One of the best parts of (the quite often brief) summer in the UK is actually getting to leave the confines of our homes and getting the opportunity to spend a little time in our gardens. And while our country does not have the year-round warm weather of say the Southern Med, we can still create an outdoor living space that during those summer months we can use to relax, entertain and really enjoy our gardens. The most important component when it comes to creating a comfortable, functional, and durable outdoor living space is the furniture. But what is the best type of furniture for outdoor living in the UK? Comfort is key to outdoor living, but which type of garden furniture stands up to the British weather?
Resin furniture that we featured last month on this blog is arguably the most hardwearing choice for outdoor living, as it is not easily affected by the elements and is low-maintenance and very easy to clean. Modern resin furniture is also quite often constructed from recycled materials and is lightweight, so it is good for the environment and easy to move around or bring inside during the winter months. However, if you're looking for something a little more substantial, then metal furniture is your best bet. Cast aluminum tables and chairs are heavier and sturdier, and give the appearance of a more permanent outdoor living area. Aluminum furniture is lighter than other metals such as iron and steel and it won't rust.
If you want a more natural look, then it has to be timber and there's a number of different woods that work well outdoors in the UK and they're resistant to cracking, warping, and rotting from rain. For example tables, chairs, chaises, and sofas made out of Red Cedar can last for up to 20 years outdoors if they are well maintained and they'll not warp from all the wet British weather. Teak, whilst one of the most expensive garden furniture materials, is also known as one of the most durable timbers. The high mineral content of teak makes it totally weather resistant and it will not rot even in an extremely wet environment. If you are enjoy a rustic look, these woods will weather to a silvery-gray over time. However, if you are not a fan of the 'weathered' then they teak can be easily protected with sealant and many modern ranges of teak furniture are sold already coated for protection.
The right garden furniture will transform your back garden and make it an extension of your home. The key to creating the perfect outdoor living space is to choose outdoor living furniture that your friends and family will naturally lead them to gather outdoors when they see your stylish and comfortable outdoor living area. Modern outdoor living furniture includes: chairs, tables, patio dining sets, bistro tables, bar tables, chaise lounge chairs, sun-loungers, porch swings, hammocks, and so much more. Nowadays, garden furniture is available in various materials such as: wicker, plastic, wood, cast aluminum, wrought iron, and steal. However, for Lazy Susan, it has to be modern all-weather rattan and wicker outdoor furniture. The perfect combination of style, functionality and the ability to stand up to Mother Nature for many seasons to come

When choosing new outdoor living furniture, it is critical you take into account space. It is vital you purchase furniture that's appropriate for your garden. There is so many fantastic pieces on the market and so often at Lazy Susan we see people buying oversize furniture that simply doesn't fit in the space they have available. Smaller spaces should not be over crowded with large dining sets, go for a smaller bistro table. If you have a large area and you entertain family and friends on a regular basis, then a large dining set is perfect. Hammocks are great for children and sun-loungers are a necessity for total relaxation when the temperature rises.
Another important thing to consider is comfort and style. Is comfort important to you? Then it is important to buy furniture with cushions, chairs that swivel, gliding chaise lounges, etc. What does your house and garden look like? Outdoor furniture should reflect the style of your home. Do you live in an country cottage style home or a more modern home? Wrought iron garden furniture is great for a more traditional style homes while a modern home may look better with a more minimal style of outdoor furniture such as the sofa style pieces we've featured in this post. Many homeowners spend a significant amount of time and money building a beautiful garden but only enjoy it from the window of their home. Outdoor living furniture should allow you to enjoy your garden in both comfort and style when the weather permits!
