There’s nothing better than relaxing and spending time with family and friends in the garden on a hot summer’s day. And as temperatures start to rise, once again you may you’re your attention turning to the garden and you wonder how you can make the most out of it while the warm weather lasts. A well curated garden gives you the chance to effectively create another room, or an extension of your home, which can be a refreshing and fun change of scenery!

It’s also worth saying that no matter how large or small your outdoor space is, there’s always a way to enhance it and turn it into a place you adore and want to spend time in. And when it comes to summer, great garden furniture is the key to a stylish, relaxing and tastefully curated outdoor space. Here at Taskers of Accrington, we’re experts in furniture, and we know that it can be overwhelming picking out the best garden furniture for the job when you don’t know where to start. So to make life easier, we’ve pulled together our top picks to serve as some inspiration!

How to choose your garden furniture

When it comes to picking the best outdoor furniture for your space, first consider how you currently use your garden (or how you would like to). Are you looking for a tranquil space to unwind and relax, or are you looking for a space to host your family and friends? Maybe the answer is a bit of both!

Outdoor furniture for hosting

If your home is the designated meeting spot for your friends or family and you find yourself hosting them frequently in the summer for BBQs, dinner parties or pool days, then an outdoor dining set is a great choice for you! Remember, your outdoor space is essentially an extension of your home, so if you’ve got a large group of friends we’d recommend our Mambo Santorini Rectangular White Garden Dining Table & 6 Chairs Patterend Top (Set 12). This stunning dining set is perfect for those who want to enjoy an al fresco setting in style and comfort! The contemporary yet modern pattern of the table is inspired by the gorgeous Greek isle of Santorini, and offers ample space for dining and entertaining up to five guests (plus you of course!).

If you enjoy hosting guests but like to keep your gatherings on the smaller, more low-key side, then our Mambo Santorini Square White Garden Dining Table & 4 Chairs Patterned Top is the perfect addition to your space. Combining substance, durability and chicness, this set is perfect for an intimate and comfortable night in the garden with a few close friends or family members. The clean lines and timeless colours of these dining sets are beautiful and made to last, ensuring your garden is always ready for hosting - even after summer has passed!

Outdoor furniture for smaller gardens

Lack of space in no way equals lack of style, especially when it comes to the garden. While there may not be as much space to utilise, small gardens often feel incredibly cosy and comfortable, especially if they’re enhanced in the right ways! So, if your garden is on the smaller side, here’s what we’d recommend!

For hosts and small families, we’d recommend our Calligaris Outdoor Dix CB4804-FD 90 E Circular Table. This stylish circle dining table is perfect for conserving space, especially when paired with the Calligaris Outdoor Academy CB2142-E Wood Frame Chairs which will neatly tuck under. This timeless and beautiful set can complement any patio, yard or garden space and make an excellent backdrop for a BBQ, summer buffet-style meal or cocktails. This circular table will allow you to comfortably seat guests or family without feeling cramped, despite it not taking up a great deal of space - a win-win!

Outdoor furniture for a family garden

Apart from that, we’d suggest an outdoor sofa. Outdoor sofas are ideal for recreating the feel of a living room in the garden - perfect if you need to keep your eyes on the kids while you’re relaxing! When it comes to outdoor sofas we love the Calligaris Outdoor Yo CB3501-3P E 3 Seater Sofa. It’s plush, spacious, and has a comfortable amount of room for up to three people. Pair this chic rattan style sofa with the matching chairs to form a beautiful and harmonious outdoor seating area for the whole family to enjoy!
