Recreate the comfort of your regular living room sofa outside. Cool Outdoor Chairs
In the summer months your garden often becomes the most utilised part of your home. From evening BBQs to summer soirées, this social space has so many uses, so it's important your garden furniture is both functional and, of course, comfy.
'Outdoor corner sofas have become increasingly popular due to demand for all-year-round garden entertaining. With a laidback design, garden corner sofas perfectly recreate the comfort of your regular living room sofa outside,' says Martin Waller, founder of Andrew Martin.
The L-shape design is ideal for seating plenty of people when hosting. Smaller outdoor corner sofas, or chaise sofas, fit around four people, whereas larger corner sofas (especially modular options) can fit up to seven or eight people.
Because of how many people a corner sofa can seat, you might assume they take up a lot of space. Yet outdoor corner sofas actually help to free up floor space for smaller gardens or balconies. Think about it – two separate sofas often take up a large area, whereas a space-saving corner sofa can tuck neatly into a corner of your garden.
This is especially the case for modular sofas, according to Andrew: 'If you choose a sectional design, you'll always be able to create the perfect seating for your outdoor area, no matter its size. Simply move the sections into gaps that work for your space for plenty of sociable seating.'
