After all, there’s nothing like reading on a lounger , soaking up the sun in an egg chair , dining al fresco with the help of a pizza oven or enjoying a cuppa while sitting at your new bistro set. But shopping for quality garden furniture sets is no small feat. From supermarkets and DIY stores to online retailers or garden centres, there are hundreds of shops available at just a couple of clicks. Depending on your space, there are many factors to consider before furnishing your outdoor area. If you’ve got a small patio or cosy balcony, consider an Ikea-style fold-away bistro set or deckchair. Those with large gardens might benefit from sizable sofa sets and tables for alfresco hosting from retailers such as Wayfair and Moda. Beyond practicality, there’s also the question of aesthetics. If you’re going for maximalism, make a beeline for Graham & Green and Oka, while the minimalists will find Scandi-influenced Cox & Cox or M&S more suited to their tastes. With the sheer amount of choice, when it comes to where to shop, it can be difficult to know where to start when giving your garden a makeover. From budget-friendly favourites (hello, ) to luxury names brimming with investment pieces, we’ve curated this edit of retailers that are most worthy of your attention – plus, we’ve rounded up the best deals to shop on garden furniture this month.
