Martha Stewart’s vision for elevated outdoor living comes to life in partnership with POLYWOOD® at Bedford Farm. Designs from two exclusive collections, inspired by her expertise and crafted by our team, shape the spaces on the 153-acre estate.
Explore the curated spaces and patio furniture by Martha Stewart, and gain design insights from America’s entertaining icon to bring her enduring style home.
Martha Stewart’s patio table sets from the Chinoiserie Collection mirror her refined style and celebration of community. The rectangular tables sit banquet-style, with long lines of identical dining chairs on either side, showcasing their intricate back details. It’s a look that’s both striking and streamlined.
“The chairs lined up like that are glorious,” Martha states—a testament to her eye for symmetry and style.
Beauty and durability can coexist. Tucked away in a cozy corner on her patio, beneath the shade of a katsura tree, a Chinoiserie deep seating set offers comfort that transcends the seasons.
“It looks like you've taken the indoors and brought it outdoors. And yet it really is outdoors,” Martha says, speaking to the collection’s traditional design that shows through the graceful lines and intricate latticework.
The delicate details of Martha Stewart’s garden tables and chairs are built with all-weather materials that withstand New York’s capricious climate: Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber frames and hand-sewn seat cushions tailored in performance fabric.
To ensure an open, inviting aesthetic for this fenced-in space, Martha Stewart’s backyard furniture and decor are arranged in ways that guide the eye and movement. Chinoiserie benches and chairs serve as focal points, complemented by end tables, greenery, and other thoughtful touches that use texture, color, and height to enhance visual appeal.
“All the different configurations of the furniture really enhance that space beautifully,” Martha states, nodding to the collection’s extensive design and color options.
Martha’s ability to find harmony between structure and style led her to place Chinoiserie 60" Garden Benches at the entrance to her gorgeous horse stable. “They look perfect there—so complementary to the architecture.”
The benches’ soft hues and detailed design blend beautifully with the barn’s elegant stone facade and surrounding hardscape, offering space to relax after a morning ride and catch glimpses of her glossy-maned Friesians.
Inspired by pieces from Martha’s historic carriage house in Maine, Acadia honors traditional Craftsman forms. Bold vertical lines add a touch of grandeur, and decorative details emulate classic woodworking joinery.
Bedford Farm visitors can enjoy Martha Stewart's lawn furniture at the Maple Avenue House, one of multiple guest accommodations on the estate. Acadia Deep Seating Chairs with teak-toned frames and cool grey cushions are paired with Chinoiserie End Tables on the home’s patio, highlighting the versatility of both collections.
Recreate Bedford Farm’s rustic yet refined style in your outdoor spaces with advice from America’s entertaining authority.
Elevate your seating with Martha Stewart outdoor cushions, available for dining chairs, chaises, and benches. It’s a simple way to enhance comfort and invite color to your patio design.
According to Martha, Chinoiserie benches serve an extra purpose: convenient storage. Place a bench near entrances to quickly hold grocery totes or handbags—keeping items off the ground and leaving your hands free.
Protect your attire with furniture featuring smooth finishes, such as Martha Stewart rocking chairs. “I hate to sit down on an old wooden chair and then get up and have a pull in my sweater or a tear in my jeans,” Martha explains. “The smoothness of POLYWOOD is just extraordinary.”
“Shade is very important to take into consideration,” Martha states. She advises using patio umbrellas to offer protection from the sun and add elegance to your spaces.
Incorporate small and large accent tables for versatile function—they’re ideal drink holders, decor displays, or even workspaces. Take inspiration from Martha and put Chinoiserie Umbrella Accent Tables to work as plant stands.
When you invest in Martha Stewart’s outdoor furniture designs, you’re choosing American craftsmanship that withstands the harshest weather, resists fading, and remains beautiful with minimal maintenance. Backed by a 20-year lumber warranty, POLYWOOD is a purchase you can feel confident about for many years.
