Outdoor furniture ideas for small gardens

Outdoor furniture ideas for small gardens

Living in a big city like London can often mean limitations on the size of our own private outdoor space, resulting in us having to give a little extra thought when it comes to making the best of the garden areas available to us. The good news is, whether it’s a small garden or small patio, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy your outdoor space provided you choose garden furniture that is well suited or easily adaptable to smaller spaces. Thankfully, there is no need to sacrifice style or comfort to find outdoor furniture that is perfect for small decked areas, or tables and chairs that are fashionably designed with a balcony in mind.

Stackable outdoor furniture

Forest Chairs

Garden chairs that are designed to be easily stacked together are a great choice for a small garden. You can make use of the number of chairs you need for that particular moment, while the rest can remain neatly stacked out of the way instead of cluttering up valuable space. Stacking chairs together is one way to really maximise small spaces, while having enough seating on hand for when it’s required. They are also ideal for off-season storage if the garden chairs are unlikely to be used during colder seasons. For an eye-catching collection of stackable chairs that offers style and plenty of comfort, we’re a big fan of the Forest Chair. This delicately designed garden chair is inspired by the forms of nature, and it’s available in 8 different colours.

Foldable outdoor furniture

Like stackable furniture, foldable garden tables and chairs are also a great choice for those looking to keep a small garden clear when furniture isn’t in use. The Plein Air table and Plein Air chairs are a great example of small foldable furniture that are perfectly designed for tight outdoor areas. They are a great choice due to their lightness and mobility, making them easy to fold and store away. The design is also classic and robustly built with steel, so it can serve you and your garden well for many years.

Don’t forget the storage

Box WallWhen considering ways to utilise small garden spaces in the best way possible, it’s not all about the garden furniture and how you’re going to store it. There are other items that are used in the garden, too, and making smart garden storage choices for these items can ensure your garden remains clutter free with everything having its rightful home. Outdoor shelving systems, weather proof wall boxes and outdoor storage boxes are great choices to consider in a small garden. With these storage solutions you can keep accessories like blankets, tableware and outdoor lighting safe and close at hand, while maximising your outdoor living space.
