A room outside
The moment the sun comes out, everyone in Britain heads outside to enjoy the garden. Whether it's a spot of sunbathing, or an al fresco dinner party, furnishing your outdoor space comfortably makes those precious summer moments go with a swing.
We have outdoor furniture in dozens of styles in our garden centre: to help you choose, ask yourself these questions first.
- Wooden, metal or plastic? Wooden furniture is warm to sit on; coat regularly with teak oil to keep it looking good. Metal is an elegant choice: add cushions for comfort. Plastic is economic and very durable.
- How much room have I got? Making the best use of the space you've got by measuring the area accurately and plotting on graph paper what size of furniture would fit best.
- Is the style right? Blend your furniture with the wider garden's design: for minimalist city spaces, choose funky modern styles, while traditional wood or metal suits rural country gardens.
- What about storage? If you've got a garage or shed, folding furniture packs away easily for winter. If no protective furniture covers are available in our garden centre, keep furniture in tip-top condition.
Please ask the staff in our garden centre in Athlone for more information and advice about choosing furniture for your garden.
