15 Great Garden Benches

Embrace color in the garden with a bench in a striking color accented by pillows and well-placed pavers that welcome visitors to take a moment to rest and take in the view.

Tucked beneath a vine-covered pergola and behind a wrought-iron gate, this bench offers the essence of a secret garden. The plants and pergola also offer shady sun relief during warmer months.

Deliberate patio or paver design can deliniate your sitting area and play off the shape and design of your bench. A circular patio defined by a brick border plays off the curved back of this bench and accompanying accent chairs.

Tucked in one corner of the garden, a Lutyens-style bench gives the homeowners a spot to sit and reflect. With flowers and fresh greenery all around, they'll have no shortage of inspiration.
