Hardwood garden furniture in 2025 is embracing a blend of sustainability, comfort, and versatility, reflecting broader lifestyle and environmental trends. The new furniture is sustainable, comfortable and versatile. Find out more about the latest trends.
From forest plantations to English gardens
This season there is a strong emphasis on choosing eco-friendly materials when purchasing new garden furniture. Hardwoods like teak, acacia, roble and FSC-certified timbers are favoured for their durability and minimal environmental impact. These woods not only withstand the elements but also age gracefully, often developing a desirable patina over time.
Natural colours blend indoors and out
The line between indoor and outdoor spaces continues to blur. Garden furniture now mirrors indoor aesthetics, featuring plush cushions, modular designs, and neutral colour palettes. This trend creates seamless transitions between home interiors and garden areas, enhancing our overall living experience.
It also appears that flexibility is key. Modular furniture pieces, such as sectional sofas and adjustable tables, allow us to customise our outdoor spaces for various activities, from lounging to dining.
Colour schemes are shifting towards earthy and neutral tones, including shades of grey, beige, and muted greens. These colours not only complement natural surroundings but also help to reduce heat absorption, making furniture more comfortable on sunny days.
Firepits and storage
Storage solutions and built-in firepits extend the usability of outdoor spaces into cooler months and provide practical benefits without compromising on style. These trends reflect a growing desire to extend the time we spend in nature and boost personal wellbeing.
The natural beauty of wood
If you really want to connect with nature, Alexander Rose has long set the standard for premium hardwood garden furniture. Our timbers are responsibly sourced from certified plantations in Bolivia and Vietnam which our designers have masterfully shaped into ergonomic forms that feel as good as they look. Every curve and joint is a testament to decades of experience and a deep respect for natural materials.
Our long-lasting designs ensure every piece is an investment in both luxury and longevity
Our head office is based in Sussex, amid the rolling south downs where the vineyards produce the very best English wines. It was here that Bolney was created, a collection with contemporary finesse and just a hint of rustic charm.
The Bolney Collection is perfect for those seeking a traditional aesthetic with modern resilience. Crafted from rich acacia hardwood, its warm tones and gently arched slats make it a timeless favourite for English garden enthusiasts.
Bolney is built for leisurely lunches beneath the trees and golden-hour glasses of wine—true countryside sophistication that ages beautifully with each season.
Very different but perfectly formed is Dana. Inspired by minimalist Nordic design, the Dana Collection brings indoor elegance to the great outdoors. With its clean lines, low-profile frames, and generously cushioned seats, Dana is designed for modular lounging and fluid living.
It pairs perfectly with the growing trend for indoor-outdoor furniture offering neutral tones and a soft silhouette that harmonises with nature. Its contemporary design is made for modern lifestyles.
This article wouldn’t be complete without Roble, a striking hardwood from the plantations of Bolivia. A robust wood which is naturally resistant to the elements and a luxurious build quality. The Roble Collection is a classic, and for purists who appreciate honest craftsmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Sculptural simplicity
Effortlessly stylish, the Sorrento Collection embraces sculptural minimalism, a leading design direction for 2025. With bold proportions and integrated features—like hidden recline mechanisms and wide armrests—Sorrento transforms your terrace into a high-end retreat.
Crafted from sustainable teak and finished with textured cushions in muted greys and taupe, this collection reflects the trend for earthy palettes and adaptable furniture that works any time, any place.
What sets us apart? Could it be 30 years of experience and design excellence?
What sets Alexander Rose apart isn’t just the stunning aesthetics or the premium materials—it’s the legacy. With over three decades in the outdoor furniture industry, the brand continues to innovate while honouring the timeless art of furniture-making.
Whether it’s precision engineering for durability or custom upholstery that resists fading and wear, every detail is a testament to our deep understanding of how we live and unwind outdoors.
