One of the hottest decor trends I’ve seen this year is the popularity of garden stools, sometimes called “drum tables.” These design accents, often made out of ceramic or shimmery metal, are fun and versatile. Garden stools come in a wide variety of shades, including white, silver, gold, greens, blues, reds and yellows.
The use of these drum-shaped stools are said to have originated in China at least 1,000 years ago, but it could be said that 2014 is the year of the garden stool for home decor! Part of the stool’s popularity is due to its versatility: They can be use indoors, outdoors, as accent tables and as seating.
I love the lattice pattern in this apple green garden stool from One Kings Lane. Apple green is my favorite color! The table would suit a garden or patio and would add a fun pop of color to just about any room!

I also love the design of this white garden stool, and think it would be a great accent in a modern living room.

To add some glitz and glam to a room, I’d add a pretty garden stool in metallic silver. Beautiful!
Garden Stools as End Tables
I’ve recently redesigned my home’s living room, and have added a new sofa, ottoman, DIY throw pillows and a yellow and white accent chair. I think a garden stool on either side of the sofa would work well — they would be the perfect spot to rest a book or a cup of tea! I am torn, though!! I am not sure whether to go with a clean and white garden stool, or with a garden stool in a fun color like my beloved apple green, or even yellow, like this Madison Garden Stool in “mustard” from One Kings Lane.

This is what my home’s living room looks like now. Would you use garden stools as end tables, and if so, what color would you go with?

I love the ceramic garden stool as an end table. I think you should go for it and get the mustard one for yours! I would pick the silver for mine

The mustard would be pretty, Jen! Especially since I am going for a “sunny” look in the family room. Thanks for the visit! Enjoy your holiday weekend!
I love the idea. You could use an upside down large ceramic pot for a garden stool/end table, too.

That’s a great idea, Val. I was actually thinking of doing that for the patio — I’ve seen nice ones on Pinterest that are wrapped with twine on top.
These are actually super cute – simple and decorative. I could definitely see using them for more than just garden stools but they would be super cute out in the yard too!!

Thanks, Christina! I think they are wonderful — I hope to get some soon! Thanks for the visit!
I’ve always loved these garden stools. My grandmother had one in her living room when I was little so they remind me of her!
I need to run out and get one for our outdoor living space!
