Redesigned Affordable Garden Bench - Habitat's popular garden bench under £150 now sports a vibrant, fashionable redesign
In a refreshing twist, Habitat has introduced two bold new colours for their popular Indu garden bench, replacing the original black option. The current popular colour trends for the Indu bench highlight two vibrant new shades: sunny yellow and red, both of which align with the Dulux 2025 Colour of the Year, "True Joy."
The sunny yellow shade, specifically a softer, butter yellow tone, has become the bestseller. This vibrant and warm hue adds an instant glow to outdoor spaces, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a statement piece for their garden.
The red colourway, described more as an earthy or burnt orange tone, is also a popular new option. This warm red shade fits the trend of using statement colours in garden furniture to add a stylish talking point and complement minimalist or green garden settings.
The original green option remains available, providing a natural and traditional choice for those who prefer a more subtle touch. However, the black version has been discontinued in favour of these lively, trend-forward hues.
Mark Holloway, founder and interior expert at Holloways of Ludlow, suggests pairing these statement shades with crisp white accents and lush greenery for a grounding effect. Sara Hesikova, the platform's Content Editor since June 2024 and Certified Expert in Training on Furniture, agrees, noting that the red and pink striped outdoor cushions pair well with both the red and green Indu bench.
One customer, who bought two Habitat Indu benches, praised their simplicity, style, and colour suitability near Bath stone. The yellow Indu bench's colour in real life is more butter yellow than a bright sunshine shade, making it a chic and budget-friendly alternative to high-end options like the HAY Palissade bench.
For those seeking additional support on the Indu bench, Habitat's bargain outdoor cushions are available for purchase. The yellow Indu bench's complementing cushion design is also available, allowing customers to achieve a tonal look that matches their garden greenery.
In summary, the current popular colours for Habitat’s Indu garden bench in 2025 are:
| Colour | Description | Trend Context | |--------------|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | Sunny Yellow | Butter yellow, vibrant and warm | Dulux 2025 Colour of the Year, bright and uplifting garden piece | | Red | Earthy burnt orange / terracotta | Statement colour, adds warmth and style in garden design | | Green (original) | Classic garden green | Retained as a natural and traditional choice |
These colours suit the garden furniture trend towards bold, statement pieces that bring life and personality to outdoor living areas while complementing greenery and minimalist surroundings.
The butter yellow tone of the sunny yellow Indu bench has been the bestseller, offering a vibrant and warm hue that illuminates outdoor spaces, making it a stylish choice for those enhancing their garden's statement piece. Additionally, the earthy or burnt orange red Indu bench colorway aligns well with the fashion-and-beauty trend of using bold colors in home-and-garden furniture, providing a talking point and blending seamlessly with minimalist or green garden settings.
