Garden chairs that set the scene outdoors
Garden chairs shape the way an outdoor space looks, feels and comes to life. A slender metal silhouette can bring definition to a contemporary terrace, woven polyrattan introduces tactile warmth, and wooden garden chairs create a more natural expression. Plastic garden chairs offer another route to clean lines and confident colour. Whether arranged around a dining table or positioned as a quiet pair on the patio, the right chairs give every outdoor moment a setting, from slow morning coffee to dinner that continues as the light begins to fade.

How to choose garden chairs
Begin with how the chairs will be used, then consider their proportions within the available space:
- Measure the full footprint: Check the width, depth and height of each chair. Allow additional room behind dining chairs so they can be pulled away from the table without interrupting a doorway or main walkway.
- Compare chair and table proportions: Seat height affects the dining position, while armrest height determines whether a chair can sit beneath the tabletop. Always compare the individual measurements of both pieces.
- Choose the silhouette: Armrests create a more enveloping outline, while chairs without armrests can appear lighter and may be easier to position closely around a table.
- Plan for storage: Folding garden chairs suit spaces where seating needs to be stored compactly. Stackable and folding designs are different, so check the product description rather than assuming one feature includes the other.
- Confirm the set size: Garden chairs may be sold individually or as chair-only sets. Check the product title and included pieces before planning the complete arrangement.
Measuring tip: Mark the chair width and its pulled-out depth on the ground before deciding how many seats will fit. This provides a more realistic picture than measuring the table alone.
Choose a material and mood
| Material | Visual character | What to check | Styling direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal | Clean, defined and often visually light | Review the finish, cleaning guidance and storage instructions for the individual chair. | Pair with a simple garden table and restrained colours for a crisp modern setting. |
| Plastic | Smooth, sculptural and available in neutral or expressive colour | Confirm outdoor suitability and follow the recommended cleaning instructions. | Use plastic garden chairs as a tonal continuation of the space or introduce one confident colour. |
| Polyrattan | Woven, textural and relaxed | Check the frame material as well as the care and storage guidance. | Layer beige, brown or green tones with outdoor textiles for a softer boho-inspired composition. |
| Wood and solid wood | Warm, natural-looking and rich in grain | Review the finish and any product-specific maintenance, covering or seasonal storage instructions. | Combine wooden garden chairs with white or beige accents for a calm Scandi or classic mood. |
Build the outdoor setting around your chairs
- For dining outdoors: Arrange garden chairs around one of our garden tables, checking the tabletop, leg position and chair measurements before bringing the pieces together.
- For slower moments: A garden armchair creates a more generous place to sit, while garden benches introduce shared seating with a strong horizontal silhouette.
- For reclining in the sun: Explore sun loungers and deck chairs when the space is intended more for relaxation than dining.
- For the finishing layers: Position garden side tables beside individual seats, then introduce outdoor cushions or an outdoor rug to connect the arrangement. Garden storage offers a dedicated place for suitable accessories when they are not in use.
A considered approach to outdoor seating
Our garden chair collection moves from clean modern profiles to woven boho texture, understated Scandi influences and occasional classic forms. Rather than matching every outdoor element, repeat one colour, material or line across the chairs, table and accessories. This creates a coherent setting while allowing each piece to retain its own character. Detailed measurements, materials and care instructions on the product page provide the practical information needed to make a considered choice.
Frequently asked questions about garden chairs
How do I know how many garden chairs will fit around my table? Measure the usable edges of the tabletop and note where its legs or base may limit seating. Compare this space with the width of each chair, including its armrests, and leave enough room for people to sit down and move the chairs comfortably.
Is a garden table included with garden chairs? Not necessarily. Garden chairs may be sold individually or in chair-only sets, while a garden table and chairs set is a separate product configuration. Check the product title, set size and list of included pieces before ordering.
Should garden dining chairs have armrests? Chairs with armrests can create a more enveloping and substantial dining arrangement. Designs without armrests have a lighter silhouette and can be simpler to position around a compact table. Check that any armrests will fit comfortably beneath or alongside the tabletop.
Are folding and stackable garden chairs the same? No. Folding garden chairs close on a hinged frame, while stackable chairs are shaped to sit securely above one another. Both can reduce the space required for storage, but the relevant feature must be confirmed in the individual product description.
Can garden chairs remain outside throughout the year?
Whether a garden chair can remain outside throughout the year depends on its materials, finish and individual care instructions. Check the product guidance for exposure to rain, sunlight and frost, as well as any recommendations for covering or seasonal storage. For broader maintenance advice, see our outdoor furniture care guide.
How can I make garden chairs feel more inviting? Add correctly sized outdoor cushions where suitable, using colour to connect the seating with nearby planters, tableware or an outdoor rug. A tonal arrangement feels calm and composed, while one brighter accent can give the dining area a more playful summer character.
