We’re taking these interior trends outdoors

Our 2026 Outdoor Trend Watch takes a closer look at the changing landscape.

Our outdoor spaces are the backdrop to the best parts of summer: barbecues, sprinkler runs, sparklers, you name it. And now that the last traces of winter are good and gone, I’m more than ready to put mine to use. If our 2026 Outdoor Trend Watch is any indication, the outdoors are the new indoors. This edition delves into three buzzy interior furniture trends making the jump from inside to out. Also ahead: the moment of zen we all deserve in our backyards and this season’s reinvention of a cabin classic.

Catch you out there,
