The way you design your garden space is often overlooked or dismissed as something simple and straightforward. Most people won’t put the same level of thought into designing a garden, as they would say, a living room, and this is a mistake. Your garden says a lot about you as a person in the same way as the interior of your home does. One area of your garden style that has a big impact in both an aesthetic and functional way is with your choice of luxury garden furniture. Finding the best garden lounger set, firepit and table, or whatever type and style of garden furniture you want, will go a long way to helping you to define your garden style and set out how you use it on a day-to-day basis.
Understanding your garden layout
The first part of choosing luxury garden furniture for your garden is to look at the layout you have currently, and the layout you are in the process of designing. What sort of space do you have and how would different types of furniture fit logistically within that space. For instance, is there space for a large fire pit table with comfortable seating around it, or would you be better with a more informal fire pit in one corner? Is there covered space for an outdoor dining table and chairs? You don’t want small pieces of furniture lost in a large space or large furniture crammed into a small space.
What function do you want your garden to have?
Deciding on how you want to use your garden is also vital in choosing the type of luxury garden furniture you have there. If you want to create a comfortable outdoor space for you and the family to enjoy in a restful manner, it might look a bit different to a party and entertainment space where you invite friends and family over for summer garden parties. Weather-resistant furniture is important, as well as adjustable furniture that can be used for a multitude of activities.
What material do you want?
This choice very much plays into how you see your garden functioning, as it will become a central part of the overall garden aesthetic. Wood and timber furniture pieces have an authentic, stylish look and feel, but requires treatment to prevent long-term decay. Rattan, wicker, and plastic have their positive characteristics but might not look the best, whilst sleek metal garden furniture can look the part and is easy to maintain.
All-weather garden furniture?
All-weather garden furniture is a necessity if you are planning on spending a lot of time outdoors, especially during the UK summer where you’re more likely to have wind, rain, and sun within a few minutes of each other every single day! Avoid materials that absorb moisture and are more likely to suffer from weather damage.
Choosing the right type of luxury garden furniture for your garden space does say a lot about your style and character, and also how you like to use your garden space. Whether you want a comfortable area to chill out with a glass of wine and a book or you see your garden as more of an entertainment area where you’ll welcome friends and family over for summer barbecues and winter shindigs around the firepit, there is something for everyone. Always choose a supplier of luxury garden furniture that has a wide range of options, using robust and long-lasting materials that could provide you with that all-weather garden furniture you are craving.
