If you will be doing a lot of alfresco dining you will probably need a table and chairs set. A table with six chairs is considerably bigger than one with just four so think carefully about how often those extra two chairs will be needed.

When shopping for garden furniture sets, make sure that the chairs will go all the way under the table so that you can pack it away it as much as possible when it’s not in use. Alternatively get chairs that will stack on top of one another so you can put them to one side if necessary. Keep a look out for tables that will fold away or where the top can be detached in case you decide to store it.

High backed chairs take up less space than chairs with armrests and will be easier to stack. You can always make them more comfy with seat cushions.

If your space won’t allow for a full dining table, you could always opt for a small bistro style table with just two chairs or even four chairs. These are particularly useful for balcony spaces. There are some lovely bistro tables available.

If you prefer to use your outdoor retreat for a spot of sun worshipping, reading and time out, you might want to forgo the table and chairs for a sun lounger.
