In her recent years as a furniture designer, Martha Stewart has given us hundreds of beautiful yet durable products to upgrade our interiors and gardens – the latter of which is at the forefront of our minds this springtime.
Part of my job involves familiarizing myself with the best pieces from Martha Stewart's collections, and this was precisely what I did this afternoon – browsing everything from her pieces on Wayfair to her Amazon storefront. After hours of scrolling, I found the one piece you need to know about this spring/summer, and it happens to be hidden deep on Wayfair.
Martha Stewart's Bedford All-Weather Patio Armchair (available at Wayfair) epitomizes everything you know and love about the collection. Inspired by her iconic Bedford home, the jewel of Martha Stewart's property portfolio, it's simple yet oh-so sophisticated, and designed to withstand all weather conditions.
Opting for classic wooden materials and neutral hues is often one of the best choices when shopping for outdoor furniture, and this piece embodies this ideology perfectly.
Masterfully crafted with a durable, rustproof aluminum frame in a hand-brushed woodgrain finish, this chair lends elegance to any porch or terrace. It's designed to last through all weathers and is easily stackable – perfect if you're working with a particularly small space. It comes with a thick seat cushion that is pefect for enjoying your morning coffee every day this summer.
The only thing better than this chair is a pair of them, and, even better yet, this duo is currently on sale.
The best things come in pairs. Elevate your indoor-outdoor sanctuary further with the set of two Bedford Patio Chairs. This set offers everything I love about the original chair, but its greatness is doubled... without a huge price increase. This pair is easily stackable (up to eight chairs high), so you can continue space-saving storage when you're not relaxing or hosting on your patio.
Martha's wooden chairs transcend garden trends, tapping into aesthetics that have already endured through the years, including the ever-popular quiet luxury look.
'Garden furniture made from rattan or wood lends itself quite nicely to the quiet luxury aesthetic because of its neutral colour palette and organic textures,' comments Sue Jones, the creative director and co-founder at OKA.
'If you’re upgrading your patio area for the season ahead, I’d recommend choosing a few key pieces that add a statement design element – think a sculptural table as the centrepiece, or chairs with a stylish, statement weave.'
Another great thing about these chairs is how their versatile colorway serves as the perfect base for accessories. As Sue explains, you can pair them alongside most vibrant patterned pieces, including rugs and cushions. I've listed some of my favorites for summer 2025 below.
'When creating a spot to enjoy the warmer months, I like to bring all the colour, comfort, and character that I enjoy indoors, outdoors. So, I always like to add soft furnishings like showerproof cushions, outdoor rugs, and patterned tableware to put a unique stamp on the space,' she says.
'These make for a really inviting look and give extra comfort that's essential for long afternoons in the sun. For a tranquil feel, I’d choose calming blue tones that pair nicely with surrounding greenery, while zingy orange evokes charm and personality.'
Refresh old outdoor seating with some new cushions from the collection. Shea has designed many new prints, but this caramel-colored gingham lumbar pillow with a scalloped edge takes the cake.
The Lulu and Georgia outdoor collection features a range designed by Sarah Sherman Samuel, which includes the stand-out Lovett rug. A cut above the rest, this deep rust hue is accessorized with abstract sketch designs and made from robust outdoor fibers.
Pottery Barn's outdoor offering has loads of lovely mix-and-match pillows, including this Suzani-inspired outdoor-friendly pillow. The neutral background will allow you to layer in plenty of other prints and hues without overwhelming your senses.
