho-chic umbrella. Position your sunshade over seating areas for welcome relief whilst enjoying lunch.

8. Use what you already have

You don’t need to start from scratch when designing the backyard of your dreams. Simple backyard patio furniture ideas like turning an already shady nook into a bistro seating area or buying funky cushions to style up your existing bench are quick, low-cost ways to get started with accessories.

9. Garland trees with lights

The warm glow of lights makes for an inviting al fresco dining space. ‘Wow’ guests with your luxurious backyard and make the most of long summer nights. If your garden includes a water feature or sculpture, ground lighting or spotlights will highlight the design element after dark.

10. Draw the eye up with hanging flowers

Imagine stepping into a garden blooming with bright, colourful flowers and scents of blossom. Flowers are a great way to cover up harsh or out-of-place objects – hang them from fences or grow them up walls. The bees and butterflies will love you too!
