Michael Douglas's '50s Childhood Pool Proves This Simple Outdoor Furniture Trend Will Never Fade – It's Perfect for Creating A Tranquil Retreat

Though interior design trends evolve relatively quickly, what's popular in outdoor furniture remains much more constant. For instance, images of Michael Douglas as a child with his father Kirk Douglas at their pool from 1955 could have been taken today, if they weren't in black and white.

As nostalgia overtakes outdoor furniture trends, we're looking to the past to source ideas that are timeless; that look in style no matter the year. The white loungers and armchairs at Michael Douglas's childhood home are the perfect example. Visible between his family's mid-century style home and stylishly rounded swimming pool, they create a striking contrast against the carefully manicured grass. Well chosen poolside plants lean against the house, emphasizing the beautiful brightness of the furniture.
