Furnishing the Garden and Terrace - Discover the Guide
Furnishing the Garden or Terrace — Buying Guide
Furnishing the garden or terrace is not just an aesthetic matter: it is an act of care for your living space. Your home's outdoor area — whether it is a large garden with a pool, a sunny patio or a city terrace — deserves the same attention and the same quality as the interior. In this guide, we help you find the garden set, outdoor lounge set or outdoor armchair that best suits your needs, your space and your style.
Outdoor furniture is one of the most significant investments for improving everyday quality of life. A good garden set or a well-chosen outdoor lounge set transforms a space that is often overlooked into a true outdoor room — a place to host guests, read, relax or simply enjoy a little peace and quiet. The key is to understand the characteristics of your space and match the right outdoor furniture to your lifestyle habits.
In this guide, we have divided the advice by type of space: garden, garden with pool and terrace. For each area, you will find practical suggestions and a selection of quality outdoor furniture designed to last over time without compromising on design.
01 — Garden: how to furnish your garden with style and functionality
The garden is the ultimate outdoor space: spacious, natural, full of potential. The first question to ask when thinking about how to furnish the garden is not about style, but function. How do you want to use that space? For hosting guests in the evening? For Sunday family lunches? For a private reading corner? The answer shapes everything else.
When it comes to outdoor furniture, a well-organized garden includes at least three elements: a lounge area for relaxing, a dining area and — if space allows — a more intimate, secluded corner. For the relaxation area, an outdoor lounge set consisting of a sofa and armchairs is the most versatile and welcoming solution.
Practical tip: Before buying any outdoor furniture, measure the available space and mark out the set's footprint on the lawn or paving with painter's tape. This simple step avoids the risk of choosing furniture that is too large or too small for the available area.
Aven Set — Contemporary design and premium comfort
For medium and large gardens with a contemporary, refined feel, the Aven Set represents one of the most complete choices among high-end outdoor furniture. The navy blue steel frame, enhanced by 40 mm outdoor woven rope and light teak-effect acacia wood inserts, creates a rare visual balance: contemporary without being cold, natural without being rustic.
The wide, structured weave wraps around the seats, creating a welcoming and refined effect, perfect for high-end outdoor spaces. The light teak-effect acacia wood inserts add a warm, natural contrast, making the set extremely versatile in different aesthetic settings — from a Mediterranean stone garden to a modern patio with stoneware flooring.
The outdoor sofas in the Aven set are designed to withstand intensive use in every season: the navy blue Serval Olefin fabric cushions, treated with a water-repellent finish and made with quick-drying padding, remain ready to use even after a sudden rain shower. The navy blue shade pairs perfectly with the green of the lawn or natural stone surfaces, making it ideal for gardens with a modern, Mediterranean feel.
Composition: 2-seater sofa + 2 armchairs Materials: Navy blue steel · 40 mm outdoor woven rope · Light teak-effect acacia inserts · Waterproof Serval Olefin cushions
Olin Set — Nature, craftsmanship, and timeless style
If your garden has a warmer, more natural character, with organic materials such as terracotta, bamboo, or raw stone, the Olin Set is the garden set that fits in most harmoniously. The natural acacia wood frame highlights the deep grain of the material, giving the set an authentic, warm charm that only real materials can offer.
Further enhancing the design is the seat in woven round rope, carefully crafted to provide visual lightness, durability, and a handcrafted touch with strong decorative impact. The distinctive tub silhouette, with flared rear legs, gives the Olin Set a strong visual personality while maintaining an elegant, never overpowering profile.
The light grey cushions in 100% polyester fabric strike the perfect balance: neutral enough to suit any setting, bright enough not to get lost in very green or naturalistic gardens. A true outdoor lounge designed for those who love authentic materials and an aesthetic with a contemporary, timeless taste.
Composition: Sofa + 2 armchairs + coffee table Materials: Natural acacia wood · Braided round rope · Light gray cushions in 100% polyester
02 — Garden with Pool: outdoor furniture for the pool area
A garden with a pool is a space that requires special attention when choosing outdoor furniture. Outdoor furniture in this area must face specific challenges: constant exposure to humidity and water splashes, for example. Not all materials withstand this set of stresses in the same way.
The golden rule for the pool area is to choose outdoor furniture with certified materials, sturdy frames, and cushions with removable, washable covers. The ideal configuration for this area is a modular, corner garden set, capable of creating a visual dialogue with the pool without obstructing the spaces for movement around it.
Style tip: For pool areas, always choose light or natural tones for cushions and upholstery — white, cream, pearl gray — which evoke the feeling of a resort and resist fading from chlorination better than saturated colors.
Numa Set — The corner sofa for enjoying the pool like a resort
The Numa Set is the outdoor lounge designed exactly for this type of setting. Its L-shaped corner configuration — made up of 2 side sofas, a corner module, and a low table — creates a natural scenic backdrop around the pool area, defining the lounge space without building physical barriers.
The low, clean lines, combined with the matching coffee table, define a harmonious ensemble with a premium character, ideal for moments of relaxation, outdoor conversations, or pleasant aperitifs with company. The charm of solid acacia wood is expressed in its natural grain and light teak-effect tone, which gives the set an authentic, timeless elegance.
Choosing FSC®-certified acacia is not just an aesthetic detail: it guarantees that it comes from responsibly managed forests, an increasingly important aspect for those choosing sustainable, mindful outdoor furniture. The natural grain of the solid wood in a light teak tone recalls the atmosphere of the finest Mediterranean resorts, creating that "pool hotel" effect even in a private garden.
The off-white cushions with removable covers are practical to manage and maintain a fresh, sophisticated look season after season. A garden set that is both a style choice and a practical solution for enjoying the pool every day with elegance and simplicity.
Composition: 2 side sofas + corner module + low table Materials: FSC® solid acacia wood · Light teak-effect finish · Off-white/cream cushions · Removable covers
03 — Terrace: outdoor furniture when every square meter counts
The terrace is perhaps the most challenging outdoor space to furnish. It has fixed boundaries, it is not always possible to modify the flooring, and it is more exposed to wind and neighbors than a private garden. And yet, with the right choice of outdoor furniture, it can become the most lived-in and loved place in the whole house.
The first distinction to make is between medium-sized terraces and small terraces. In the first case, an outdoor lounge set made up of two armchairs and a small table is the most effective and striking solution. In the second, it is better to focus on a single piece with strong aesthetic and functional impact — such as a designer lounge armchair with integrated footrest.
Vesper — Lounge armchair for medium-sized terraces
The Vesper outdoor armchair is the ideal piece for anyone who wants to create a quality relaxation corner on a terrace with a bit of space. The powder-coated aluminum frame — light enough to move but sturdy against the elements — makes it practical for those who use the terrace dynamically, moving it depending on the shade or the daylight.
The slate gray woven rope seat adds texture and personality to outdoor décor without visually weighing down the space. On a terrace, choosing woven surfaces instead of solid materials is always a good strategy: they create the impression of more space, allow air to circulate, and have a highly valuable decorative effect.
Perfect both for indoor use and as designer outdoor furniture, the Vesper armchair combines durable materials, refined aesthetics, and everyday functionality. Two Vesper armchairs placed beside a low table create a complete, compact, and extremely elegant terrace set, ideal for terraces from 8 m² upwards.
Materials: Powder-coated aluminum · Slate gray woven rope · Coordinated padded polyester cushion Use: Indoor & outdoor
Boel — Relaxation armchair with footrest for compact spaces
For small terraces, where every centimetre needs to be used to the fullest, the Boel outdoor relaxation armchair with footrest is a brilliant solution. A single piece that brings together everything needed for relaxation: a comfortable seat, ergonomic backrest, integrated footrest, and included cushion.
The black powder-coated metal frame is sturdy and visually neat — on a small terrace, visual cleanliness is essential to avoid creating a sense of overcrowding. The backrest, seat, and footrest surface in braided rope give Boel an airy, refined visual effect that lightens the perception of space even in the tightest corners.
The padded cushion with a water-repellent cover completes the piece with comfort and everyday practicality. The Boel armchair is suitable for protected outdoor spaces and is ideal for reading, relaxing, or simply enjoying time outdoors.
Style tip: On terraces under 10 m², choose monochromatic outdoor furniture or at most two shades. The black of the Boel frame pairs perfectly with light porcelain stoneware flooring, outdoor wood, or grey resin. Add a potted plant to bring in greenery without taking up floor space.
Materials: Black powder-coated metal · Braided rope · Water-repellent padded cushion
The final touch: add a hammock to your outdoor space
There is one element that, more than any other, transforms a garden or terrace into a place of true escape: the hammock. It is not simply an outdoor accessory — it is a statement of intent. It means that space is dedicated to genuine pleasure, without haste, without screens.
If your garden has two trees that are sturdy enough and spaced apart, or if your terrace has a wooden structure, a pergola, or two fixed wall anchoring points, then the Remo outdoor hammock is the perfect addition to your outdoor furniture.
Remo — L'cotton hammock that completes any outdoor space
The elegant blue-toned stripes of the Remo hammock bring a fresh, refined character, perfect for gardens, terraces, verandas, and shaded outdoor areas. Made of high-quality cotton with a small percentage of polyester to improve the fabric's durability, it offers a soft, breathable surface ideal for summer days.
The metal rings reinforce the ends of the ropes, ensuring stable and secure fastening. With a maximum capacity of up to 200 kg, the Remo hammock is designed to offer comfort and reliability, both as a hammock for everyday relaxation and as a decorative element that enhances the atmosphere of the outdoor space.
The blue stripes pair naturally with any green setting and work perfectly with both the Aven Set and the Numa Set, creating a coordinated arrangement with strong visual impact.
Materials: High-quality cotton + polyester · Reinforced metal rings Maximum capacity: 200 kg
