Are you thinking about renovating your garden furniture but don't know where to start? Garden chairs are essential elements for creating a welcoming and well-kept space, perfect for hosting friends during an afternoon party, but also for enjoying a relaxing morning alone with a book. Among the most comfortable seating options to choose for your outdoor area, we find plastic garden chairs. Colourful or transparent, they pair well with wooden tables as well as iron furnishings. Let’s see how to choose them according to your needs.
Outdoor spaces are designed not only for functionality, but if cared for and properly planned, they can become an additional area of comfort and socialising for those who live in the home. A garden is everyone's dream. It adds value to the house, allows us to enjoy the outdoor space daily, and define it however we like by creating little corners for relaxing and spending time with our family and friends.
How to furnish a garden: practical tips
To furnish a garden, you first need to be inspired by an aesthetic you like, so that you can immediately find the right furnishings. You can opt for a cozy style like boho chic, very popular because it allows you to create welcoming spaces without giving up a touch of sophistication, or go for a simple and minimal design, very trendy in recent years. Once the style is defined, maybe look for inspiration in interior design magazines and blogs for new ideas, then move on to choosing outdoor furniture and, above all, designing different zones.
A relaxation area will be a must-have, or a green space with plants and flowers—ideal if you have a green thumb or want to try your hand at gardening. You can also carve out a barbecue area, especially if you enjoy organising outdoor dinners and Sunday lunches with family or friends. Moreover, if you have small children, you could create a safe play area with outdoor toys.
In addition to choosing the furniture, always pay attention to the lighting by creating a safe and functional lighting system and integrating multiple lamps to correctly illuminate all areas of your garden.
Among the garden furniture to buy, tables and chairs will not be missing.
Plastic garden chairs: when to choose them
Plastic chairs are practical and functional furniture items designed for those looking for modern and trendy décor for their home. These seats are suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces, offer great value for money, and are resistant, comfortable, and suitable for any furniture style.
In our catalogue we have various types. They can be made of resin, polycarbonate, or polyurethane. You’ll find coloured chairs, transparent plastic chairs, plastic chairs combined with other materials (like wood or metal). They can be padded, fabric-covered, foldable, stackable, and we can even make them more comfortable by adding a cushion to the seat. The backrests of plastic chairs can be wide, as can the seats, but there are also plastic garden chairs with a minimalist design.

Outdoor plastic chairs
Plastic outdoor chairs are suitable not only for the garden, but also for other outdoor spaces such as balconies and small terraces. Here, you’ll want to choose sturdy chairs designed to withstand the elements, so they don’t fade or warp in the sun, or get damaged by rain or snow. Stackable options are especially recommended for outdoor use, particularly if space is limited.
In terms of design and color, the choice depends on the style you’ve chosen for your outdoor area and, of course, your personal preferences.
This year, colorful seating paired with furniture in different materials—such as plastic chairs with wooden tables—is trending.
What are the advantages of plastic outdoor chairs?
They are comfortable, durable, and versatile, as they can be customized to suit all tastes and needs. These chairs are lightweight, easy to move, and space-saving thanks to the availability of stackable models. Additionally, they require little maintenance, are easy to clean, and if stored properly, can last for many years.

How can you keep a plastic garden chair looking new over time? Cleaning is key—especially when it comes to choosing the right products. Use cleaners specifically designed for plastic surfaces and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material. Degreasers or a mix of water and mild soap are usually sufficient.
For washing, opt for soft cloths or non-abrasive sponges, and be sure to rinse thoroughly. Finally, dry the chairs with a soft cloth to avoid water spots and streaks.
