8 Patio and Porch Trends for 2024, According to Designers

The New Year is officially upon us, and while most of us don’t focus on sprucing up our patios and porches until the early spring, interior designers already have their thumb on the pulse of this year’s biggest outdoor decor trends. Here are eight patio and porch trends to watch out for in 2024, according to design experts.

We’ve seen a shift away from all-neutral-everything in interiors for a few years now, and designers agree that we can expect to see the same in outdoor living spaces in 2024. Think bright, bold colors and playful patterns.

“Your outdoor setup is a low-stakes place to play with pattern—try it by mixing florals, stripes, and bold hues for that perfectly throw-together look,” says Heather Goerzen, design director at Havenly. 

Rather than replacing all of your existing patio/porch furniture and decor, Goerzen recommends bringing in color and pattern using easy-to-change textiles like pillows and throw blankets. This will give you the space and opportunity to play around with how colors and patterns look together in an affordable and low-commitment way.

Across the board, nearly all of the design experts we spoke to agreed that they expect the biggest trend of 2024 will be seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces—essentially, making the patio or porch feel like a natural extension of the home’s interior. This involves making design choices like matching the flooring inside the house to the porch or patio flooring materials, choosing matching furniture and decor, sticking to the same color palette, and more.

“Materials like stone, wood, and tile are increasingly common choices for porch floors and walls that match the aesthetic inside,” says Keely Smith, lead
