Nurture a beautiful outdoor living space and get your garden, patio, or balcony ready for the summer. Sunny days and warmer evenings will soon be here, so make sure you and your outdoor space are ready for it. Whether you’re buying new garden furniture or using old garden furniture, we have all the tips you need to know for creating a beautiful outdoor space.
Buying Garden Furniture
When you’re buying garden furniture, it's important to choose materials, fabrics and styles that match your personality and taste. We have put together a list of the various garden furniture styles available on the Irish market including wicker furniture, metal furniture, wooden furniture and plastic furniture.
Wicker Garden Furniture
Wicker-inspired garden furniture is all the rage for today's modern-day patio or terrace. Woven-style furniture is often made using rattan, bamboo and willow, which bends to create beautifully braided patterns. This furniture design will suit any outdoor space whether it's modern, vintage or traditional. The Saint Tropez Corner Sofa & Coffee Table Set gets its signature look from its stunning rattan wicker weave. The rattan wicker is made from a neutral-coloured fibre and the table is crowned with a beautiful glass top. This is the perfect outdoor table for long summer evenings in the sun.
Metal Garden Furniture
Metal outdoor furniture is a great option for people who prioritise durability above all else. A quality, well-made metal garden set will last for years if properly maintained. Metal furniture can be made from steel, cast iron, metal and cord, and cast aluminium. A metal outdoor dining set can come in many styles, so look out for ones that suit your individual taste. The Bilbao Garden Chair is contemporary and will make a beautiful statement in your garden. This gorgeous garden chair is made using metal and cord for that sleek appeal. The benefit of both the metal and rope-like material here is that you get the durability and style all in one chair.
Wooden Garden Furniture
Wooden outdoor furniture is the best option for people who like traditional-styled furniture, however, it requires a lot of care. Sunlight can change the colour of the paintwork, therefore, it is required that the wood is sanded down and painted to keep the table and chairs in prime condition. Hardwood such as redwood, teak, pine, and cedar, will have a longer lifespan than other common types of wood. Look out for outdoor wooden furniture that is pressure-treated to withstand harsh weather conditions. This type of treatment will keep the wood in good condition for a longer period of time.
Plastic Garden Furniture
Plastic furniture is convenient and usually has a simple design. This type of outdoor furniture is excellent for anyone who wants a product that is easy to clean, lightweight and inexpensive compared to other types of lawn furniture such as wicker or metal. Although plastic furniture has many benefits, it can sometimes be less stylish compared to other types of lawn furniture - thankfully, we've got the solution - our Alba Yellow Garden Chair.
