Grey balcony sets or grey bistro sets?

Let’s talk grey balcony sets and grey bistro sets. What’s the difference and why do you need to know? Read on.

A balcony used to mean a veranda, like you see with Victorian houses and high rise flats, a very small space sometimes just a few feet long and very narrow. These days people also use the word ‘balcony’ to describe what’s effectively a deck or raised patio, which is why our balcony sets suit small patios and decked areas so well.

Some of our balcony sets have four chairs and a table. Others have two chairs and a table, and if you think that sounds just like a bistro set, you’re quite right. Balcony and bistro sets are more or less interchangeable.

When there’s a genuine balcony attached to your house or flat, one of our balcony sets might be the perfect solution. When it’s a really small balcony or veranda, one of our bistro sets might fit the space better.

Whether you go bistro or balcony, measure carefully to make sure there’s room not just for the set itself but to safely move around it without doing yourself a mischief. The same goes if you have a small deck or patio: measure first, decide second.

Let’s talk grey

Why go grey? Grey is the ultimate in cool right now, inside and outside the home. Grey never clashes. You can put as many greys together as you like and they look wonderful. Grey is definitely the new black, as they say. And that’s why we’ve focused on grey garden furniture.

Here are some splendid sets for you to choose from, perfect for verandas and balconies, patios and decks.

That’s the tip of the iceberg. We also have some brilliantly colourful bistro sets in jewel-like colours made to funky 1950s-inspired designs, just the thing for colour fiends. Happy shopping!
