Struggling for space in your garden or patio area? Perhaps you’re limited to a balcony or terrace? Let’s be honest, this can be a real problem when you’re trying to find furniture that fits comfortably without taking up all of the space available. Luckily, IOL has plenty of outdoor seating for small spaces that won’t look clunky or out of place. Our smaller garden furniture pieces might be compact in size, but they’re certainly big on comfort and convenience. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at our best outdoor seating ideas for small spaces:

Kettler Cassis Balcony Set

It’s not called a balcony set for nothing! The sleek Kettler Cassis Balcony Set features a slim design so that it can be easily placed on balconies, as well as smaller decking and patio areas. This modern metal garden furniture set features two comfy chairs with elegant synthetic rope on their backs, and an oval shaped table that’s topped with durable glass in grey. It might be pretty, but that doesn’t mean it’s not tough – the cast aluminium has been powder coated to protect against weather and oxidisation, plus inherently won’t rust (you’ll just need to store the cushions inside or in a storage box during the winter). When not in use, the two chairs slot neatly underneath the table so that they’re out of the way.

Kettler Palma Mini Dining Corner Set

Entertaining in small gardens doesn’t need to be stressful with the right set up. Say goodbye to cramped and awkward gatherings with the Mini Dining Corner Set from Kettler. This is among IOL’s best outdoor seating for small spaces due to its corner shape and design. The set can be tucked neatly into snug corners, freeing up the rest of your garden or patio area, helping to make the space feel brighter and more open. This sofa set is made up of two modular sofas that can be assembled together or set apart, as well as two compact dining stools. An elegant mini slat table offers just the right amount of surface space for your favourite snacks and beverages, and is easy to wipe clean in case of spillages. One of the main benefits of the Kettler Palma corner sets is the weatherproof wicker rattan that’s durable against sunshine, and rain, whilst remaining stylish at all times.

Bramblecrest Tetbury Teardrop Single Cocoon

For ultimate R&R goals, this garden swing seat from Bramblecrest is quite frankly an essential. Lined with the comfiest season proof cushions, this swing seat is designed in an inventive teardrop shape that cocoons you as you swing gently back and forth in the sunshine. Sounds like bliss, right? The innovative teardrop shape of the seat also makes it slimline and therefore perfectly suited to compact areas. The hang frame, which is made from weather-resistant powder coated steel, is lightweight and easy to move around when you need to make space for other furniture or more people when hosting gatherings. Definitely among our best outdoor seating for small spaces, the teardrop cocoon garden swing seat creates a unique focal point that’s also charmingly cosy and comfy.

Kettler Surf Active Folding Lounger

Who said small outdoor spaces aren’t good for sunbathing? The best sunbathing sessions require the ultimate lounger, and if you’re struggling for space, this practical folding sun lounger might just be the perfect solution. The reason we’ve included this sun lounger in our best outdoor seating for small spaces roundup is due to its slimline design and ability to fold down compactly. It also features two mobility wheels so that you can move it around the garden as you please. However, one of our favourite features of this garden sun lounger has to be the unlimited reclining options. Unlike other adjustable loungers, the reclining angles are not preconfigured. This means you can adjust the lounger to quite literally any angle you find most comfortable.

Just because your outdoor space is small, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make a big impression. Why not wow your guests with this innovative fire pit dining set? We couldn’t exclude this from our list of the best outdoor seating for small spaces for many reasons. For one, the integrated fire pit table is perfect for keeping you cosy all evening long, whilst creating a real ‘wow’ factor. In addition to this, the sleek design of course fits beautifully into smaller spaces, without compromising on comfort. The modular corner sofas and stools are fitted with plump, season proof cushions, and can be arranged to fit in snug corners or brought into the centre of the patio area. It might be compact, but this garden sofa set actually sits up to 6 people comfortably.
