Bring out the comfortable seatingyour cushions cushions, a pretty coffee table ! Bandi Design shares 6 decorating tips for to create a modern, welcoming garden furniture area.
1. Find the ideal location for your outdoor seating area
A flat surface
First of all, you need to decide where you’re going to place your seating area. Are you going to set it up on part of your terrace, by the pool or in a remote corner of the garden? The choice is yours! The important thing is to choose a place with a flat, tiled or parquet surface.
On the terrace
The terrace is the most practical place: the floor is already tiled and your garden furniture is in continuity with the rest of the house. Would you like to mix a cocktail or read a book? You’re just one step away! What’s more, if you have a roof terrace, your garden furniture will be well protected from the elements and the sun.
Around the pool
Do you have an outdoor pool? You can set up your lounge area right next to it! But be careful not to confuse the “deckchair” area, where you dry off after a dip in the pool, with the “lounge” area. The latter is furnished with comfortable armchairs. It’s the ideal place to relax and enjoy a drink with friends, while keeping an eye on the kids in the pool!
In a remote corner of the garden
If you want ultra-cozy garden furniture for a moment of zen, you can set up your living room in a secluded corner of the garden. In the shade of the trees, by the pond, it’s the ideal place to read a book in summer without being disturbed.
2. Set up your garden furniture area with comfortable seating
The star of any living room? The sofa, of course! But beware: you don’t choose a sofa for the outdoors the same way you choose one for your home. It has to look good and be comfortable, but it also has to be strong and durable.
To achieve this, choose materials that can withstand both the passage of time and the weather. For example, forget plastic and opt for aluminum. Choose cushions with removable covers for easy cleaning.
When it comes to style, it’s best to opt for a timeless design that you’ll never tire of. Neutral colors like chalk white or taupe gray are both soft and warm.
Don’t hesitate to add benches and armchairs to ensure there’s enough seating for the whole family and guests! Visit Tooon chairs and Bandi benches are perfect for this purpose. Their elegant design will add a designer touch to your garden furniture. Made of aluminum, they are suitable for outdoor use.
3. Make your exterior cosier with pretty textiles
Fabrics are essential for adding style and personality to your living room! Cushions, chair covers, plaids and rugs will make your space more cocooning and comfortable. Choose a theme: ethnic, floral, bohemian, contemporary… and mix patterns and colors to create a harmonious, modern ensemble.
You can also add a few poufs made from dralon, the ideal material for outdoor equipment. It resists water and splashes, as well as stains and UV rays.
4. Add a designer coffee table
Whether it’s for reading a book, watching a film outdoors or holding a cup of tea (or mug of beer, it’s up to you), a coffee table is an essential part of your garden furniture. It’s also a great place to serve aperitifs and zakouski when you’re out with friends!

5. Don't forget to shade your garden furniture
There are many ways of staying in the shade: terrace roofs, pergolas, parasols… If you choose the last option, we recommend you opt for an offset, square parasol. This model frees up floor space and facilitates circulation. A classic canvas model with an aluminum frame will look great. You can hang pretty lanterns for a relaxing evening atmosphere.
