Kendall Jenner’s Porch Is the Only Outdoor Space Stunning Enough to Make Me Forward-Plan for Summer – Its Natural Materials Are Truly Trend-Defying
Combining a wood bench with soft, warm lighting, Kendall's Montecito ranch porch is the blueprint for the modern rustic aesthetic
For those of us who live in colder climates, patio furniture may be a distant thought; however, after seeing Kendall Jenner's Montecito ranch porch, we are inclined to start considering ideas for the spring/summer 2026 season.
Her simple garden patio idea includes warm lighting from sconces, as well as an elegant yet rustic wood bench, adorned beautifully with cream cushions.

Wood is a truly timeless material to use for outdoor furniture, but insiders say that this coming year, it will be on the rise even more than it usually is.
'Organic materials like wood and steel will dominate the field of outdoor furniture design,' says Bo Hellberg, CMO at String Furniture and Grythyttan. 'The use of natural wood, oak, pine, or teak, oiled or untreated, brings warmth and character to spaces, while steel adds a modern edge, offering durability and a sleek aesthetic that complements the contemporary design.'
To recreate this look, look for durable and simple wood finishes. I love this armchair from Martha Stewart's Wayfair collection, which, similarly to Kendall's bench, features a woodgrain finish and cream cushion.
Alternatively, this wicker bench from Target provides some texture and a steel frame, tapping into Bo's trend prediction. Round it out with an organic wood dining table (if your space allows for one), and you have an effortlessly chic and rustic patio that will last for years to come.
