When seeking ideas for outdoor furniture, one might typically look towards patios, porches, or terraces. Yet, in my search, I discovered what I needed indoors instead: Specifically, in Reese Witherspoon’s sunroom.
Reese’s delightful space merges the indoors with the outdoors effortlessly. The natural mint-green palette enhances the verdant surroundings visible via the expansive windows, making it feel like an extension of nature offering relief during summertime. While many aspects of this sunroom are noteworthy, I was particularly drawn to her pristine white wicker loveseat.
Rattan and wicker pieces
Initially gained traction in the late 1950s and 1960s, becoming a common element in contemporary American homes. Nowadays, however, they are possibly trendier than at any time in the past, with Reese’s support underscoring this resurgence even more.
A significant part of their enduring charm stems from their adaptability: They excel whether placed inside or outside, capable of withstanding various weather conditions. The Reese loveseat stands out as one of the finest designs I have encountered so far, and I am eager to replicate this style for the upcoming season.

Resin Wicker
Similar to the woven loveseat in Reese’s sunroom, this item boasts a relaxed, airy vibe that fits equally well on a Hampton’s seaside terrace as it does within a Tennessee sunroom (props to Reese). The cushions along with matching toss pillows are crafted from water-resistant material to guarantee both durability and coziness.
Handwoven by artisans
This charming handwoven chair boasts a vintage-style beach aesthetic, making it perfect for placement on any whitewashed patio or balcony. Its design seamlessly blends coziness and elegance through its arched form, slanted armrests, and tilted back support.
Fringe framing
Velvet and tassel details create an ultra-luxurious look. Simply add a few of them to your woven loveseat or accent chair, and it will immediately appear more sophisticated. While there are several color options available, this soft sage-green shade closely mirrors the hues found in Reese’s decor.
As demonstrated by Reese, wicker items will always hold a spot inside homes, however, when it pertains to

These natural elements will infuse your patio with a touch of ‘serene opulence.’ The key to success lies in the choice of materials and design.
I believe that the primary aim of a minimalist ‘quiet luxury’ garden is to evoke feelings of serenity and ease,” Sue explains. “Furniture crafted from materials like rattan or wood complements this style well due to their natural textures and subdued color schemes.
To elevate the space even further (because why wouldn’t you want to?), consider selecting furniture pieces that feature an eye-catching texture or have a bold, architectural form. Remember to incorporate plush elements like throw pillows or blankets in subtle, cozy hues such as earthy yellow or deep brown — these will complement the overall neutral color scheme nicely.
This is exactly what I’m looking for on my patio this summer. Are you going to follow Reese’s lead as well? Share your thoughts below.
