There’s something wonderfully indulgent about spending time outdoors, especially when your garden is as comfy and inviting as your living room. Whether you're hosting long, lazy lunches or curling up with a good book in the sunshine, the right garden furniture can completely transform your space. But how do you choose pieces that offer both style and substance?
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key considerations for selecting the best garden furniture for your space - whether you're dreaming of outdoor dining or pure relaxation. We’ll also introduce some of our favourite ranges from the Angela Reed Garden Furniture Collection, including the elegant Chilford dining range and the effortlessly laid-back Lynton lounge collection.
Dining or Lounging? Define Your Outdoor Living Goals
Start by thinking about how you want to use your garden. Are you a weekend host, fond of alfresco meals and summer soirées? Or is your outdoor space your personal haven, where peace, quiet and comfy seating matter most?
Matching your furniture to your lifestyle is key. Garden dining sets offer structure for entertaining, while relaxed seating like outdoor sofas and loungers are ideal for laid-back living.

If entertaining is your thing, the Chilford Outdoor Dining Range is built to impress. Crafted from solid acacia wood, these timeless tables and chairs are designed for durability and elegance. Whether you're hosting brunch with friends or dinner under the stars, Chilford's table and sturdy chairs create a warm, inviting setting.
Acacia’s natural oils make it a brilliant choice for weatherproof garden furniture, and its mellow finish only gets better with age. Pair with a parasol and cushions for an elevated dining experience.
