Outdoor Living: The Best Online Garden Furniture Stores
Whether you’re working with acres of garden, a terraced yard, a balcony or even a shared patch of grass, after months of being locked down the moment the sun comes out you’re going to want to spend your time outside. Therefore, it’s time to ditch the moulded plastic chairs and upgrade your outdoor space. Here’s our list of the best garden furniture stores.
MADE
Offering premium-quality, modern furniture and furnishings without the eye-watering price tags, MADE.com quickly became an online go-to for those looking to revamp their home. Until it fell into financial difficulty, that is. (Probably weren’t charging enough!)
Having been bought by high-street mainstay Next, MADE is back and better than ever this summer. While a lot of outdoor furniture often follows traditional design and materials, MADE aren’t afraid to experiment with colour, shape and a wide-array of metals, woods and plastics.
Pieces like the Kolbe Garden Sofa and Alif Corner Dining Set channel the fun of brand’s indoors pieces while the Abura and Josper are great-value heating options to help keep the party going well into the evening.

If we were to describe the sort of furniture Maze Living deal in, we’d say premium resort. It’s all sleek fabric, modern design and premium quality. Sitting down is a treat. You know it’ll last and it’s no surprise that Maze’s Rattan Sun Loungers are the most popular in the UK.
