Choosing your garden's best fit: seating materials
Garden seating comes in a delightful array of materials, each bringing its own character and charm to your outdoor space. Let's take a closer look at the different materials and what they offer to your garden's vibe:
Wood: The classic choice. Wood has a timeless appeal, offering warmth, durability and a natural aesthetic that blends seamlessly with any garden setting. From sturdy oak to soft pine, wooden garden furniture can range from the rustic to the refined, aging gracefully over time to tell its own story.
Bamboo: For a touch of the exotic. Bamboo is incredibly lightweight and strong. Its unique texture and natural finish add a tropical flair to your garden, great for creating a relaxed, holiday-like atmosphere right in your own backyard.
Rattan: The traditional favourite. Rattan garden furniture is loved for its intricate weaves and natural look, bringing a cosy, laid-back feel to any outdoor space. While genuine rattan is best suited for sheltered areas to protect it from the elements, it's great for adding a touch of elegance to patios and conservatories.
Poly rattan: The modern twist on a classic. Poly rattan offers the same beautiful look as natural rattan but with added durability and resistance to weather, making it ideal for the unpredictable UK climate. It's easy to clean, fade-resistant and available in a wide range of styles and colours, making it a popular choice for outdoor furniture.
Ceramic: For a splash of artistry. Ceramic stools or side tables can double as garden seating, providing a unique and colourful accent that's both practical and decorative. Glazed ceramic pieces are weather-resistant and can add a burst of colour and texture to your garden.
Metal: The sturdy and versatile option. Metal garden furniture ranges from wrought iron's intricate designs to aluminium's sleek, modern frames. Metal is durable, easy to maintain and can be painted or treated to resist rust and wear, making it a great choice for both classic and modern garden designs.
Plastic: Plastic chairs and tables are lightweight, waterproof and come in various fun colours. While not as durable or elegant as some other materials, they're great for adding a quick and colourful update to your garden without breaking the bank.
Steel: For industrial chic. Steel furniture is incredibly strong and durable, often featuring minimalist designs that add a modern touch to your outdoor space. Treated steel can resist rust and weathering, making it a sturdy choice for those looking for a sleek, contemporary look in their garden.
Caring for your lovely garden seating
Caring for your garden seating ensures it remains a delightful part of your outdoor sanctuary for years. Regardless of material, some universal tips can help maintain their charm and functionality.
Firstly, regular cleaning is key; a soft brush or cloth can remove debris, while mild soap and water can tackle most stains. For wooden and bamboo pieces, applying a protective sealant annually can prevent weather damage and maintain their natural beauty. Metal and steel furnishings benefit from occasional rust checks, with rust-resistant paint applied as needed to keep them looking fresh. Poly rattan and plastic items, celebrated for their durability, simply require a wipe-down to fend off dirt and grime. Regarding fabrics, like cushions or seat covers, ensure they’re weather-resistant: if not, store them indoors when not in use.
Lastly, during harsh weather conditions or the winter months, consider using protective covers or storing your furniture in a dry, sheltered place. A little care can go a long way in extending the life and beauty of your garden seating, making every outdoor moment as enjoyable as the last.
Don’t forget these additions to your garden
Creating the ideal garden oasis doesn’t stop at seating. There are more garden furniture that can enhance the functionality and ambience of your outdoor space:
Tables: A crucial companion to your seating, garden tables come in various sizes and styles, from coffee tables for your lounge area to large dining tables for al fresco meals. They’re practical and can also be a focal point in your garden design.
Lighting: The right outdoor lighting can transform your garden into an enchanting evening retreat. Solar-powered lights are a smart option offering a soft glow along pathways or around seating areas. String lights or lanterns can add a magical touch, making your garden a cosy place to unwind after dark.
Parasols: For those sunny days, a parasol can be absolutely essential. It not only provides shade, keeping you cool and protected from UV rays, but also adds a decorative element. With various designs and sizes, you can find one that complements your garden’s style while offering practical benefits.
