How you style your outdoor space can have a significant impact on the look and feel of your home. We sometimes use garden furniture as a tool to decorate our backyards, but what happens when you purchase yours only to realise that you prioritised your wants rather than your needs? One way to avoid impulsive decision-making is to buy items that are multi-functional, and that includes garden furniture. Purchasing outdoor furniture that serves a variety of purposes and a multitude of weather changes is very beneficial because if our wants do happen to change in the future, they can still be of great use to us. EZ Living Furniture has put together a list of garden furniture items that can do just that! Keep reading to find out more…..

Ashbury Firepit Corner Garden Set at EZ Living Furniture.

Corner Dining Set With A "Firey" Twist

Feast your eyes on this magnificent corner garden set that can be used to relax and dine in the summer sunshine. This rattan beauty can lend itself to multiple occasions with little creativity. First, you can simply use it for its original purpose and position it on a garden patio or garden decking and relax on the luxuriously comfortable cushions. You can also display an array of summer foods and BBQ goodies on the table and invite guests over to dine with you. But, and here's the exciting part, with the Ashbury Set, you can also help yourself to a toasted marshmallow over an open fire at night, or multiple thanks to the hidden firepit feature in the centre of the table. But, this is only the start of this height-adjustable table’s uses, if the weather were to take a dramatic turn during the summer months, this corner sofa and three stools can be brought indoors into a conservatory and used all year round.

Lupin Bistro Set with 2 Wicker Chairs & Table at EZ Living Furniture.

It Takes Two To Tango….Or Is It Three?

This three-piece wicker bistro set is perfect for small outdoor areas. When placed on a patio or balcony, you can easily spend hours in the garden gossiping with a close friend, discussing the day’s events with a family member, or simply resting your eyes under the warming rays with a friendly neighbour. Again, this rattan set, which includes two chairs and a coffee table, can be used both indoors and outdoors. It can take up a permanent residency in a conservatory if you so wish, or placed under an awning if the weather should happen to take a turn for the worse. Should you prefer your own company, simply place the second chair at your feet, facing you, and now you can put your feet up and create your very own sun lounger. Don’t forget too, that these chairs can also be used as dining chairs indoors when you spontaneously decide to have a dinner party and don’t have enough seating for your guests.

Granada Adjustable Sun Lounger at EZ Living Furniture.

Lying Down Has Never Felt So Good

Speaking of sun loungers, the Granada is one to watch. While a sun lounger’s primary function is to allow us to fully extend and relax under the sun's blazing heat, we aren't restricted from also using these indoors to catch up on some light reading or an after-dinner nap. And just when you thought you knew every use for a sun lounger, here comes another. When fully collapsed, a sun lounger can also be used as a makeshift dining bench. Dining chairs can only go so far, and if you've ever been the host of a last-minute BBQ, you'll know just how stressful it can be to try to gather enough seating for everyone. A collapsed sun lounger can easily seat a number of additional diners on a relatively compact surface area.

Alhambra Parasol at EZ Living Furniture.

Feeling Shady?

A parasol allows you to make the most of your garden, even throughout the autumn, and maybe during the winter too. Parasols create shade in the summer months to protect you from the strength of the sun’s harmful rays. But, what if this one item of garden furniture also held the key to working outdoors? Well, actually, it does. Working on a laptop outdoors can seem almost impossible, especially when the sun is beating down on your screen, making it barely legible. Should you feel the need for some fresh air while WFH (working from home), simply pick up your laptop and take yourself outside. Perch yourself under a parasol and voila!
