If you're like us, you dream of escaping to a European capital over the summer, where cafe culture is a way of life. While not all of us are making the trip overseas, that's not to say that we can't recreate the ambiance in our own backyards, and we have found the perfect piece.
When pondering backyard staycation ideas, we stumbled upon this gorgeous, patterned Martha Stewart dining chair at Wayfair. At only $180, this seat has a luxe feel, with a woven rattan, blue and white seat, and a durable, rustproof aluminum frame.
Finding a combination of practical and luxurious furnishings is what we live for, and all the better if it's trend-forward (spoiler: it is very much in for summer 2025).
The blue and white, woven rattan material and durable legs make this stackable patio seat a must-have for summer dining.
Why have one when you can have two? This durable set features a rustproof aluminum frame, a wood-grain finish, and, most notably, a woven rattan pattern. We would introduce them in your dining zone around a beautifully decorated tablescape.
According to experts, patterned furniture's chic design has an inherently vacation-worthy feel, reminiscent of sunny destinations. They also happen to be extremely pragmatic.
'Patterned outdoor furniture can really boost the look and feel of your outdoor space,' says Hamptons-based interior designer Allison Babcock.
'The designs not only add a fun and unique touch but also do a great job of hiding dirt and stains, which is super important as it needs to be able to withstand the elements and any company you have over.'
Of course, if your patio furniture does get stained and you want to keep it clean, a simple soap and water mix usually will do the trick to have it looking fresh, especially when white is included.
Allison also notes that there are tons of possibilities with patterned furniture and encourages you to play around with a print that feels true to your personal style.
'Whether you go for bold stripes or delicate floral patterns, these pieces add charm and character, making your outdoor living area more cozy and inviting,' she explains. 'They blend beautifully with the natural surroundings and create a great place to hang out with friends and family. Patterned furniture brings together beauty, practicality, and versatility, making it a perfect pick for elevating your outdoor living areas.'
One final tip? Try mixing and matching different patterns and colors for a more eclectic mix, or keep things uniform with a set of matching seats for a cohesive look. Then enjoy your morning coffee or evening aperitif just as you would on faraway shores.
