Neutrals will never go out of style. Though we've long lauded the beauty of a beige living room, the power of using neutral colors outdoors is much more underrated. Khloé Kardashian shows exactly how chic it can look with her black, white, and beige poolside furniture.
The media personality's patio furniture idea was sourced for her former Calabasas Mediterranean-style mansion by her acclaimed interior designer, Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Martyn has been responsible for some of America's most iconic celebrity homes, decorating for clients from Kylie Jenner to Cher, Elton John, and Winnie Harlow.
Though his style is best known for opulent boldness, the outdoor living room is a display of perfect restraint. White sofas, black and white cushions, and a sandstone table give the feeling of floating on a Greek island next to the lagoon-like pool.
To explore her look, here's a sneak peek into Khloé Kardashian's pool idea. I've also compiled an edit of products for recreating her outdoor design, and gathered expert commentary on why the colors work and how to design with them. The sleek, minimalist scheme is easier to recreate than you might think.
Recreate Khloé Kardashian's Look at Home
This classic, cream porch swing features a canopy for added shade and comfort, while the black metal poles contrast the soft cushion seat.
These simple yet chic outdoor throw pillows are made of durable polyester fabric and soft PP cotton. This means they're water repellent and won’t fade under the direct sunlight for over 500 hours. I also love how they're auto-locking zipper closure for a tailored look
Cast from a tree root, this outdoor coffee table embraces the distinct grooves and imperfections of raw wood and has been finished in a matte white glaze for a coastal look. It's a fantastic option to get the organic feel of Khloé's look.
This bowl planter is timeless. With a shallow depth (measuring 6.3x19x19 inches) it's an ideal vessel for shallow-rooted succulents. It has drainage holes for excess water to drain away.
Drape this cozy throw over an outdoor sofa or armchair for a touch of serene white that brightens any dark corner and beckons you to sink in and unwind. It's perfect for late nights out by the pool.
This beautiful, verdant ivy plant would be the perfect complement to a wild garden. It looks gorgeous climbing on a Mediterranean-style pool patio.
Though maximalism is having its moment in the interiors space, Khloe's pared-back design is much more in line with this year's outdoor furniture trends.
Design expert Shelley Cochrane explains: 'Minimalism and neutral hues are defining the garden furniture trends of 2026. This is a natural evolution of our growing desire for calm spaces that evoke a connection to nature.'
This tranquil sensibility can be evoked with a range of earthy hues. Shelley advises: 'Neutral tones – think soft grays, warm beiges, and muted greens – offer a timeless elegance that allows the beauty of the garden itself to take center stage. The furniture complements, rather than competes with the landscape.' Khloé Kardashian's patio follows this formula with the slight deviation of black stripes on the pillows to add contrast and drama. It shows that starting with a neutral base and imposing a splash of darkness works every time.
In addition to the pared-back color palette, Martyn Lawrence Bullard evokes Mediterranean calm in Khloe's pool area with simple shapes. A round coffee table and a simply arched sofa transport us throughout the space. Shelley explains: 'Minimalist design, with its clean lines and pared-back forms, creates a sense of visual serenity. Outdoor spaces have become our sanctuary, and a minimalist garden design supports that feeling of peace. It’s all about creating spaces that feel open, grounded, and effortlessly stylish. This trend isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about fostering a feeling of tranquillity through considered, uncluttered design.'
An outdoor color palette is just as significant as the one we choose for inside our home. With the right hues, our gardens become escapes from the busy outside world.
