Garden Stools & Gardening Stools 101: How to Decorate Like a Pro

Garden Stools & Gardening Stools 101: How to Decorate Like a Pro

Kathy Kuo Home 12:00 am

Now that spring is here at last, refreshing your outdoor space is a great way to set the decor mood for the season. Imagining our dream outdoor space got us thinking about one of our favorite ways to add seating to the backyard and on the patio: Garden stools.

Now comes the question, how to decorate with garden stools. These decor elements have been quite the design “do” over the past few years. Gone are the days when a garden stool was only good for adding seating in the pool area. These days, garden stools are popping up both indoors and out (just be sure to bring them inside in the winter so they don’t freeze and incur damage), and we couldn’t be happier. They’re a chic, simple, easy way to add both surface storage and seating, and they work both indoors and out.

Need a little mini table between two chairs by the pool? Insert a chic garden stool. Looking for a place to rest your Kindle and glass of water during your nightly bath? A garden stool can help. Want to spruce up your bedroom and add a pop of color? Garden stools–and our design team–are at your service.

Garden Stools are Great for Small Spaces

Garden stools can be so many things: a colorful accent piece, a charming side table, a textural element. They can sit on their own, or be clustered in sets of twos and threes in lieu of a traditional coffee table. They’re a great solution for small spaces, such as reading nooks, bedside tables, vanity areas, or bathrooms, and can be nested under console tables in entryways and living rooms for added visual interest (and extra seating in a pinch!).

Garden Stools can be Used Indoors and Outdoors

At first glance, it can be difficult to envision how to decorate with garden stools inside the home. After all, garden stools were originally designed for use in Chinese courtyards during the Ming Dynasty. But that’s what we’re here for! Below, we’ve put together a variety of ideas for decorating with garden stools.

    I like that you included some stools you could use in your bathroom. The different colors and designs are really intriguing and I would love to get some like this. There are some areas near my tub that would look great with stools.
