Wooden Garden Furniture - Quick Tip
Informal wooden garden furniture blends in beautifully with an attractive garden. Position your furniture to take advantage of the garden’s colours, scents and view. A fragrant climber will add to your enjoyment of the garden as you survey your handiwork.
Fold Away Chairs
Balconies pose a special problem as space is usually limited. Rather than normal garden chairs, consider director’s chairs which can be folded to take indoors.
Design Tip - Design a balcony garden so that there is good access and an area where several people can gather to sit together without fear of falling over plants or pots. This may mean grouping containers together into a few choice areas but the impact will not be diminished.
Bench Seats
Bench tables with integrated seats can be reminiscent of public picnic places but small stylish ones will banish any suggestion of lack of taste. A varnished table will keep its natural appeal which makes it attractive as well as practical.
Design Tip - Avoid placing a rectangular table at right angles to the wall or edge of the paving. It will probably look more pleasing if angled.
