Modern garden
Simple, clean, elegant and practical.
Sleek, stylish and serene: how to create a modern garden
Picture this: you step outside into a garden that radiates calm, where every detail feels perfectly in place. No cluttered corners or loud colours, but a tranquil atmosphere with clean lines and luxurious materials. That is exactly what the modern garden style is all about. Want to transform your outdoor space into a modern oasis? Read on and discover how to make it happen.
What makes a garden modern?
A modern garden is all about simplicity, balance and smart design. Think clean shapes, a calm colour palette and a functional layout. You’ll often see large patio tiles, well-placed planters and furniture with a minimalist look.
And the colours? They stay close to nature, with shades like grey, black, white and beige. Dark green or brown can be added for warmth, but always in harmony with the whole. No loud tones – just a sense of stylish calm.
In a modern garden, it’s not just about design – it’s about calm and rhythm. Every element has both a purpose and a place.

Modern garden with dark outdoor furniture
Dark garden furniture gives your modern outdoor space a bold and luxurious look. Think anthracite, black or deep grey shades that pair beautifully with light patio tiles or a wooden deck. These colours create a striking contrast without overwhelming the space. Especially when combined with clean lines and minimalist planting, this type of furniture truly shines.
For example, choose a lounge set with a lava aluminium frame and cushions in grey tones. Add a ceramic table with a concrete-look top, and your garden instantly gains a modern, elegant atmosphere.
Modern garden with white outdoor furniture
White garden furniture gives your outdoor space a fresh and airy look. In a modern garden, it creates a sense of calm and light, especially when combined with natural elements such as pale wood or beige tiles. White furniture reflects the sunlight and makes your garden appear more spacious.
To keep the balance, combine a white dining set with soft greys or subtle pastels. Mist-grey cushions, a light ceramic tabletop and sand-coloured accessories add warmth and a welcoming feel. This way, you preserve the minimalist character of the modern style, while keeping it comfortable and inviting.
The power of simplicity in styling
Accessories do have a place in a modern garden – but always in moderation. Opt for a few large plant pots in black or concrete-look finishes, place a sleek outdoor rug beneath your lounge set and use soft lighting, such as integrated LED strips or designer wall lamps.
A modern parasol like the Jasmijn is not only practical but also a stylish feature in your garden. With its tilting system and rotating base, you can easily adjust it to the position of the sun – without disturbing the clean, contemporary look.
From sleek design to relaxed outdoor living
The modern garden is the perfect choice for anyone who values calm, clarity and style. By making thoughtful choices in colour, shape and material, you create an outdoor space you’ll enjoy every single day. Want to know which furniture best suits your modern garden?
