Cool and Amazing Furniture for Your Garden

As the summer months quickly approach, we are all beginning to breathe a sigh of relief. After having endured what has proven to be a harsh and cold winter, the frigid temperatures have finally relented and we are looking forward to spending some much-needed time in the relaxing bosom of our sunlit gardens.

Although for some of us relaxing may equate to sipping a cold drink in our favourite lawn chair, others have transformed simple garden furniture into some truly unique and amazing structures.

Let us have a brief look at a few of the coolest pieces that are sure to gain much attention in the months ahead.

An All-Weather Outdoor Bed
Many of us enjoy sleeping under the stars on a cool summer's night, and a covered outdoor bed is a perfect solution to feeling cramped indoors and using untold amounts of electricity on air conditioning. The outdoorsy types can enjoy these comfortable beds that are completely covered on the top and yet have two holes in each side to view a rising moon or a setting sun. If we consider that the mattresses are waterproof and mildew-resistant, these beds may indeed by the ideal escape for those sultry summer evenings.

Hidden Chairs
Homeowners enjoy the personality that a well-placed garden sculpture can offer while valuing a comfortable seating area for two. Why not have both? One of the latest trends in outdoor living is to own garden furniture that can double as an artistic centrepiece when not in use. One such example are two chairs and a table. The rounded chairs interlock atop one another while the table is fastened in between the two. The end result is a nearly circular sculpture that can be disassembled and used as a dining area when desired. Thus, not only is this furniture fully functional, but is also a great space-saver for those with smaller gardens.

Expensive Furniture Outdoors?
Although the idea of placing a valuable piece of Victorian furniture outdoors seems utterly unfeasible, we can still achieve the next best thing. Moulded pieces of Victorian-stye furniture are coated with a weather-resistant rubber polymer. So, dinner guests no longer will be forced to sit outdoors on a rusty set of wrought iron chairs. Instead, they can relax in the lap of luxury in posh elegance. With a wide array of colours to choose from, these unique pieces can help make any outdoor garden feel like the courtyard of a mansion.

Stowaway Furniture
Many of us hate the idea of an unsightly pile of tables and chairs in the corner of our deck. With stowaway furniture, this may soon become a thing of the past. Folding tables and chairs pull out of the deck itself; each completely matching the wooden surface. They can be easily removed and used for any occasion, and after the party is over and the guests depart, these amazing designs can simply be folded up and returned to their original places.

These are but a handful of cool and decidedly amazing designs that can help give a bit of spice and flavour to any outdoor garden or deck area.
