Garden furniture: how to choose them?
We often concentrate on furnishing the interior of our homes in the best way, forgetting that what everyone really sees are the outdoor spaces. Gardens and terraces, therefore, deserve our attention and must be furnished with style, to avoid making trivial mistakes and making them appear devoid of personality.
Choosing the right garden furniture is hard, especially since today it is easy to come across outdoor furniture and accessories at low prices and often of poor quality. So we get carried away and end up furnishing our garden as if it were one of the many green spaces in the catalog.
Our goal, instead, is to guide you in choosing the right furniture for the outdoor spaces of your home. Because good taste always goes hand in hand with good Made in Italy design and it takes just a few tricks to buy style and quality furniture at the right price.
Here is our advice: always choose a few outdoor furnishings, functional to your purposes, without sacrificing quality. How do you do it? Designing your garden and dedicating yourself to finding the most suitable furniture. The steps to follow are:
- Design your garden, even broadly, by providing different spaces according to their intended use (eg relaxation, recreation, gardening, etc)
- Identify the furniture and accessories you need for each of the spaces you have designed and create a list
- Start by doing a targeted online search based on your list
- Buy online the pieces you like best

The secrets to furnish the garden with style
The rules to follow are more or less the same as those for interior furnishing.
The first password to follow is continuity. If you choose a style try to respect it in all the spaces of the garden, so as to avoid the mixed effect that creates chaos and is an indication of bad taste. However, this does not prevent you from mixing materials and colors.
Our advice is to identify a neutral main color to be used as the basis for your garden furniture and focus on bright colors (only for some accessories), so as to create movement and strike the gaze of guests and passers-by.
The second password is practicality. Every piece of furniture and garden accessory must respond effectively to your needs. Every outdoor space, in fact, must be designed on the specific function you have identified and the furnishings must help you to fully realize the project.
Our advice is to avoid poor quality materials and prefer eco-friendly and durable raw materials. So respect the environment and invest in garden furniture that will live long.
The third and final keyword is personality. Don’t forget that everyone, guests and passers-by, first see the exterior of your home. Garden included. Therefore, it is important that in furnishing you put your personality, transmitting what you care about.
Our advice is to choose furniture and garden furnishing accessories that will set off an emotion in you. Do not rely only on fashions (those pass quickly) or on the advice you find around. As for a good book or a dress, the furnishings should reflect your personality and get you excited whenever you see them.
