Best garden furniture 2020

There's nothing more soul-soothing than eating alfresco on a balmy, blue-skied day and, whether you're eating as a pair, solo, or with a big brood, there's an outdoor dining set to suit everyone.

Habitat's new collaboration with the Rich brothers has organic, earthy textures covered, as well as colour-pop bistro sets, which you can also find over at John Lewis. Statement luxury tables and sets for all the family can be found at Barker & Stonehouse and Rust Collections while, if it's affordable chic you're after, Argos Home and Amazon are always a safe bet. Head over to Cox & Cox for all things Scandi if you like your furniture Nordic but nice.
