It's never too early to plan for patio season, and with that, we are always on the lookout for inspirational images to put on our mood boards.

The latest comes from Sharon Stone, whose combination of rattan and wrought-iron outdoor furniture delightfully evokes shades of the eternally popular cottagecore aesthetic.

Design experts say that part of the appeal of iron and woven furniture is that it possesses a vintage feel, whether it's new or truly secondhand.

'Sharon Stone’s outdoor styling is a masterclass in combining comfort with enduring style. The mix of rattan and wrought iron feels both inviting and sophisticated,' comments Hebe Hatton, the head of interior design at Homes & Gardens.

'Textured, warm pieces work beautifully alongside sculptural, durable tables. It’s a reminder that thoughtful material choices can make a patio feel timeless while still embracing seasonal trends like cottagecore. I'm dreaming of summer already.'

To recreate the look, we love this woven bench from Target, which is designed by Studio McGee and is only $350. For the wrought iron pieces, this white al fresco table from Anthropologie could easily be mistaken for a true vintage piece, while this hand-forged Juliet chair from Olive Ateliers is simply gorgeous and so versatile in an outdoor cottagecore-inspired design scheme.

Regardless of your picks, Sharon is certainly proving a strong point: that mixing natural materials with iron is a fantastic way to make a patio feel trend-forward and dynamic.
