Somewhere To Sit

Gardens should be places to relax in as well as to work in and although a deckchair or lounger on the lawn is a good way to while away a few sunny hours, a patio or balcony garden room should be designed for relaxation and recreation, planned and furnished to become an enticing place to eat or drink al fresco.

No patio or balcony garden is complete without somewhere to sit and the style and materials of the garden furniture used can have a profound effect on how the feature is perceived. No matter how cleverly designed and well constructed the patio, an inappropriate table and chairs can spoil the effect while well chosen seats and tables can make even a mediocre patio look good.
