How much space do I need for my garden furniture?

The number of seats in a garden furniture set depends directly on the space available and your needs. In small spaces, such as balconies or a compact terrace, a small set comprising a low table, a few chairs and armchairs is enough to create a dining or relaxation area. For large gardens, on the other hand, large tables combined with wooden or aluminium garden furniture can accommodate more people, making them ideal for sharing meals with family or friends.

When choosing garden furniture, you should also consider its size and materials. Exotic wood or teak give a natural, warm look but require more maintenance to withstand the elements. Aluminium or metal garden furniture offers a more modern, lightweight and low-maintenance look, whilst plastic or resin is practical and withstands the sun well. Outdoor furniture comes in a variety of styles: from compact garden sets for small spaces to complete sets with large tables, perfect for large gardens.

When it comes to style and décor, play around with colour, design and accessories to create a harmonious ensemble. Ideally, choose outdoor furniture that reflects your personality whilst fulfilling its purpose: whether that’s hosting a small gathering or a large number of guests.

In summary, to choose the right garden furniture set, decide on the number of seats based on your lifestyle, the space available and the materials best suited to your needs. Opt for a compact and practical set for a small garden or compact spaces, and for large tables if you have plenty of space and wish to host large, convivial meals.
