Does garden furniture have to match? 

Just like inside our home, garden furniture doesn’t have to match to make an impact. Mixing and matching furniture is actually a strong way to incorporate individualism into your final garden design. 

While dining chairs and tables look better as a uniform set, they don’t have to be identical in style to other garden seating choices or outdoor accessories. Simply choosing pieces that have a similar aesthetic to each other, such as rustic woods or ultra-modern metals, can effectively create a cohesive look across your garden space. 

You can also tie everything together with your choice of cushions and throws to bring a sense of synergy while enjoying the personality and intrigue of different furniture pieces. 

Can I leave outdoor dining furniture out all year? 

Certain types of garden dining furniture can be left out all year. Materials like aluminium or water-resistant synthetic materials may fare better in all weathers compared to particular metals that may rust. Look out for pieces that are marketed as UV-resistant or weatherproof. 

Every piece of furniture will come with different guidance, so ensure you are familiar with the recommendations for your own furniture. It may be worth covering or storing seats and tables when they are not in use as general good practice to protect them from rain, insects and falling debris.
