Thinking about exterior design is a perennial pursuit, but as we approach the peak of summer 2026, the arrival of garden parties and sun-drenched afternoons provides the perfect excuse to prioritize our outdoor spaces. This season, the warmer weather invites us to refresh our patios with new investments, and we are looking to Goldie Hawn for the ultimate aesthetic inspiration.
The actress’s yard serves as an idyllic summer sanctuary, featuring a lush lawn, towering palm trees, and elegant white-painted French doors. While the entire space is enviable, her patterned outdoor furniture is the standout feature. The blue and brown cushions (similar to these on Amazon) adorning Hawn’s white rattan chair serve as a masterclass in how a splash of pattern can make a sophisticated statement without feeling intrusive. It introduces visual intrigue while harmonizing beautifully with the natural greenery.

Refined coastal design defines this seat cushion cover, featuring tan and baby blue tropical palm motifs throughout for a light and relaxed feel that’s so similar to Goldie’s. I love how the baby blue pinstripe trim adds a soft, ocean-inspired touch for the summer.

‘Patterned outdoor furniture can really boost the look and feel of your outdoor space. They beautifully blend with the natural surroundings and create a great place to hang out with friends and family,’ notes Hamptons-based interior designer Allison Babcock.
‘Patterned furniture combines beauty, practicality, and versatility, making it a perfect pick for elevating your outdoor living areas.’
Beyond the visual appeal, Babcock highlights that these designs are particularly suited for the rigors of midsummer hosting.
‘Patterned designs not only add a fun and unique touch but also do a great job of hiding dirt and stains, which is super important as it needs to be able to withstand the elements and any company you have over,’ she explains. ‘Whether you go for bold stripes or delicate floral patterns, these pieces add charm and character, making your outdoor living area more cozy and inviting.’
Furthermore, the patterned upholstery is not the only element defining garden trends for 2026. Lynsey Abbott, the senior buyer at Dobbies, observes that rattan decor remains a cornerstone of outdoor decor.
While Hawn has opted for classic white rattan – a choice that feels particularly fresh during the bright July sun – this durable material excels in any shade. ‘Typically low-maintenance and sturdy, rattan garden furniture is a popular choice for a reason,’ Abbott comments.
‘Rattan is a tried and tested material when it comes to outdoor furniture… and that will last for years to come.’ By pairing a patterned cushion with a rattan base, you can recreate Hawn’s timeless style. It is a look that promises to remain just as chic when the summer of 2027 rolls around.
