I’m seeing pastel garden furniture at all my favourite brands this spring, but QVC’s sorbet collection impressed me the most

Pastel garden furniture is everywhere right now, and QVC’s Sobert Collection is a stellar example of how to nail the trend.

Of this year’s latest garden trends, pastel garden furniture is a bright and lively way to refresh your garden space. Releasing in four sumptuous shades - mint, lemon, lavender and pink - QVC’s ice-cream inspired furniture pieces will give your patio ideas the dopamine hit they deserve.

From classic egg chairs to parasols, these are my top picks - and how you can style this joyous trend at home.

Why is pastel garden furniture trend?

From making waves on the catwalk to pastel kitchens dominating the interiors world, pastels are making their mark right now. Opting for light, fresh colours is an easy way to inject youthfulness into a space and within your garden, pastels can brighten the most overcast of days. QVC, on this occasion, has come through as one of the best places to buy garden furniture with that pastel flair.

‘Pastel garden furniture is having a real moment because it brings a soft, joyful charm to outdoor spaces, it's playful without being overpowering. We’re drawn to these colours because they evoke a sense of calm and nostalgia, and they pair beautifully with greenery and florals in the garden,’ says Lucy Ferguson, founder of East London Parasol Co.

‘Think powder blue benches next to lavender, or blush pink chairs under a wisteria-draped pergola. Pastels are incredibly versatile; you can go all-in for a whimsical, romantic look or mix them with natural textures like rattan and wood for something more grounded.’

Pastel garden furniture is more versatile than you might think. It can feel daunting to work with colour but the soft tone of pastel sades mean they will blur into your garden layout. The colours also compliant your flower beds - especially pastel coloured peonies, hydrangeas and roses.

‘You can style pastel pieces with crisp white cushions for a clean, coastal feel, or layer with patterned textiles, lanterns, and vintage pots for a more eclectic look, so whatever the style of your garden, there is a pastel hue to suit,’ says Lena Gierasinska, Head of Product & Displays at Barker and Stonehouse.

‘If you naturally shy away from colour and lean towards neutral hues, a bistro set in muted sage is a great way to incorporate this trend on a smaller scale.

Pastel garden furniture offers an effortless way to inject personality into your outdoor living area. As for longevity, we see pastels continuing to evolve with changing tastes. While bold or neon colours can date quickly, pastels are soft and muted enough to remain timeless with the right styling.’
