1. Classic corner rattan set

The Hamilton furniture range from B&Q gives off Bridgerton vibes, yet sports a rust-free aluminium frame and water and stain-repellent cushions that are easy to maintain. The Hamilton Steeple rattan-effect eight seater garden furniture set (£1,350 from B&Q), offers a corner sofa with deep seats, a square, height-adjustable table that can function as a coffee or dining table, and two benches. It comes with a five-year guarantee.

2. Compact set with chaise

This Habitat compact steel and rattan-effect sofa with storage stool (£360 from Argos) is a stylish addition to any outdoor space. It comes with six wipe-clean cream cushions, to which you can add a splash of boho-chic with some patterned cushions and cosy throws. Lift the stool lid to store a blanket or candles. Plus, detachable legs make it easy to store.

3. Space-saving daybed

This three-in-one Oxford rattan daybed set from Cuckooland (£695) can be arranged in several ways. Push the armchairs and footstools together to create a daybed, separate them with the coffee table to create two loungers, or use the footstools as extra seating to accommodate four as a lounge set. You can also stack it all up when not in use to save space.

4. Modular sofa set

This stylish Cancun modular rattan garden furniture set (£649 from Dunelm) is made from rattan, steel and glass. The four-seater set has a coffee table, left-arm sofa, right-arm sofa, two armless modular sofas and two footrests, which you can arrange and rearrange as suits your al fresco entertaining needs. Plush cushions offer added comfort.

It’s made from handwoven rattan-effect PE weaves over a steel frame coated with anti-corrosion coating and grey cushions.
