Garden furniture: an open-air living room
A well-furnished terrace is lived in from spring to autumn. The same rules apply as indoors: comfortable seating, a table of the right size and materials that age well.
Furnishing it
For meals, pair an outdoor table with chairs; for relaxing, choose armchairs, a sofa or sun loungers.
Materials and makers
House Doctor and Hübsch favour treated metal and simple lines, Raw Materials solid wood, and Broste Copenhagen pieces with careful finishes.
Your questions
How do I protect garden furniture?
Cover it or bring it in for winter; clean metal with soapy water and oil wood once a year.
What size table suits a terrace?
Allow 60 cm per guest and 80 cm of clearance around it to push chairs back.
