  • The mattress placed on pallets remains a strong option in 2025, driven by the minimalist trend. It finds its place on a terrace, in a patio, or under a tree. You can vary the positions, leaning back or lying down, depending on the thickness chosen. For a sober atmosphere, play with a neutral or earthy palette. As for accessories, plan for a few flat cushions, a basket for your reading material, and a light blanket. Photo Truffaut

  • Under a lightweight pergola, you can devour novels without suffering from the full sun. Openwork models in light wood, white aluminum, or painted steel are often paired with curtains or a sliding shade. You can install an outdoor rug, a sofa, a low armchair, and a side table. The structure can be placed freely in the garden to create a quiet, shaded corner. Photo Gamm Vert
  • Suspended between two trees or on a structure, the hammock remains a classic for reading that ends in a nap. The 2025 collections feature woven textiles with understated stripes, monochrome canvases, or openwork mesh. You can create an airy and soft alcove, ideal for extended reading. Slip a small cushion under your head and a low shelf on the floor. Photo Proloisirs
  • The deckchair or folding armchair can be combined with a coffee table for a reading corner that's easy to set up and move. This year, the models are available in teak or colored metal, with removable canvas covers. You can add a knotted cushion to the seat for added comfort. The coffee table can hold your book, a drink, or a portable lamp. Photo Leroy Merlin
  • Flexible and space-saving, the floor mattress is perfect for creating a reading nook in the garden or on the patio. It rolls up, folds, and can be carried with a strap. In 2025, manufacturers are opting for washable covers made from organic cotton or washed linen, often featuring floral patterns on a blue, ochre, or olive green background. Use it on the grass or under an arbor. Complete with a throw and a memory foam cushion. Photo Jardin Privé

  • The swing chair is making a comeback in outdoor catalogs, modernized with clean lines and technical materials. It offers a gentle, soothing movement conducive to reading, while creating a focal point in your summer decor. Install it on a covered terrace or in a corner of the garden, on stable ground. Choose a freestanding model with a wide seat, and add a few matching cushions. Photo Hespéride
  • The chaise longue retains its place on terraces and poolsides. Pair it with a side table or a rolling trolley to keep your books and accessories within easy reach. In 2025, low shapes dominate. You can create a harmonious ensemble by adding an adjustable solar lamp and a blanket that matches the colors of your outdoor decor. Photo Made in Design
  • This year, the bench comes in natural wood or sleek metal, often accompanied by narrow cushions or slatted backs. Place it under a tree, against a wall, or sheltered by a hedge to enjoy a constant patch of shade. It's a simple but welcoming seat, ideal for flicking through a magazine or rereading a novel. For even more comfort, pair it with an outdoor rug. Photo Jardiland
