It’s my job to look at and test outdoor sofas, so it’s not easy to impress me – but these 8 garden sofas have done it

I’m a big fan of outdoor sofas – and over the past couple of years, their general popularity has been growing as we all want our outdoor spaces to be just as comfortable and cosy as our indoor living rooms. As a Room Decor Editor at Ideal Home, I get to try and see a lot of different sofas, both indoor and outdoor ones – but since I’ve seen it all, only few manage to truly impress me. If you’re looking to buy a garden sofa this year, I’ve rounded up the 8 best outdoor sofas I’ve come across, as well as the best places to shop for outdoor sofas.

I have high standards when it comes to the best garden furniture – in fact, they’re pretty much just as high as when it comes to furniture for your home’s interior. If not higher, since garden furniture, outdoor sofas included, also have to be able to withstand the elements which they’re regularly exposed to.
