Now that the days are longer and the weather is warming up there is more chance of catching a bit of sun at the end of a working day. Whether it’s dining or just relaxing, there is an amazing array of great outdoor furnishings out there to choose from.

Here are my top tips:

LG outdoor furniture, which is available at Drum Garden Centre has a great offering, providing both a contemporary and classical look. From the granite Alexandria range , the rattan effect Monaco Modular sofas and round dining table and chairs  to the grey aluminium framed modular sets of  the Milan range, all provide  a choice of both contemporary and  classical look.

The Neptune range is available at Tree House at Midmar.  These stylish outdoor furnishings include dining, relaxed seating and occasional seating and come in soft, natural shades in materials such as rattan, metal and teak. Chairs and tables can be bought separately to mix and match, which provides maximum flexibility.

Bridgman have been supplying residential and commercial customers since  the 1980s and can be visited  online at bridgman.co.uk, where you will find a wide range of luxury garden and patio furniture and accessories from patio heaters and parasols to BBQs.

If you are looking for something highly contemporary, try Skyline Design UK where there is wide range of choice. sky-linedesign.co.uk.

The choices out there are endless but these are good start!
