We're calling it now, this summer will once again be all about the egg chair. The desirable design may have been firmly in the spotlight over the last few years, but they're well and truly here to stay.
Why? "Because they’re an easy way to make a style statement with your garden furniture while still keeping comfort high on your list of priorities," says Laura Honey, w&h's homes ecommerce editor. "The shape makes for a perfect cocoon, cleverly placed, it’s a reading nook, relaxing spot, and a serene place to snooze."
They’re worth investing in because egg chairs absolutely fall into the category of aspirational outdoor furniture that will prove to be a timeless buy – even more so when you find high-end quality at affordable prices.
Eggs chairs have become a staple in gardens rather than a trend these days. This double-hanging design is more of a contemporary spin on the traditional swing chair. Imagine sitting in this generously sized chair while enjoying a very gentle rocking motion.
"They’ve always been associated with a resort-style aesthetic and, increasingly, that’s what people want from their gardens too." While you can find 'deals', there's nothing more reassuring than finding good quality at affordable prices, to ensure your investment lasts the long haul.
The elevated swing-style element makes them incredibly calming and soothing. This chic design comes complete with a hearty seat cushion and head pillow for added comfort.
This foldable hanging chair is your ticket to ultimate relaxation and style in the garden. Seen here in a natural colourway with an on-trend charcoal cushion, it's as chic as it is comfortable.
While the egg chair remains supreme, for me, any piece of furniture that offers a gentle, free-flowing motion to soothe you is a winning design for relaxing in the garden.
And with searches already on the rise, up 233% year-on-year, for garden rocking chairs, we predict this comfy alternative is set to become another best-selling buy this summer.
While there will always be a huge demand for swinging egg seats, this new trend is appearing for outdoor rockers to rival the undisputed champion of garden 'it' chairs. Perfectly compact, irresistibly comfortable, you can see why these chic garden rocking chairs are already gaining so much attention...
Don't you instantly feel like sitting back to spend a few hours gently rocking in the breeze while the garden hums around you – utter bliss.
The sumptuous comfy cushion is what makes this garden chair so irresistibly inviting and then of course, there's the added appeal of being gently rocked.
The same relaxing appeal with the on-trend aesthetic of a brooding black finish to suit even the most contemporary of garden schemes.
Whether you prefer an egg chair or a garden rocker, it's safe to say both designs provide a divine way to relax in the garden this summer.
