If you answered mostly A then you’re likely to have a family that keeps you busy, so you don’t have much time to spend on maintaining your garden. As your outdoor space is likely to be full of trampolines and goalkeeper nets, you’ll want a simple garden layout with sturdy garden furniture. A solid wood and metal-framed outdoor dining set with additional stools is an ideal solution for welcoming family over for a Sunday BBQ.
If you answered mostly B then you’re likely to be an older or green-fingered couple who love spending time in the garden. Whether you’re retired or gardening is your favourite hobby, your main focus is on growing an array of different plants. So, your garden furniture needs to blend in with the background and provide relaxation after a long day of weeding. Choose a woven-effect garden bench and chairs with a low table to enjoy a cup of tea.
If you answered mostly C then you’re likely to be buying furniture for a statement garden with cascading flowers, plants, shrubs and grasses. Your garden is your sanctuary and a place of quiet contemplation after a long day. You might use the space for wellbeing activities, such as yoga or meditation. Choose a gorgeous hanging egg chair for relaxation or an elegant metal-framed garden bench and chairs with table that exudes sophistication.
If you answered mostly D then you’re likely to be looking for versatile furniture with plenty of room for you to stretch out and sunbathe during summer. Your garden has clean lines and striking features, from pools to outdoor statues and pergolas. Your garden also needs to accommodate an ever-changing number of guests, so you need enough seats. Choose a designer-inspired, corner sofa bench with a metal-frame, wooden slats and seat cushions.
