How to choose your perfect garden furniture
Finding outdoor furniture that perfectly suits your garden, your style and your way of life can be tricky – especially when there’s so much choice out there! Where do you start?
The best first step is simply choosing your material. Traditional wood, elegant rattan, sumptuous fabric, or even luxury metal-framed…when it comes to garden chairs and tables, there are benefits to each. So it’s good to think about what really matters most to you.
To help you decide, here’s our quick guide to finding the perfect outdoor furniture for your garden.
Rattan garden furniture
With its classic wicker weave, rattan tables and chairs are the perfect choice if you’re looking for a blend of contemporary style with comfort.
Why we love it: From garden parties to a glass of wine on the patio, the clever modular design means you can arrange and re-arrange your garden table and chairs to suit your needs.
Take a look: No matter how big or small your garden, rattan garden furniture offers a real statement piece. This unusual curved OSLO dining set with an adjustable garden table has been catching everybody’s eye this season.
Wooden garden furniture
From a classic wooden chair to large picnic benches, wooden garden furniture gives that natural, relaxed, traditional look that’s just right for a garden.
Why we love it: Wooden garden furniture not only feels authentic but also, as it gently changes colour as it ages, really becomes part of your garden’s story. It’s also a great eco-friendly choice.
Take a look: We’re a little bit in love with this Emily Love Seat. Or, why not make a feature out of corner of your garden with these sweet little 2-seater gazebos – perfect for relaxing outdoors.
Metal frame
For a deluxe feel that’s maintenance-free, double powder-coated aluminium garden tables and chairs are definitely top of our patio furniture list! And there’s certainly lots of choice: classic 2-seater metal bistro sets; generous metal lounge sets; and metal dining tables that your guests will adore.
Why we love it: As well as looking fabulous, this type of metal-framed garden furniture is rust-free. That means it not only withstands our famous British weather, but can also stand the test of time – it’s a premium choice.

Fabric garden furniture
Do you want to be as comfortable in your garden as you are in your lounge? Then fabric garden furniture could be the choice for you. Sleek, contemporary and cushioned…it takes outdoor furniture to a whole new level!
Why we love it: As well as being super comfortable (did we mention it was comfortable?!), fabric garden furniture is often complemented by wood-effect table tops and trimmings, making the whole thing look and feel extra luxurious.
Take a look: For something really special, try this Stockholm firepit set to create a really cosy feel after dark.
A final top tip
It’s so much easier to choose outdoor furniture sets when you can picture them in a garden, rather than just on a shop floor. Take a look at the photographs of the different ranges on the Lawn Lounge website to get a real feel for how each could look in your own garden.
Happy choosing!
