From loungers to love seats and benches to hammocks, there’s no end of choices – which is why we’re here to help. We’ve rounded up the very best ideas for garden seating to help you choose. So, whether you’re looking for somewhere to sit in the sun or share a quiet breakfast with the family – find everything you need to know right here.

Worship the sun with a luxury lounger

Summer’s here and the sun is shining, which means there’s no better time to put your feet up with a new outdoor seat. If you’re ready for the ultimate in modern outdoor relaxation, our luxurious sun loungers have everything you could hope for, blending comfort and style to keep your garden on top of the latest trends.

From fashionable folding wooden recliners to our luxurious rattan loungers with moveable headrests, we’ve got a seat to suit every garden and budget – meaning you can focus on simply relaxing all afternoon long.

Add a chic seating space with a garden bench

A garden bench might seem like a basic starting point for your garden seating, but the sheer choice and variety on offer makes it anything but. From stripped back wooden designs to intricate steel shapes, it’s easy to find a style to suit your garden’s look – or even something to build your outdoors around, like our stunning pine bench with flower-ready planters at either end.

Most importantly, the right bench not only adds to your garden’s decor, but gives you the perfect vantage point to enjoy the rest of your garden from too.

Try a bistro set for your back yard

If you’re a fan of outdoor dining and stylish seating, it’s time to enjoy them together from the comfort of your own back yard with a beautiful bistro set. Combining comfortable chairs with a matching table, they make a wonderful addition to any garden, patio or balcony – with the option of storing it all away once you’re finished too.

Here at Homebase, we’ve got plenty of space-saving bistro sets in wood, metal and rattan designs – all offering an elegant and hardwearing way to give your garden some extra seating with added style.

Discover your DIY dream with a pallet seat

The trend for transforming everyday household objects into outdoor chic has never been stronger, and this is your chance to get onboard. With pallet garden furniture, you can build garden seating that fits whatever size, shape and style you like – so it’s easier than ever to make sure it matches your garden’s design. Fun and functional, a truly bespoke piece of furniture is only a few short DIY steps away.

From palettes to paint, you’ll find everything you need to build and style your seating at Homebase. All you have to do is decide what you want to make.

Embrace flexible seating with colourful bean bags

Fun with the whole family in the garden can be tiring work, but now you can make it easier than ever with a few outdoor bean bags. Comfortable, heavy-duty and easy to clean, they’re the ideal addition to any garden – ready to be picked up and rearranged wherever you want.

And if you’re worried about finding bean bags to fit in with your garden’s décor – don’t be. At Homebase, we’ve got a huge range of outdoor beans bags to choose from, with a kaleidoscope of colours and sizes to match. From classic browns and blacks to lime, pink and aqua, it’s easy to find just what you need.

Make room for relaxing with a garden sofa set

Whether you’re making the most of a courtyard corner with a long L-shaped seat or embracing your space on the patio with a lounge set, garden sofas are the perfect way to give your outdoors an extra dimension. Pairing plenty of comfortable seating with a few easy-to-rearrange elements, sofas can be your solution to everything from alfresco dining to all-day relaxing.

If it’s casual entertaining you’re after, our rattan sofa sets are ideal for enjoying all day – with space for plenty and a dining table for drinks, nibbles and more.

Imagine being beside the seaside in a deckchair

There’s something truly iconic about the design of a deckchair – bringing back memories of long sunny days and eating ice cream at the seaside. So, if you feel like you want to bring a sense of stylish nostalgia to your garden, a deckchair might be just what you need. Whether you prefer a plastic, wood or metal design, there’s no better way to while away a few hours outdoors.

At Homebase, you can even take your deckchair dreams to the next level – as we’ve got designs that will elevate your garden too, with eucalyptus wood and a range of dazzling colours.

Have an afternoon off with a super-soft hammock

If you’re looking for the ultimate in garden relaxation, look no further. There’s no better feeling than lying in a hammock, snoozing in the sunshine with a soft breeze. Most of us won’t have two handy trees to tie a hammock between, but transforming your garden into a tropical paradise is simple with a stand and frame – meaning you can enjoy a sun-drenched siesta any time of day.

Most hammocks are made from canvas, but if you want to try the best of both worlds – our B Hammocks have harnessed the super-soft cotton power of our legendary bean bags for all-new levels of relaxation.

Leave your stress behind with a swing seat

Reading nook, napping spot or simple stress relief – there are a million and one ways to use a swing seat in your garden. All we know is, you’re sure to enjoy being in one! Whether you prefer a single-seater hanging chair design or a swing bench for the whole family – let the seat’s gentle rocking strip away the day’s worries and transport you to a faraway beach in the summer sun.

Offering shade and style at the same time, we’ve got a whole host of swing seats with canopies included – with plenty of eye-catching colours and designs to choose from.

Share a chair with a cosy love seat

Bring a little romance back to your garden by sharing a glass of wine or some nibbles over a beautiful sunset with a love seat set. Traditionally made from wood or metal, there’s something truly special about companion seats – with two comfortable seats joined by a small table, perfect for resting books, food or drinks on.

Available reclined or upright, there are plenty of stunning love seats to choose from at Homebase, from beautiful eucalyptus hardwood to smaller and cosier softwood styles. All you have to do is pick the style that suits you.
