Whether you have a sliver of a balcony or a sprawling country garden, the sunnier months of the year raise the question of how to make the most of the space you have. After all, summer means spending more time outdoors, inviting more friends and family over, and enjoying your lot. However, the change in season also raises the question of where to buy the very best garden furniture, but luckily, this year, you need not look further than high street favourite, Rowen and Wren.
Eight things to buy
Rowen and Wren are going from strength to strength in the large furnishing space, but for a small injection of their style, their terracotta pots are unbeatable. Available at reasonable prices and in appealing shapes, we're imagining a duo of the Athena Pot flanking a doorway. Alternatively, if you have a little more room, we love the tiered plant stand for a stylish display.
Better to suited to a garden room, these handmade rattan pieces are finished in a stylish, muted sage colour, and are ideal for any transitional room between the house and the garden. Style the sofa with a selection of patterned cushions to make it your own.
A garden isn't complete without a charming table for hosting outdoor feasts or quiet lunches for one on. The Ludlow table is a smart, durable option with a powder coated finish that will become more characterful as it's exposed the the elements. It has a hole and stand for a parasol too, so why not pair it with the Polperro parasol?
Don't miss the finishing touches to elevate your al fresco dinners and lazy summer lunches; Rowen & Wren also stock a lovely selection of crockery, glassware and table linen. The Lyle set of glasses and matching wooden carrier is perfect for shuttling a fresh flight of iced lemonades from kitchen to garden, and the simple lace-trimmed tablecloth is breezy and elegant.
Naturally you'll need a garden bench or some chairs to sit at and the Ludlow chairs and bench are a great choice. The best part is both items can be folded down and stored away–ideal for small city flats.
