Ride Pinterest's huge 'Fun Haus' trend – with these 20 smart garden buys

Pinterest is famous for its annual trend report predicting the biggest breakout looks that’ll gain traction across fashion, interiors and beyond. For 2026, one of their biggest tips is ‘Fun Haus’: bold, bright and uplifting designs that unite big-top stripes, harlequin checks and curvy shapes with childlike glee.

For gardens and outdoor spaces, it’s the easy way to embrace gorgeous pops of colour with brightly coloured furniture, traffic-stopping planters and tactile outdoor cushions, parasols and rugs that conjure up old-school circus fun.
