Wooden garden furniture may appear the obvious choice – safe, reliable, maybe too expected. But the same material with which pencils are produced also builds houses. So if you are looking for something permanent, timeless and beautiful, a wooden garden stool is hardly a stretch – and one of the most intelligent design bets that you can make.
“When it comes to garden furniture, designs in wood remain a timeless and luxurious choice and bring an unsurpassed, natural beauty, versatility and comfort,” says Reilly Gray, co -founder of Sun's Lifestyle.
That means not all wooden garden furniture is the same. Some lean country veranda in the Cotswolds-Anders now feel refreshing and meet all outdoor furniture trends for 2025: integration, modularity and clean silhouettes.
This processing focuses on the latter, with forests that actually holds: some are just pretty, others get better with age (we broke them in the questions and answers below).
Quality does not have to mean old -fashioned, and modern does not rule out charm. These pieces have both – sculptural teak benches, foldable chairs, compact tables – each checked by them for style, reviews and a solid call as a garden furniture brand.
Name your keyword to branch yourself – and back into the classics.
Wooden garden chairs
Normal man Copenhagen
Vig Outdoor Essreser
Wood: Robinia
Have you ever heard of Robinia? Also known as a black grasshopper, it is a uniquely shortened wood that is valued for its strength and natural resistance to putrefaction. Strong and slightly unusual? The Aquarius in me is happy. The black frame in the Scandi style (which stacks wonderfully, if you want more than one) does not hurt either.
Wood: Jaw
Full disclosure: If you want a chair, you can leave it all year round, then this is not the case. Made from Kiefer-Was, as you will see in questions and answers, not as weatherproof as teak or acacia-this is better suited for shady terraces or fair-weather entertainment. That means it is chic, generously padded (four-way comfort!) And worth the small maintenance. Bonus: The frame is also delivered in natural wooden tones.
John Lewis
Stool of the coast garden medium unit
Wood: eucalyptus
I am not the one who is committed to impulse purchases, but if there is ever a case: this John Lewis chair from the aptly named “Coast” collection has a perfect 5-star rating and the kind of air tiger, on the beach that is difficult to fake. The armless frame and the sandy grain give it an effortless look; The cream cushions seal the deal. Buy two for a Loveseat moment or three to expand a full modular sofa.
Wooden garden table
N -ter degree
N2 coffee table dark teak
Wood: teak
Wood Plus (literally insert everything else) quickly becomes a mixture for increased outdoor spaces. Only a few do it better than n-ten degree example: your N2 coffee, which combines dark tows with a woven, rattan adjacent accent, which feels slim, reduced and clearly modern. A strong look at a surprisingly decent price – even available in a lighter laundry.
HAY
Kiste outdoor furniture side table
Wood: Lacquered water -based pine wood
It is surprisingly difficult to find wooden garden furniture that does not come in Woods usual beige and browns. Not that I complain -these warm, natural tones are half of the charm -but if you want to inject your setup a little color, these hay -side tables are ideal. You are a relaunch of the legendary box collection, which was originally designed in 1984 by the Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld. Iron Red is depicted here, although the Taupe Adjazent 'London Nebel' almost had me.
Ashome
Rennie Oval Dining Table 6 session
Wood: acacia
One could assume that a wood outdoors will be strapped to this price after the first rain – and in most cases I would agree. But this is made of acacia (one of the “good” forests – see the question and answer downwards). The base of the base in the base style is much larger than the price, which the generous tabletop seats six comfortably place.
Wooden garden soft
Soho home
Marcia Outdoor sofa
Wood: Fantasy
If you feel like a splendor, seldom misses home. This wooden garden sofa brings a private sensitivity of the outdoor members outdoors with a frame carved out of Iroko- a red and insect-resistant hardwood, which is sometimes used instead of teak. And in contrast to most outdoor sofas that adhere to beige, black or cream, this has a rare geometric padding that looks only tailor-made, but is still safe for outdoor use.

Marotta 2-seater garden soft
Wood: acacia
Make yourself comfortable on this two -seater wooden sofa by John Lewis. The hardly existing open-frame base gives it an airy silhouette and offers an almost optical deception-especially if it is paired with the plush cushion (as it should be). If I hadn't seen the price, I would have guessed twice as much. Grab you while – maybe two – a powerful outdoor pad pillow if you long for a bit of color.
MADE
Gray stripes -avarna garden softa
Wood: acacia
Stripes may be neutral in our book, but that does not mean that we do not notice if they are missing. I have persistent to find in the world of wooden garden furniture – and this seat proves that it was worth it. It feels for a modern Country Club setup: preferably with a classic garden parasol and maybe an outdoors to hold a very cold drink.
Teak garden furniture
Vincent Sheppard
Frida Garden Lounge Chair
Wood: teak
This garden chair designed by Vincent Sheppard is a strong box for teak das luxury wood, which it is-and combines it with slim onyx-black rope. The result is both harmonious and artistic, while they feel elementary at the same time. It feels perfect at home outdoors. Inside? It would not be out of place either.
4 seasons
Prado -Essentisch outdoors
Wood: teak
If you work with teaks, you don't need a frills. It is the calm luxury of Woods-Weniger is more and the beauty is already baked. That is why these sculptural 4-year times outdoors work so well: a strong intersection, circular design and an invitation to collect yourself, face to face. Here all of their best kitten will develop outdoors.
Pipe line
Sticks outdoors
Wood: teak
Multi-purpose design is one of the biggest trends of 2025, and this clever teak-bench knocks directly into and built-in planters flank on both sides. Regardless of whether you choose the subsequent ivy, bright flowers or statement succulents, they are furniture with which you can really sit and smell the roses.
Faqs
Can you leave wooden garden furniture outside the year all year round?
Technically speaking – as long as you have selected the right type of wood (more on this below). But even the best pieces need a little protection. Reilly Gray of Sun's lifestyle finds that most hardwood or soft wood designs benefit from cover or winter storage-with the exception of teaks, a splurgid option that is known for its natural resistance (see below for its complete superpowers).
Do you want to be particularly careful? “The best option is to save it inside,” he advises. “While outdoor furniture is extremely durable, it is not indestructible, and extreme heat, cold or excessive rain can damage the wood.”
In short: know your climate and act accordingly.
Which types of wood are best suited for outdoor furniture?
“From the point of view of durability, teaks, IPE and eucalyptus are usually the top choice for outdoor furniture, with teak being leading,” says Reilly.
And while teaks are at the more expensive ending, it deserves its reputation: “The dense grain and high natural oil content offers a level of resistance that is unsurpassed by another wood,” he adds. It looks better over time, weathered to a silver gray or when the golden shine stays with occasional oils.
On the better list? “We would always recommend that we would avoid soft, porous or untreated forests such as fir, untreated pine or zedar for long -term use outdoors. These tend to degrade faster if they are exposed to moisture and require much more care and maintenance,” explains Reilly.
That is, the key word here is untreated – Some soft woods can keep well enough during treatment and make a clever budget selection. Simply read the specifications carefully to know what you really buy.
Which wooden furniture styles for wooden garden are trendy for 2025?
What is in your living room moves outside. This year is all about modularity, multifunctionality and designs that shift with your needs-think about organizing friends at night and hanging in the next solo.
“Expect more lounge sets with a low profile with integrated side tables and modular seats that can be configured for various layouts,” says Reilly Gray. It is a relaxed, luxurious approach to life outdoors and one who feels more like an open-air extension of the house.
