Hooray! Summer has finally arrived! Now it is time to get outdoors and enjoy your garden. If you are eager to integrate modern styling and design into your garden, however small or big it is, there are lots of strategies to achieve this and a good deal of products that may help create a fresh appearance. Below are my top picks of modern garden thoughts. — Rachel out of Fresh Design Blog
David Harber
The Torus
This wonderful piece of modern sculpture by David Harper naturally brings the eye in. The light and reflections from the polished stainless steel create lovely effects in the garden.
John Lewis
Farmer’s Cottage Rotating Sphere Seater – GBP 7,599
I love the appearance of this backyard shredder! You can sit indoors in sunlight or shade and rotate it to get another perspective.

Kanpazar 150cm Garden Light – GBP 690
These are perfect for helping light up a pathway at nighttime. The design is inspired by a pine tree.
John Lewis
Purchase Barlow Tyrie Dune Day Bed – GBP 2,805
Oh, if I only had space for it! This seems wonderfully comfy for relaxing around the patio.
Abode Interiors
Garden Rattan Love Sofa Natural – GBP 499.99
What’s not to enjoy about a love couch? It is adorable and comfy, and it has a multipositional canopy to shield you from sunlight, wind or prying eyes.
Garden Beet
Metal Trellis – GBP 36
This metallic honeycomb trellis is excellent for making a modern look on a wall with climbing plants. It is modular, so that you can create your own pattern.
GardenSite
Apollo Pergola – GBP 519.99
I love the domed design of this modern pergola, for so often they’re only square. You can develop a climbing rose, honeysuckle or clematis up the structure, or keep it bare to enjoy the timber.
Furniture Village
The Apple Daybed Pod
Does not this seem like a super way to get comfy in the garden? The Apple Daybed Pod includes closely cushions (one for the base and five scatter cushions) and is the best place to unwind and get protection from sunlight.
GardenSite
Stainless Steel Sheet Fountain Water Feature – GBP 199.49
This looks like a great water feature to get a modern garden. It is made from a sheet of stainless steel and comes supplied with low-voltage lighting.
Bouf
Strange Fruit from James Lethbridge Glass – $517.70
This unusual art installation for your garden is — would you believe it? — produced from glass. The stems blend in beautifully one of a border of flowers and plants, plus they glimmer and shine as they catch the light. It is a definite feature and talking point for a modern garden!
Shoots & Roots
Black Floral Aluminium Stool – GBP 120
I love the notion of this furniture. It is practical as a garden seating solution, and the intricate floral design looks stunning too.
Contemporary Tiki Torches – GBP 29.95
This is a nice contemporary-style garden flashlight. It is perfect for barbecues and very apt for the year.
David Harber
Three Tiered Chalice Water Feature
This impressive chalice-style water feature for the garden gives the impression that the bowls rotate whenever they are actually static.
House of Fraser
Oceans Outdoor Atlantic Daybed – GBP 2,099
This looks like a fabulous daybed! I love the tent/tepee style of it.
Bouf
Succulent Steel – GBP 1,395
Iron Vein is famous for designing striking metal garden sculptures, and this metal succulent is no exclusion. I especially enjoy the fact that every leaf is a separate part, and that means you can layout and style your agave plant from your garden as you wish.
Go Modern Furniture
Cube Garden Coffee Table – GBP 400
This is a lovely contemporary coffee table for your garden. It has got a glass high, but you can fill the pit beneath with pebbles, shells or glass nuggets.
Garden XL
Leisuregrow Torino Curved Bench Furniture Place – GBP 1,899
I really like the curved effect of this garden furniture set. The pieces fit together into a circle when not being used.

This looks like a sleek and stylish modern fire pit.
