Outdoor furniture plays a crucial role in creating a welcoming and functional outdoor area, extending the living space of the home and encouraging spending more time outdoors. With a wide range of styles available, outdoor furniture can be tailored to suit any aesthetic and provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living or to add a contrasting style.
Gallery Direct’s catalogue includes a wide range of outdoor furniture for relaxing, dining and entertaining, from compact bistro sets to large lounge and dining sets, along with tables, sun loungers and a range of seating. The Siena collection varies from traditional to contemporary, in a variety of materials to suit different requirements, including teak, rattan and aluminium, with some innovative designs that offer added functionality and practicality.
Its 2025 collection was recently previewed to customers at its At Home event. Among the new lines is the Hvar sofa and swivel chair, made from pale rattan paired with natural-coloured cushions. The design offers a modern twist on rattan furniture, with the chair’s swivel mechanism providing an unusual but luxurious function for outdoor seats. The range also includes a dining chair.
Another contemporary range in the new collection is Rialto. Crafted from wood, the range offers oval and round dining tables and matching chairs, along with a side and coffee table. The bases of the tables feature gently sloping wood slats that create a design feature. These are complemented by the slatted table tops and the seats and backs on the chairs.
For added practicality, Gallery’s new Porto sofa features a fold-down armrest in the centre of the sofa (normally concealed by the middle back cushion), as well as a hinged seat with a lined base below for storage of the cushions. The simple style, in rattan with pale natural-coloured cushions, is designed to suit a wide range of outdoor spaces.
To add a splash of colour to an outdoor area, the Siena chair is made from wood with a painted finish in a choice of bold blue, rich deep red or sage green. It is perfect for relaxing with its gently sloping seat and back.
Gallery’s wide range of designs, from small and compact to expansive and luxurious, ensures there is something suitable, whether customers are looking for furniture for a bijou area or for a large patio. And its outdoor accessories, such as umbrellas, mirrors, lanterns and fire pits, allow much more to be made of the outdoor experience.
