We sell oodles of rattan effect and wooden garden furniture. But we’ve also found some excellent metal garden furniture that suit our style. Here are three beautiful metal garden furniture delights to tempt you, add cool to your outdoor space, keep things comfortable, and cleverly make a smaller garden look bigger.
How does metal garden furniture make a space look bigger?
Metal outdoor furniture isn’t chunky. You don’t need to design chunky structures because metals are strong. Being more delicate-looking than wooden or resin weave garden furniture, the look is more airy. You can see through it easily to the views beyond, making the most of the space. It’s a neat visual trick to make the most of limited spaces.
Top metal garden furniture seller – The Alberoni Tree Seat
Here’s a round of applause for the Alberoni outdoor tree bench, a particularly attractive tree seat with a distressed brown finish. Made from strong cast iron, the design is surprisingly fine with its church window inspired back. The legs, each with a curve at the foot, have a gothic feel. It’ll look like it’s been in your garden forever.
Can you see how the background shines through the slim metal structure, which is hardly there? Your views aren’t interrupted, and that’s what makes the area look bigger. If you had a solid, thick wooden tree bench in a small garden it’d look intrusive, closing the space in and making it feel smaller.
Tip: Measure your tree before buying – so you know for sure the Alberoni tree bench will sit comfortably around the trunk.
Always popular – The Provins dining chair
The Provins dining chair is a sleek and simple metal garden chair with a smart black finish. It’s tough and strong but like the chair above, it doesn’t look clunky. Steel makes it a tough cookie despite looking so simple. It’s open and free-feeling with a clear space-enhancing impact. The best thing is, you can buy as many as you need. You’re not restricted to a set. Grab two, eight, twelve, whatever, to entertain your tribe in comfort and style without cluttering your small garden.
Easy-going styling – The Calenta Mosaic Fire Bowl Table
The Calenta Mosaic Fire Bowl Table keeps things colourful with curved tube steel legs and an integral steel firebowl with a mesh lid. The mosaic parts are made from tough resin in a design inspired by ancient Mexican patterns. Use it as a fire or BBQ, or as a decorative table – just put the mosaic disc on top to cover the fire pit.
Again, you can see how the airy metal structure lets light through and reveals views beyond, giving you the impression of a larger garden.
