8 top tips for choosing the perfect summer garden furniture
And, if you’re lucky enough to have a garden or a balcony, then this article is for you. Whether it’s socialising with friends and family or relaxing with a book and glass of something cold, we have the perfect tips to make your garden gorgeous this summer. Here are our top picks for all occasions…
The ideal place for some ‘me time’ with comfy cushions and gentle movement, an egg chair is the ultimate in relaxed seating. The clever idea of furniture that is above the ground also helps create an illusion of more space, making it ideal for gardens of any size and shape.
A garden sofa or dining table are the ultimate pieces of furniture to transform your garden into the new heart of your home for the summer months. In varying sizes and designs, and made with durable materials, you’ll find that a space like this can help create a welcoming outdoor haven for everyone to enjoy, and is a great spot to gather with friends and family.
Bistro sets make a great addition to smaller garden spaces or balconies. Typically, they comprise a smaller size table and foldable chairs, making them easy to store and the perfect option when you need your space to work extra hard. They can also be used to provide extra seating for those unexpected but very welcome guests.
Whether it’s slightly too hot or the clouds are threatening, a day bed is a suitable blend of both luxury and practicality. With various options to choose from, often including blended rattan, various choices of fabric and often even including a fully adjustable canopy, you'll be able to maximise your time outdoors every day this summer.
As we have embraced ‘bringing the outside in’ during the spring months now it feels only right to bring the ‘inside out’, and with outdoor rugs you can do exactly that. Not only is it really simple to add a sense of sophistication to any garden, but can also be a nice way to add another level of comfort to your garden area, without breaking the bank. What’s more, they can be used to create a theme for your space or brought out for a certain occasion and are easily stored if needed.
Cushions are ideal to add a pop of colour, refresh your outdoor look with the latest trends or simply add that extra comfort factor. In a range of fabrics and colours they have the added benefit of being able to resist a summer shower or two meaning your furniture can look stylish whatever the weather.
