The time has come to venture outdoors again, and with the return of the milder weather, there’s never been a better time to start planning the best way to make the most of it. Our gardens, patios, and balconies are extensions of our homes, and when the sun starts to shine, it’s only then that many of us will realise that we don't have any garden furniture or at least not any items that will allow us to fully enjoy the outdoors. With Global Love Day almost upon us (1st of May), we felt it necessary to mark this occasion with a blog that will help our readers to fall in love with their outdoor space again. In this EZ Living Furniture blog, we list the items that are sure to turn your casual relationship with your green area into something committed and long-term. We'll take you from the very first date to the oh-so-serious meeting of the parents. So, what are you waiting for....let’s become official!
1. The First Date - La Palma Lounge Chair
The first date is always the scariest, but once you're past the initial introductions, it's then that you begin to relax and enjoy yourself. The same can be said for the La Palma Lounge Chair. At first glance, you might convince yourself that this beautiful outdoor chair far exceeds your expectations, and that your garden, patio, or balcony isn't worthy of it (major impostor syndrome). But with our explanation, you'll soon see that the La Palma features everything you want and even elements you never knew you needed.....until now. The La Palma Lounge Chair is a chic investment for any outdoor space. With its woven rope exterior and light acacia wood frame, you can sit outdoors and enjoy the warm weather while experiencing incredible comfort and envious style. The natural-toned cushions are worth falling head over heels for because they contain foam and fibre, which, when combined, offer gentle support and comfort. The La Palma can be positioned anywhere on a concrete/paved area and facing your preferred view, and in doing so, you can easily create your own outdoor haven. The La Palma Lounge Chair can be purchased on its own or paired with the matching coffee table, perfect for setting down any refreshments and nibbles.

2. Dating - Menorca 2 Wicker Chairs & Bistro Table Set
Ok, so things are starting to heat up (weather and relationship-wise), and you're beginning to think long term. There are so many questions to be asked: Are we official? Do they provide everything I need? Well, the Menorca certainly does, and it won't take up too much space in your life/outdoor space. If you’re restricted by a smaller outdoor area, such as a balcony, patio, or terrace, the Menorca is a wonderful choice. The Menorca features two chairs and a side table, all of which are made from a combination of glass, metal, and wicker. This is one of those essential sets that don’t consume a lot of floor space and offers plenty of versatility in return. You can sit alone to enjoy the wonderful weather and view outside, or invite your new partner to join you. The small table provides plenty of surface area for a cup of coffee or two, and even a glass of wine if you’re feeling a little naughty. The plush seat cushions are made from foam, meaning you will feel lower-body support while you sit.
3. Swipe Right - Cabo Egg Chair
Perhaps you've evolved, you've been around the block, met a few worthy contenders, and now understand that there's someone out there who is as flexible as you need - the Cabo Egg Chair. Anyone who lays eyes on this beautiful outdoor swing chair should immediately swipe right because there’s nothing nicer than sitting in a cosy chair, casually turning the pages of your favourite novel, while basking in the summer sunshine. Actually, we take that back....there is. What if you could do all that and add “gently swaying in the wind” into the mix? Well, you can. The Cabo Egg Chair offers enclosed seating (which can feel like a big hug from your significant other), which is suspended from a chain and attached to a stand and a rounded base. Together, they provide gentle movement, allowing you to drift off to sleep and enjoy an afternoon nap in the Cabo. Finally, the featured padded cushioning extends from the seat to your back, providing incredible comfort and enhanced relaxation, but that's not all. Looks can be deceiving, and at first glance, you might perceive this to be an outdoor-only product, but once you start to look deeper than the photo you swiped right to, you'll see that the Cabo can work well indoors too! Of course, moving in together is a big step....
4. Meeting The Parents - Monterey Corner Garden Set With Glass Firepit Table & 2 Ottomans
Before you move in together, there's another big step in any relationship that must be acknowledged - meeting the parents. We'll admit, it can almost feel like a first date; you want to make a good impression, and we won't lie, there's a lot riding on this, but one thing that can reassure you is the fact that a lot of progress has been made in your relationship. It's true, you won't ever be allowed to meet the parents without both parties feeling committed to one another - and this is where the Monterey comes in. The Monterey Corner Garden Set provides plenty of seating for those big family gatherings with its corner unit and two large ottomans, but that’s not all. The Monterey offers so much more than a typical garden corner unit, because within the square, ceramic table, you’ll find an integrated firepit. When lit, the warm firepit can extend a night of entertainment as well as offer a place for toasting marshmallows or cooking kebabs should you begin to feel peckish after making a great impression with your soon-to-be in-laws (too soon?).
5. Moving In Together - Alhambra 3M X 3M Gazebo
Congratulations on making it this far! You have put significant time in and built a solid foundation from it. We're going to assume things have been going swimmingly with the outdoor piece or set you've already chosen, but something is starting to feel off. You enjoy each other's company, but can't help but feel that you both could benefit from something different, perhaps more time together? Well, in the wise words of the legendary pop group, The Spice Girls, it could be time to "Spice Up Your Life". An additional piece could allow you to enjoy the outdoors even more than you have been doing, and this is where the Alhambra Gazebo comes in. Yes, it's a commitment, a big one, but when you hear what this Gazebo can do, you'll start moving your stuff into your new partner's home straight away. The Alhambra offers shade from the sun and protection from light rain. This is a must-have garden piece that is perfect for those larger outdoor patio areas. Each of the four beams features a double curtain with the interior zip-up net designed for insect control. The exterior curtain will allow you to stay dry as it has water-repelling capabilities. To use both, simply release the tie-backs. And if that wasn’t enough, the Alhambra has air ventilation through the roof, which helps to reduce wind pressure and allows heat to circulate. If you are truly looking to transform your outdoor space into something special and take your outdoor relationship to the next level, you’ll need the Alhambra to do it!
