Whether you’re planning a long summer of family barbeques or spending time outdoors playing ping pong, having somewhere suitable to sit and relax in between activities is essential. While the classic garden table and chairs can’t be beaten and elegant benches are brilliant, here are three other options worth considering when you want to try something new:
Hanging egg chairs
Swinging seats have long been a popular option for UK gardens, but hanging egg chairs offer a contemporary take on the time-honoured classic. The curved oval seat is suspended from an elegant metal framework and benefits from comfortable cushions that can easily be cleaned. Crafted from robust aluminium and woven resin, these original outdoor options can be placed on lawns or patios for added style.
Designed for outdoor use, these suspended seats are entirely waterproof and UV stable, protecting their finish from the sun’s rays and making them extremely hardy. Hanging egg chairs that fit one or two people are available to suit your specific needs.
Café-style seating
Slimline and stylish, bistro furniture can bring a continental look to your garden. Available in a host of different looks and finishes, this café-style seating can be a quick and convenient solution when you need extras space for guests. Often fully foldable, these innovative tables and chairs can be stored in your shed and brought out when reserves are needed at a moment’s notice. For added comfort and a sense of style, you can add some colour to your new furniture with some bright throws and pillows with summery designs.
Firepit dining
When the sun goes down, but you want to enjoy the long summer nights a little more, firepit dining sets are the ultimate choice for outdoor events. While the seating options for these stunning sets are extremely comfortable, with thick, chunky cushions on smart and sturdy woven bases, it’s the table that offers the main attraction. While still supplying you and your guests with plenty of space for dining and drinks, these tables also incorporate a dedicated firepit in the centre. They will provide you with plenty of warmth and light to gather around, so you’ll be able to enjoy even more of the summer and stay out well into the evening.
Furniture bases included in firepit dining sets are designed with protection from the elements, ensuring you never have to store them away in winter months. However, while the cushions included in these sets need to be tucked inside after summer, the covers are completely machine washable, so you can make certain they always look their best. The firepits use patio gas, and the tables have been tempered to ensure your safety.
From suspended hanging egg chairs and bistro sets to firepit dining for intimate evenings when the summer days cool down, there are a whole host of unique garden furniture choices available. Explore the space you have outdoors and see which style is best to spruce up your garden this year.
