If you thought 'concrete' and 'chic' were antonyms, it might be time to reconsider. We've caught a glimpse of Kris Jenner's Hidden Hills patio, and it shows how the unexpected material can be used to create an incredibly stylish backyard.

After purchasing the Los Angeles property in 2010, Kris worked with designers Waldo Fernandez and Tommy Clements to transform the Tuscan-style property into a bold, modern masterpiece where every detail feels considered – including the back patio.

In the midst of California-appropriate greenery, Kris uses two concrete chairs (we found the exact match here at 1stDibs) and a concrete coffee table to anchor the space. Though it sounds like it could look too monochromatic, the finished product is elegant and welcoming.

Homes & Gardens spoke with designers to get to the bottom of why Kris's outdoor furniture looks so good, and how we can recreate the look in our own backyards. We also curated an edit of our favorite concrete pieces for replicating the style. Let's begin with a peek into the socialite's home.

According to the experts, part of what makes concrete outdoor furniture beautiful is the juxtaposition of hardness and softness. We see this in Kris's backyard with the beautiful curved chairs. 'These concrete pieces have clean lines of a modern piece but with a pretty patina that gives them a nice finish,' explains landscape designer Andrea Scharff.

These outdoor chairs also offer an aesthetic of practicality, which feels instantly cool and laid-back. Andrea advises: 'The beauty of these pieces lies in the fact that they are hardy and durable. They don’t require much maintenance, withstand the elements, and look polished and great. They are straightforward and not fussy.'

Overall, this attention to detail from subtle curves, patina, and intentional design taps into the biggest outdoor design trends we're seeing this year. If you like Kris Jenner's backyard, now is a great time to invest in concrete pieces.

Kayli Rowsell, Design Manager at Arteriors, explains: 'This year, outdoor furnishing is all about blurring the lines between indoor comfort and outdoor resilience. We’re seeing a shift towards pieces that feel as purposeful and refined as interior furniture ones, but which are engineered for weather and longevity. Layered seating arrangements, modular designs that adapt to changing needs, and sculptural silhouettes with utility at their core are gaining real traction. Comfort-led design is steering the conversation, dominated by spaces that feel curated rather than staged.'
