7 Trendy Outdoor Egg Chair Styles You Need to Try This Year

Swinging in egg chairs outdoor is one of the comfiest, coziest ways to enjoy patio living. And like every piece of outdoor furniture you're considering investing in, knowing the right styles for your space takes your relaxation from meh to YOWZA!

I can still remember a few years ago when a neighbor of mine bought their first egg chiar. He chose one online that was easy on his wallet and looked cool—without even sitting in it. It wobbled like a drunk flamingo, the cushion felt like a damp pancake, and it wasn't even months before the frame rusted like a forgotten bike in a rainstorm.

We live, we learn, right? As part of the Patio Productions team, we've learned exactly what makes an outdoor egg chair worth your money while staying sylish. For a deeper dive on every aspect of buying your perfect egg chair, please read our Hanging Chair or Swing Buyer's Guide. But today, let's explore some outdoor egg chair styles that you’ll actually want to try this year. And yes, they pass the sit-test.

 

 

Outdoor Egg Chair Tips

• Egg chairs are hotter than a sidewalk in July—and for good reason. Their cozy, cocoon-like design instantly upgrades any outdoor space.
• New styles are all about texture, color, and sustainable materials that can survive weather and still look stunning.
• Small patios, big gardens, balconies, and pool decks—there's an egg chair style for every square foot and every vibe.
• Accessories like cushions, covers, and stands make a huge difference in comfort and longevity.
• Maintenance is easier than you think—with a few basic steps, your egg chair will last for years of swinging, lounging, and late-night stargazing.

 

 

1. Outdoor Wicker Egg Chairs

Wicker is a timeless outdoor classic, modern synthetic materials gives you epic durabilty and practically effortless maintenance, and they blend beautifully when you install a high-quality resin wicker egg chair outdoor. We're not the only ones loving the many benefits of stylish, waterproof synthetic rattan. It's the perfect combo… like peanut butter, jelly, and bread. Or a round chocolate cookie, a creamy filling, and cold milk. (Wait, I should grab a snack.)

Why it Works:

• Natural, airy texture blends with every decor
• Weather-resistant synthetic rattan options are built for the outdoors
• Light enough to move, sturdy enough to last

 

 

What’s You'll Love This Year:
Chunkier weaves and open lattice designs that look breezy but feel solid. Classic neutral tones like sand and stone are still dominating, but deep greens and muted blues are creeping into the trend scene too.

And yes, about 65% of homeowners now prefer an egg chair as their outdoor seating hero. It seems to me the cocoon-shaped comfort is irresistible.

2. Modern Metal Frame Designs

If you like your outdoor furniture with a side of sleekness, modern metal-framed egg chairs are calling your name.

 

 

Features You’ll Love:

• Powder-coated aluminum or steel frames resist rust
• Clean lines without bulky bases
• Perfect for minimalistic patios and rooftop decks

In our experience helping style and install outdoor egg chairs outdoors across the San Diego area, these slim profiles fit especially well in smaller spaces where you don't want the furniture to swallow the entire view. Plus, many models now feature subtle rocking or swivel functions for added chill factor.

3. Bohemian Macrame Egg Chairs

Boho lovers, rejoice. The macrame egg chair revival is officially happening, and it’s every bit as cozy and charming as you hope.

 

The Dana Cushioned Hanging Club Chair balances intricate patterns and organic lines to create a natural, free-flowing look.

 

What Sets Them Apart:

• Intricate hand-woven rope designs
• Lightweight and ultra-breathable
• Dreamy, artistic vibe perfect for lounging with iced coffee and a paperback

From our seasoned viewpoint, macrame chairs shine best when paired with lots of greenery, string lights, and a slightly wild backyard aesthetic.
And according to recent data, over 72% of interior designers recommend egg chairs for bohemian outdoor designs—so you know you’re on the right track.

 

4. Colorful Fabric Upholstered Options

Out with the beige, in with the bold! Today's patio furniture trends are embracing bold pops of color… a great look for your outdoor egg chair. Colorful upholstered egg chairs are making waves this year, and they’re serious mood-boosters.

Why You’ll Want One:

• Cushions in vibrant prints, tropical florals, or earthy geometrics
• UV-resistant fabrics to keep colors bright longer
• Bold accents that double as functional art

I've seen a bright cushion on a minimal egg chair turn even the most boring patio into a conversation starter. I mean, have you seen the dopamine decor style that's all the rage in patio furniture?

And if you love the idea of bold cushions but aren't seeing any you love, Patio Productions makes custom cushions! So you can say nope to cookie-cutter patio styles. And don’t forget to grab a waterproof furniture cover if you live in a rain-prone zone—those stunning cushions deserve protection.

 

 

5. Minimalist Scandinavian Egg Chairs Outdoor

Simple. Streamlined. Soothing. Scandinavian-inspired egg chairs are perfect if your dream outdoor space feels more like a serene spa than a party zone.

Design Details to Look For:

• Pale woods or matte metal frames
• Soft neutral or monochromatic color schemes
• Slim silhouettes with plush, oversized cushions

To the best of our ability, we find that minimalist designs make a small patio feel bigger and an oversized deck feel thoughtfully curated. Less clutter, more calm.

 

6. Vintage-Inspired Egg Chairs

It seems to me the "Mad Men" era has found a new outdoor life with vintage-style egg chairs.

Key Throwback Elements:

• Tighter, more oval shapes
• Thicker weaving patterns
• Retro cushion fabrics (think mustard yellows, muted oranges, earthy browns)

In our careful evaluation, vintage designs pair beautifully with mid-century modern outdoor spaces—and let’s be honest, they’re just downright cool.
Considering that sales of outdoor egg chairs shot up 27.4% in the last year alone, we suspect many of those shoppers are channeling their inner 1960s chic.

7. Eco-Friendly Sustainable Designs

Finally, for all of us who want to lounge with a clear conscience, eco-friendly egg chairs are stepping up big this year.

Sustainable Standouts:

• Frames made from recycled metals or responsibly harvested woods
• Cushions filled with recycled polyfiber
• Low-toxicity finishes that resist fading and mold naturally

The planet-friendly trend doesn’t just feel good—it looks good. Earthy tones, organic shapes, and natural textures bring a whole new layer of beauty to your backyard.

And as far as I can tell, sustainable designs are no longer a niche—they’re becoming mainstream across outdoor furniture categories.

Accessorizing Your Egg Chair Like a Pro

Installing a stylish egg chair outdoors is just the start. Adding the right accessories takes it from “nice” to “no one ever wants to leave.”

Must-Have Accessories:

• Throw Pillows: Mix textures—linen, canvas, even outdoor velvet for a luxe look.
• Outdoor Blankets: Lightweight and washable, ideal for chilly evenings.
• Side Tables: A perfect perch for iced tea, books, or your phone.
• Rugs: Anchor the chair visually and add softness underfoot.

Layering in textiles and accents helps an egg chair blend into the overall outdoor design instead of floating like a random accent piece. Knowing how to use the best patio furniture accessories for every season helps you elevate your outdoor living, no matter the time of year.

Pro tip: Stick to two or three complementary colors to keep things cohesive.

Caring for Your Egg Chair (and Keeping It Gorgeous)

An outdoor egg chair is an investment in backyard happiness. Keep it looking good with a little love.

Simple Maintenance Tips:

• Regular Dusting: Wipe down the frame weekly with a dry cloth or soft brush.
• Deep Cleaning: Once a month, use mild soap and water. No harsh chemicals needed.
• Cushion Care: Bring cushions inside during storms or use waterproof covers.
• Winter Storage: If you live where it snows, store the chair in a shed or cover it fully.

In our careful evaluation, following these steps extends the lifespan of your chair by 2–4 years. That’s a lot of extra sunset watching and marshmallow roasting for minimal effort. To learn how to get the most from your patio swings and seats, read our year-round outdoor furniture care guide.

 

Quick Styling Ideas for Maximum Impact

Looking to turn your outdoor space into a backyard magazine cover without emptying your wallet? You’re not alone. Luckily, egg chairs lend themselves to easy, impactful styling.

Instant Styling Wins:

• Tropical Vibe: Pair a white or neutral chair with palm plants and banana leaf pillows.
• Boho Retreat: Macrame chair + tribal print rug + woven lanterns.
• Minimalist Escape: Scandinavian chair + pale grey cushions + sleek metal side table.
• Retro Revival: Vintage-style chair + bold-striped pillows + bright ceramic planters.

From our experienced viewpoint, the key is to pick a vibe and stick to it loosely—not every accessory has to match, but they should at least look like they’re headed to the same party.

 

 

Why an Egg Chair Is the Best Outdoor Investment This Year

As I see it, few outdoor furniture pieces offer as much comfort, style, and Instagram-worthy appeal as an egg chair.
Here’s why they’re dominating patios everywhere:

• They fit almost any size space: Small patios? No problem. Big decks? Add a pair.
• They create instant cozy corners: Perfect for solo reading, group lounging, or quiet nights.
• They adapt to your style: Modern, boho, rustic, retro—you name it.
• They’re weather-friendly: With the right materials, egg chairs can handle sun, rain, and everything in between.

And best of all, they just make you feel good. There’s something about sinking into a gently curved, supportive chair that instantly melts away the day’s stress.

 

Now Just Sit Back, Relax, and Enjoy

If you take nothing else from this guide, let it be this: your patio deserves a chair that’s as comfortable as it is stylish. Choosing an outdoor egg chair that matches your vibe, fits your space, and weathers the seasons means you’re investing in more than just furniture—you’re investing in memories.

Personally, I believe every backyard, porch, or balcony gets just a little more magical with the addition of an egg chair. So find your style, fluff those cushions, kick off your shoes, and start living your best outdoor life.
