Has anybody else noticed that this summer, most of the days have begun with dull, lifeless, cloudy skies and ended with blue skies and the sun shining through the clouds? Perhaps it is not the end of summer after all. Just as everyone began filling their cupboards with hot chocolate and getting the ski jackets back in easy access for the cold rainy days of autumn, it appears that maybe we were thinking ahead a little too eagerly. In celebration (and hope) of this, let’s talk through some of the best outdoor furniture on the market.

1. Ledbury 3: Rattan Corner Sofa

Prioritising comfort with style and relaxation, one of my favourite pieces of outdoor furniture is Moda Furnishing’s Ledbury 3 Rattan Corner Sofa. This garden sofa provides indoor comfort outside, which is perfect for the changing of seasons when we need a little more cosiness in our lives. Invest in a big blanket for the chillier evenings in the garden and you are all set. Not only does this corner sofa add a little bit of luxury to your garden, but with it seating up to seven people, it will act as the perfect staple piece for your back garden, encouraging social events with your friends and families. Its rattan material has been chosen carefully by Moda Furnishings due to its durability, lack of maintenance and weather resistance. Thanks to these three qualities of rattan, there is no need to put your outdoor furniture away when you are not using it, making life all that much simpler.

2. Conrad Rattan Bistro Set with Drinks Holder

My next choice is Moda Furnishing’s rattan bistro set and drinks cooler from the Conrad collection. The built in drinks cooler is my main reason for choosing this one of a kind set, for obvious reasons. For quieter days where you feel like unwinding with a loved one, this two seater set is perfect. This set is also made from rattan materials and is available in a choice of four different rattan weaves; The mixed brown rattan weave and the natural half round weave have beige cushions whilst the mixed Grey weave and the black weave have light grey cushions (this applies to the Ledbury 3 sofa set above as well).

3. ARC Half Moon Rattan Sofa Set

My third and final choice comes from the ARC collection, also by Moda Furnishings. This half-moon rattan sofa set is definitely the kind of show stopper every character-lacking-garden needs. Comfortably seating twelve people, this furniture set is ideal for the social butterflies of the world who are frequently hosting dinner and garden parties. The set can also be configured in different layouts with no assembly required. If this isn’t enough, this set also has integrated armrests that can be used as drink holders or coolers. What more could you want?
