Perhaps for your garden, something a little different in seating is what you desire. Those regular old rectangular benches just aren't going to cut it. You need the more exotic curved garden bench. In this collection we have so many garden benches with natural curves, and some fun options, and they will inspire you to expand your garden to have a few more of them scattered about.
Our Picks
Small Curved Garden Bench Semi enclosed Birdcage
Lark Manor™
These types of garden benches look as if you cut a birdcage in half. Small, curved garden bench birdcages can seat one person, while large birdcage benches can seat up to four.
Add these types to your garden for vintage and classical appeal. Make sure you don’t have any low branches, or this type of bench will not fit properly. Place a small birdcage curved bench nestled between two full bushes or trees.
Traditional Curved Wooden Bench
Curved wooden benches and stone curved benches are your most natural elements to add to a garden. You can find curved wooden benches with or without a backrest and armrests.
For a rustic sense, look for a heavier-built curved wooden bench. Teak wood is a gorgeous wood type when found on a curved bench with a rounded backrest. Bohemian styles tend to pursue the round-shaped backrest.
Reverse Curved Garden Bench With Backrest
Fleur De Lis Living
Instead of placing a curved garden bench in the outer curve of a pathway, you can use a reverse curved garden bench on the inner curve instead. Finding a reverse curved bench with a backrest is rare but obtaining a backless one is quickly done.
The downside to the reverse curved bench is instead of curving inwards to face other people, it curves outwards away from people. Keeping your head turned sideways during long conversations can be a pain in the neck (literally!).
Decorative Metal Curved Bench
Decorative metal curved garden benches are far and many. You can easily find delicately curvy patterns, simple rectangular straight-forward designs, flower roses, and some even designed to look like butterflies or fish.
If you choose a curved bench made of metal, make sure to find an aluminum metal bench because aluminum will not rust. Other metals can also hold up extremely well in humid locations if they are coated with a protective lacquer.
Circular Bench Seating With an S shape
The most romantic bench of all is the S-shape, otherwise known as the tete-a-tete curved bench. Tete-a-tete is French, with the English meaning of “head-to-head.” These types of benches allow you to directly face and chat with someone.
You can purchase the S-shape curved garden bench in metal, wood, or stone material. Some S-shaped benches come backless, though ones with backrests are much more comfortable for lengthier exchanges.
Heavy Stone Semi circular Garden Bench
Darby Home Co
The biggest benefit of owning a stone semi-circular garden bench is its immense weight. Most stone bench legs and seats are separatable for easier moving.
Stone curvy garden benches should be used in high-wind locations because they are less likely to fall over. Add a simple stone curvy bench for a contemporary or rustic atmosphere, or an intricate design for a Victorian or a gaudy charm.
Backless Wicker Aluminum Curved Bench
Latitude Run®
Wicker is used in Boho style however it also looks incredible in other décor styles too. Backless curved garden benches made with mixed metal and wicker protect your bench from harsh elements while remaining comfortable.
Darker-toned backless wicker aluminum benches will blend seamlessly into the natural background of your garden. Lighter tones and brighter colors can be blended to match the flower colors in your garden.
Faux Leather Upholstered Picnic Curved Bench
La-Fete
This one isn’t for everyone, though it is an interesting substitute. These faux leather upholstered curved benches are originally listed as picnic benches. You can easily use them on a stone or concrete garden pathway.
They are blockier constructions and super comfortable to sit on. You can find them in all sorts of colors. Since they are made of porous fabric, you probably don’t want to leave them outside all year round.
Tree Bench Semi Circular Garden Bench
Yes, The lovely tree bench! These semi-circular garden benches can beautifully highlight your favorite garden trees.
If you don’t already have a large ground planted tree, then buy yourself a large potted tree to put in its place. These types of curvy benches still look spectacular even without a tree.
Recycled Plastic Curved Garden Bench
Arlmont & Co.
These recycled curved garden benches are low maintenance and upkeep. A curved bench made of plastic can stay with you for several years without needing to re-stain or spray them with protective polish.
The drawback of recycled plastic types is the lack of their physical charm. If you are wanting a bench simply to be able to sit in your garden and you don’t care about how it looks, then go with a recycled plastic curved garden bench.
