A more contemporary take on a bistro set, this woven design is perfect for a small space. With cushions on both the seat and the back of the chair, it's the perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon.

There's been a move towards sleek metal finishes on corner sets of late. More modern, but still with plenty of cushions to ensure maximum comfort, lighter colours also give it a softer look.

The ultimate chill-out option, ensure you have plenty of well-stuffed cushions in this hanging chair and let the mechanism gently lull you into a state of total relaxation.  

Rising tables are such a versatile set-up – just keep it low for lounging and raise it up for dining. Not only does it save on space, it also means you don't have to spend money on more than one piece.

This timeless design is all about the decorative metalwork. The contrast with the white cushions translates into a more formal look, which would work just as well in a conservatory as on a lawn.

PE rattan is weather-resistant, hard-wearing and doesn't fade. As well as offering corner seating for casual entertaining, the table in these designs rises, which allows for multiple options.

We love these deep-seated corner sofas – just add some throws, scatter cushions and an outdoor rug to cosy up the look. In our opinion, classic rattan works best.

The rope look offers a natural, textured alternative and because most brands are using PE materials, the set will hold up in all weathers. It also comes with neutral cushions for an understated look.

These two sets are neat in size, but are strong in both form and function. Occasional stools are a great addition when you have more people to accommodate, too.

Putting a Scandi twist on outdoor seating, this sofa set would be great in a corner where relaxed seating is required. It's especially well-suited to contemporary garden or outdoor spaces.
