Top-tier rattan garden furniture arrangements for an fashionable seating arrangement
Rattan garden furniture has become a popular choice for homeowners looking to enhance their outdoor living spaces. Whether you're aiming for a modern or rustic aesthetic, rattan furniture fits seamlessly into both garden schemes.
There's an extensive range of rattan garden furniture options available, catering to various preferences and needs. From bistro sets and sofas to daybeds, corner sets with fire pits, and more, brands such as Cox & Cox, Shackletons, and EnviroBuild offer a variety of designs.
One standout piece is the 4 Seasons Outdoor Valentine Double Sunbed, a two-seater daybed perfect for relaxation. Made of synthetic wicker material, this outdoor furniture is easy to clean, durable, and resistant to UV rays, with weatherproof cushions.
For those seeking a larger seating option, the Livingstone 5-Seater Brown Rattan Sofa Set & Footstool from EnviroBuild is a fantastic choice. Crafted from recycled PE plastic using a natural weave, this set features machine-washable cushion covers made of high-quality waterproof materials, all for £999.99.
The Wentworth Rattan Hanging Pod Chair offers a unique design with unusual woven rattan detailing and a crisp contemporary silhouette. For those seeking shelter on sunny days, the Argenta Rattan Effect Day Sofa features a large canopy, plush cushions, and a rattan-effect base with blush tones.
To ensure your rattan furniture remains in excellent condition for many years, it's advisable to use a furniture cover, especially during winter months when it won't be used.
Rattan and faux-rattan are the most popular choices for garden furniture, with rattan-effect wicker furniture being a popular choice due to its durability and weather-resistant qualities. The best rattan garden furniture can survive being outside all year round, requiring less cleaning compared to other materials. Soft furnishings may not be as durable as the rattan furniture itself and should be moved inside for cooler and damper months.
Rattan furniture comes in a selection of chic neutral colours, making it easy to match with existing outdoor décor. The Skala XL Arm Chair, made from weatherproof PE rattan over an aluminium frame, is one such example.
For compact spaces like patios and balconies, the Rattan Wicker Bistro Patio Set is a suitable choice. This bottle-shaped bistro set is made from all-weather synthetic rattan wicker, with the chairs stackable and the table sitting neatly on top of the interlocking seats.
For a cosy corner to gather around, the Wentworth Corner Set with fire pit includes a fire pit table operated by a dial on the side panel, a gas tank hidden in the base, a glass surround for safety, and firestones.
It's important to note that wicker is not a material but a technique used to make products out of materials such as rattan, willow, or bamboo, by weaving them when wet. Rattan-effect wicker furniture is a popular choice for garden furniture.
For those seeking a simple and chic lounging sofa, the Palermo Corner Set from Cox & Cox's Palermo range could be the perfect addition to your garden. For a more antique look, the Como Natural Antique Corner Set offers a warm-toned woven finish and beige, water-resistant cushions.
Most rattan furniture pieces use 'rattan-effect' plastic to survive outdoors all year round. Manufacturers offering rattan-like garden furniture suitable for year-round outdoor use typically provide furniture made from Polyrattan (synthetic rattan), which is durable and weather-resistant. Brands like OBI, Möbelix (e.g., James Wood Gartengarnitur), and Hornbach offer furniture sets made from synthetic materials designed to withstand moisture and outdoor conditions throughout the year.
Lastly, the Eden lounger is a huge lounge chair designed to stand up to the elements, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a sturdy and stylish outdoor seating option.
