9 Table & Chair Garden Sets for WFH This Summer

Many of us have got used to working from home – it’s such a norm these days that it even has its own acronym (WFH). Our spaces have been adapted and restyled to accommodate little nooks where we can manage our days and we’ve all become comfortable with Zoom meetings in our slippers. But as spring grows warmer and gardens beckon, it might be time to think about moving our desks outdoors. Soaking up the sunshine on a balcony or patio during office hours will ease your stress, and it's been proven that working outdoors helps your cognitive focus, improves creativity and leads to more efficient problem-solving.

Before you launch yourself into the fabulous fresh air, creating a relaxing atmosphere is key. So here are some hot tips, tricks and things to consider along with our favourite garden furniture offerings that are sure to fit the bill.

Preparing for work outdoors

Planning your new alfresco HQ is a serious business. Here’s a checklist to get you started.

Find the perfect spot

Whether it's on your porch or under a tree, make sure that you’re in a convenient setting. Think about shelter options and easy access to a power point. You don’t want to get caught in the rain while wrestling with yards of extension cables.

Assess your tech

Just because you’re working from your garden doesn’t mean you shouldn’t maintain your professionalism. We suggest you kit yourself out with these 3 ingenious innovations.

1. A monitor hood to reduce the glare on your phone, tablet or computer screen.

2. A quality headset that will ensure you don’t get interrupted by barking dogs, loud trucks or weed-eaters during those inevitable virtual meetings.

3. An ergonomic mousepad to relieve strain on your wrists and arms.

WFH-friendly table & chair garden sets

While shopping for WFH table and chair garden sets, take stock of everything you use at your normal desk and then factor in the following considerations.

• Size: Will you be working alone or sharing your space?

• Comfort: Good back support and plush padding is a necessity.

• Height: If your work involves constant engagement with a laptop, make sure you won’t have to slouch over it.

• Durability: Find something that will last for decades and be robust enough to withstand inclement weather. If you’re unsure, consult our Guide to buying contemporary garden furniture.

Small outdoor table & chair sets

Small metal or wooden table and chair sets are an excellent choice and most resemble what you would normally sit at in an indoor office. They are big enough to accommodate a workspace for one including a laptop, notepad, some stationery and a hot cup of coffee. Here are 3 of our favourites: The Esedra outdoor table from Ethimo is part of a customisable collection that unites aluminium and teak to create warm, inviting aesthetics. They also have a beautiful selection of chairs that will give you all the support you need, such as the gorgeous Ribot chair

Skyline Design’s Tivoli square bar table proffers a sturdy base from which to work and ergonomic chairs that will keep you comfortable for hours. Its tight rattan weave is weather-resistant and easy to maintain, making it a worthwhile investment.

With its roomy dimensions, the Flair table by Atmosphera makes the perfect office desk. And sporting a structure in sophisticated white or smart graphite aluminium, not only is it visually pleasing, but it will last a lifetime.

Large outdoor tables & chairs

If you work with a team or have frequent board meetings with colleagues or clients, then a large outdoor table and chairs is an ideal option. Double it up as a dining space for family and friends over weekends. The Essence Alu outdoor table by Talenti is a simple yet elegant offering in white aluminium. It provides a welcoming, convivial space in which to work and entertain and can be paired with either benches or chairs depending on its purpose.

Flexform’s Levante dining table comprises a captivating blend of iroko wood and stainless steel that brings refinement to any outdoor space. The structure can be powder coated in white, wine red or khaki green to suit your individual taste or can be left natural with a burnished finish.

Roda produces luxurious offerings that seamlessly marry indoor and outdoor aesthetics in a graceful, harmonious way. Their Plein Air table with its drop shape and stoneware top provides the perfect backdrop for a discerning outdoor office environment.

Round outdoor tables & chairs

If your job is more on the creative side and you need space for drawing boards or art materials, a round outdoor table is just the ticket. They are also ideal for relaxed, informal discussions and after-work drinks. Fatboy is known for their fun, fashion-forward furniture that brings a bit of chic cheek to your outdoor spaces. This XL industrial green coffee table is both spacious and durable and can be paired with a shade umbrella if needed.

Roberti Rattan has created the striking Capri range which looks gloriously good whether it’s in your garden or enclosed in a stylish sunroom. The Capri outdoor table is an ideal size if you work alone but need a bit of extra capacity for casual gatherings.

Made from solid Asian teak, the ample proportions of the Desert table by Atmosphera is perfect for conferences and larger projects. It comfortably seats six guests, is beautiful to look at and can be combined with a number of elegant chair options.
