Garden Corner Sofas

1. How to choose the right size garden corner sofa for an outdoor space?

Finding the right garden corner sofa depends on the available space and seating needs. Measuring the area accurately ensures a good fit while allowing enough room for movement and additional furniture.

Compact designs suit smaller patios or balconies, seating 2-3 people, while larger L-shaped or U-shaped options can accommodate 4-6 or more. Modular sofas offer flexibility, allowing for custom configurations. Factoring in legroom and layout preferences helps in making the best choice for both comfort and functionality.

2. What accessories enhance the comfort and style of a garden corner sofa?

A garden corner sofa can be elevated with stylish and practical accessories, such as:

• Weather-resistant cushions and throws add comfort, while decorative pillows bring a personal touch.
• Side tables provide a handy spot for drinks and snacks, and an outdoor rug helps define the seating area.
• Soft lighting, such as solar lanterns or fairy lights, creates a cosy ambience for evening gatherings.
• A parasol or pergola offers shade, making the space more enjoyable during sunny days.

3. How to maintain and clean a garden corner sofa?

Regular upkeep keeps a garden corner sofa looking its best for years. PE rattan sofas can be wiped down with warm soapy water, while wooden options may require annual oiling to protect against weather damage. Metal frames benefit from occasional rust-proofing treatments.

Cushion covers should be removable and machine washable where possible. Storing cushions in a dry place and using protective covers during bad weather helps maintain quality and durability.

4. Can a garden corner sofa be left outside during winter?

Most garden corner sofas are built to endure outdoor conditions, but extra protection during winter is recommended:

• Waterproof covers shield against rain, snow, and debris, helping to prevent damage.
• Cushions should be stored indoors to avoid moisture buildup and mildew.
• If space allows, moving the sofa to a sheltered area or garage can further extend its lifespan.
• Weather-resistant materials like aluminium or PE rattan offer better durability for year-round use.
