What’s your garden style? Materials Wood What Garden Style are you? Wooden garden furniture is designed for strength and durability and is a classic choice, suiting most garden styles. Wood is relatively low maintenance, but it’s essential to treat each summer to protect against water damage and warping. Rattan Rattan garden furniture is lightweight, weather resistant and requires minimal maintenance. The synthetic weaved material can be wiped clean and kept outdoors all year round. Rattan suits the modern aesthetic, with straight edged and curved designs and glass topped tables. Metal Metal furniture is durable, hardwearing and low maintenance due to rust-resistant finishes. Metal garden sets allow you to create a classic look in your outdoor space, made contemporary with gorgeous ornate detailing and metallic finishes.

Cultivating a larger outdoor space Savvy small space gardening Small & compact Room to roam A built in BBQ A grand gazebo Rustic garden Urban garden Modern garden Family garden You don’t need to be in the countryside, or own a cottage to have a rural and rustic garden. Don’t be afraid to plant a variety of wild flowers and let your garden flourish. Complement the informal aesthetic with classic wooden furniture, such as a relaxing swing seat or a traditional bench. For extra antique appeal, opt for an ornate metal dining set and finish the look with a stone birdbath or water feature. The beauty of urban gardens comes from making the most of the outdoor space available. You can opt for a modern or a rustic style, just make sure you don’t make your small space feel cramped by choosing outdoor furniture that’s too big. Dine in style with elegant bistro sets, compact BBQ tables and two-seater dining sets. You can still enjoy gardening, making your urban space green with cleverly placed hanging baskets and vertical planters. If you’re a minimalist gardener creating a tranquil haven to relax in this summer, a modern garden complete with a rattan furniture set would be ideal. Add a protective parasol complete with granite base for a luxe look. Sleek shapes, clean lines and lavish textures are popular themes in modern gardens. Use decking to add eyecatching levels and square plant boxes for symmetry. Don’t forget the all-important built in BBQ for alfresco dining! An extendable garden dining table is a must, so the whole family can dine alfresco this summer. Indulge in hours of fun in the sun, then store away the cushions and garden games in a stylish storage box when the sun sets. Gazebos provide protection from the sun and double up as a garden den. Keep little gardeners happy by planting sunflowers. They’ll love watching them shooting skywards, and seeing whose is the tallest.
