A Guide to Garden Furniture by Pagazzi

Turn your garden into a place to relax.

Nothing is more enjoyable than relaxing in your garden while the flowers are in full bloom and the sun is shining down on you. Finding a place to stop and take it all in after planting, carving, trimming, and maintaining your garden is crucial. Many make the mistake of designing seating areas that are either too large, too tiny, or even made of the incorrect material when designing a garden space.

This garden furniture guide will help you work out the best outdoor solution to sit back and relax!

Where to Position Your Garden Furniture - The Balance of Sun and Shade

Size Matters: How Big Should the Furniture Be?

Proportions are important when it comes to seating areas, and the same goes for furniture. Some garden furniture is now larger than indoor living room set. These are great if you have the space, but if you are a bit tight for space, bear in mind that squeezing lots of furniture into a small garden or patio can not only unbalance your space but also make it impossible to pull the chairs out of the table for your guests to seat comfortably.

It's a good idea to measure your space before buying any furniture and assess for what purpose is going to be used. If you have a small space, a small bistro set will look great, even in an apartment balcony or patio. Perfect for an outdoor breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening while you look out.

Social Plastic

The Social Plastic® material is the newest result of our continuous dedication to the health and care of our planet and environment. Made from recycled plastic waste, this material is collected by the local population along the rivers and coasts of South East Asia – who are trained and paid for this – preventing it from entering landfills and ocean. This helps the clean-up of our planet and compensate the people who care for the well-being of their home areas and also supports building sustainable communities.

Our Social Plastic® pieces are made with circularity in mind and can be disassembled and reintroduced to the production circle through re-recycling.

Invest in Outdoor Lighting

One of the biggest trends in recent years and something that will be perfect for your new garden furniture is to hang lights from the walls and nearby trees and bushes. It helps make any evening spent with friends and family simply magical. If you’ve invested in a high-quality set of loungers or a dining set, this can add a lot of atmosphere for a relatively small cost. Today’s solar-powered lights are also super-efficient and extremely low maintenance.
