Cool patio furniture picks for a fresh new look

Last year’s alfresco fun was pretty darned good. Everyone had a whale of a time. But maybe your patio furniture is looking shabby, you want to recreate the space in a different way, or you’re planning to add more regular guests to the invitation list this time around. Here are some stunning patio furniture choices to inspire you.

Deliciously stylish patio furniture styles

Starting from small to large, here are some of our most popular furniture lines for the season. First, a Bistro Set to die for. This smart Florenity Galaxy Bistro Set is made from 100% FSC certified Eucalyptus, a good-looking wood that isn’t just strong, it lasts and lasts outdoors so is perfect for the not-always-so-great British weather. A modern painted finish in a cool mid blue-grey brings the simple traditional style bang up to date and because it folds up, it is ideal for smaller gardens as well as for people with limited storage. Although you can always invest in a beautiful resin garden storage box 😉

The whole Florenity range of wooden garden furniture is a delight with its three heritage colours and enormous collection of matching garden furniture and accessories, from gorgeous garden mirrors to planters and benches, plant stands and potting tables. There’s even a wonderful choice of tall, safe, slimline garden candle holders.

Rock yourself into a state of supreme relaxation on the patio with this Norfolk Leisure Oakwell rocking chair. It takes the traditional rocking chair design to a fresh new place with its subtle grey-green paint job, chunky good looks and strong build, easy to accessorise to match the rest of your alfresco decor.

We don’t all have massive patios, which is why this Norfolk Leisure Titchwell Garden Day Bed in White / Beige is such a popular buy. As you can see you can use it in several different ways, with or without the canopy and with or without the ottoman. Each as comfy and fun as the last, this gives you versatile patio seating or quality lounging for as many as four people.

You might like to keep things ultra-simple with the smart deep grey Keter Lima Table with 6 Akola Chairs, a sturdy, good-looking way to eat in great comfort on the patio thanks to its quirky, curly organic-design bucket chairs and generous dining table, all made from strong, long-lasting, beautiful resin. The material has revolutionised garden furniture with its strength, versatility and contemporary looks, and this particular set is all about the resin. Add your own chair cushions if you like, but they’re remarkably comfy on their own.

The Norfolk Leisure Sheringham 4 Seater Cube Outdoor Dining Set is another patio-perfect idea, blending chunky good looks with a clever space-saving design that lets you stash the chairs completely under the table. Very cool, and because it’s made from modern materials like resin rope and powder coated aluminium it is nice and lightweight. A smart dark slate grey finish completes the picture and the tough materials mean it can stay outside all year, whatever the weather.

Nod off in the super-comfy Norfolk Leisure Folding Basket Garden Chair, another space saving outdoor furniture choice that’s perfect for patios. A beautifully thick, squashy button-style chair cushion in silvery pale grey contrasts perfectly with the darker grey frame, which cleverly folds down to next to nothing for easy storage. Pop it up in a couple of minutes and it is ready in no time, primed for top class lounging.

So your only problem is what to choose, not a bad problem to have! Here’s one more tip, which we can’t say often enough: measure first, buy second and the patio furniture you pick will fit like a glove.
