Garden seats are no longer just a functional addition to the garden, but are actually features of your garden design.  While swing seats are very popular for porches and patios, the garden seat which can take the shape of a garden bench, kneeler, small tale or cushioned planter are making splashes in the garden.

The garden swing is an ever popular option for any garden, particularly if you have children.  Swings are fun, romantic and a great place to just wind down after a long day, but they are often very difficult to move and don’t always make the most versatile seating option.  Garden benches and garden recliners are great for offering seating for more than one and can add a little extra to the overall look of the garden, but it is the humble garden seat that is the most versatile piece of garden furniture that you can invest in.

Some of the most popular seat designs available online are the Janice Minor Moroccan Style Garden Seat which can be sourced through Nieman Marcus or Horchow for $590 inclusive of free shipping.  If your garden is not that fancy, you could opt for something a little more duel purpose such as the Williams Soma Home Garden Seat which can also be used as a side table and comes in an attractive wicker material.  This design retails for around $250.

Alternatively you could design to go for something special with an even better price.  The Rosewood Garden Seat which can work s a seat, a plant stand or a side table and can be found through Amazon for just $160.  Remember to research all reviews on the products that you are interested in to ensure that the quality of manufacture is as good as the pictures depict.

While these items are smaller and more versatile, you may wish to invest in some small attractive cushions to increase their comfort level and add that little something unique that every garden deserves.
