While we’re all waiting for summer to get here so we can take some much-deserved vacation, Zara Home has us covered. It’s one of my favorite affordable home retailers for fashion-forward pieces that are always on top of the latest interior design trends. And their new outdoor collection is all about that hot, relaxed, effortless European aesthetic – so you can recreate that style everyone wants no matter where you are.
Almost all of the pieces have an element of natural wood tones to them, and most of the furniture is foldable, which means these pieces are portable and can be placed away carefully when the seasons change. Similarly, the dining pieces are really characterful, and instantly make me think of European flea markets. This cohesion in the line means you can mix and match easily, so styling your outdoor patio becomes a simple process.
Made of textured mesh metal, this bench has multiple compartments in order to store everything from shoes and towels to decorative elements, providing ease for your guests this summer.
The intricate woven seat and neutral materials on this bench provide a sense of calm, allowing it to work as both seating as well as extra table space.
This simple folding table has a stainless steel base and three interlocking legs that position it into place perfectly, adding more support in inclement weather.
Show off your summer blooms in full display with this metallic flower pot that feels just like a gorgeous European ceramic piece. It’s simple, yet statement-making.
This enameled stoneware collection will let your guests feel like they’ve just stepped off a boat on a Greek island, thanks to its irregular finish and earthy construction.
This resin-coated tablecloth is waterproof, so it’s great for those outdoor soireés when things might get just a little wet. The subtle floral print adds a pop.
Serve all your favorite drinks poolside with a wooden tray that’s foldable for easy transport. The white metal legs add a touch of modern glam.
This portable rattan chair has a very cafe-core feel, very chic and the fact you can easily store it and move it is just a bonus. The woven seat contrasts wonderfully with the ash wood back.
Don’t let the simple round silhouette on this serving tray fool you: The delicate rattan detailing and curved handles make a huge statement without being overwhelming.
Zara Home’s spring outdoor collection gives us a playful, elegant twist on modern European style, with neutral tones and delicate detailing. All the furniture is durable and foldable, while the decorative elements bring about a bright, rustic feel that’s sure to make a statement all summer long. Host your guests with these airy pieces, and watch the compliments fly.
