Whether you like hosting regular summer BBQs, having long lazy lunches with the family or simply having some “me time” in the peace and quiet, choosing the right garden furniture is the best way to make sure you do it right first time.
Entertaining
If entertaining family and friends is high on your agenda, an outdoor dining set is a must. The size really depends on you and your needs. Go for the biggest size available if you regularly have large dinner parties, but for intimate dining a small bistro set for two or four may be enough. It may also be worth investing in some foldaway tables and chairs for when more people than normal are invited.
Relaxing with friends
Alternatively, if relaxing and chilling with friends is more your thing rather than formal dining, look to create a cosy corner with outdoor sofas, floor cushions, swing seats and loungers. Arranged around a glowing fire pit, this could be the perfect way to enjoy a summer’s evening with family and friends.
A haven of peace
For some of us, our gardens and outdoor space are an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A place to spend some quiet time and enjoy the fruits of our labour. Create a little sanctuary with a day bed or sun loungers for you and a companion to simply sit quietly with a good book or chilled glass of wine. Something like the Outback reclining chairs are the perfect choice for this.
