The Importance of Having a Well-Styled Garden

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

These days, looks are everything. People always want to impress friends, neighbours and acquaintances. One of the best ways to do this is to have a home that’s perfectly styled. Your garden is an incredibly important part of that. As well as keeping it neat and tidy, garden furniture sets and accessories should always be invested in.

Achieving the right look shouldn’t be too difficult either. There are plenty of garden accessories that are sure to add something to your outside space, and keeping everything congruent and stylish will guarantee that you create the right effect. Get different pieces of furniture in the same wood, and if you use soft furnishings (such as garden cushions) then keep the colours in the same palette, as this will draw the whole garden together for a stunning look.

Having teak garden furniture sets is also a sure-fire way to impress. Teak is an incredibly attractive wood, oozing quality and style, and you’re bound to get some admiring glances from anyone that sees such stunning furniture in your garden. You’ll need the table and chairs, but don’t forget the umbrella and any other seating areas as well – keep everything teak and you can’t go wrong.

Having a well-styled garden really is important in this day and age, as people place an awful lot of emphasis on looks and image. If you want to upgrade yours, make sure to invest in some stunning garden furniture sets and related accessories, ideally by coming to us here at Chic Teak, and get ready to be admired.

Throw the Perfect Barbeque with Teak Garden Furniture at the Helm

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

You may think that throwing the perfect barbeque is all about the food, but in reality it comes down to a whole lot more than that. You want your guests to be comfortable but you also want them to be impressed with your garden and your home as a whole, and one of the best ways to achieve this is with teak garden furniture.

Teak garden furniture oozes a sense of sophistication and style, and unlike plastic versions will always look high quality. Teak is incredibly durable so it can be used for years without having any problems with it, and being such an attractive wood means that it’s ideal if you really want to show off.

It’s very functional as well. It’s important that you have a garden table that’s big enough, and luckily you can get extendable versions if you’ve got a particularly long guest list. There’ll be styles and designs to suit everyone, so no matter what your preference is there’ll be a table to suit.

You need to think about the seating arrangements too, and it’s important that you’ve got enough seats for everyone to be happy. Traditional teak garden chairs are ideal, but if you need more space then consider benches or even cushions for something more informal, but no less pleasing.

So, to throw the perfect barbeque you need some teak garden furniture at your disposal. Not only does it look great but it’s also incredibly usable and versatile. Here at Chic Teak, we know how beneficial this type of furniture can be, which is why we stock a fantastic collection. Why not come and look around?

Good for the Environment As Well As For You

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Here at Chic Teak, we take our obligations and responsibilities seriously. We want to provide you with the best quality garden furniture sets possible, but we want to do it in a sustainable, economic and environmentally friendly way. We’re confident that we’ve managed to achieve this, and we think you will be too.

Our first and most important priority is to only ever source the wood for our garden furniture sets from sustainable plantations in Indonesia. Teak has long been sourced by cutting down rainforest trees, but thankfully in recent years it’s been winding down. It still operates in some areas, but by supporting sustainable plantations we’re striving to put unethical and illegal loggers out of business to keep the rainforest going.

We also take good care of our teak, letting it mature for long enough and only using the heart of the tree to create a superior product. This not only does the teak good but it also does you good as well – by sourcing the wood from the right places at the right time, you get garden tables, chairs and related accessories that are of a much higher quality than you otherwise would.

But, it doesn’t stop there. We also take care of our employees, and we’re proud to say that our Indonesian plantations (all government-run to strict regulations) provide valuable jobs, security and income to local people.

As you can see, here at Chic Teak we really do care about the environment and about everyone who comes into contact with our products, including you, the customer. To see just how much care we put in, take a look at our range of teak garden furniture and you’ll soon realise what we do.

Types of Garden Furniture You Need to Consider

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Everyone puts a great deal of thought into furnishing their home, but they often overlook the garden. This can be a huge mistake, as a perfectly designed garden can really add a sense of style, and here at Chic Teak we understand that. That’s why we have a fantastic range of garden furniture sets and accessories, and here are just a few of the options to whet your appetite.

•    Teak garden furniture. Teak is a stunning wood and its properties (durability, hard wearing, great looks…) make it the ideal material for garden furniture, and it should definitely be considered if you really want to make a statement in your garden.

•    Coffee tables. These add some much-needed surface space without having to take up so much room as a bigger table, so are perfect if you’ve got a smaller garden or even if you’ve just got one or two people coming over for a catch up.

•    Wooden swing seats/hammocks/cushions. These offer a great alternative to traditional chairs and are sure to be noticed, creating a real talking point and adding something different and unique to your garden.

•    Reclining wooden chairs. Reclining chairs are the ultimate way to relax, and being made of wood makes them even more sought after. Make them comfier still with accompanying cushions, and enjoy the sunshine throughout the summer.

These are just a few types of garden furniture that you always need to consider, and there are many more besides. Here at Chic Teak we stock all of these options and more, so whether you’re after teak garden furniture or just about anything else make sure to see what we can offer.

What Makes Teak Such Great Garden Furniture?

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

There are plenty of different types of wood you could use for garden furniture sets, but here at Chic Teak we think that, unsurprisingly, teak is the only option. But just what makes teak such a great material for this type of furniture?

•    It’s durable. Teak is amazingly hard wearing and can withstand anything that the elements can throw at it, which makes it perfect for outdoor use. The natural oils in the wood make it resistant to rot, insects and other damage caused by the dampness or the humidity, meaning that it can be kept outside throughout the year without having to worry.

•    It looks great. Teak is a very close grained wood which gives it a stunning finish, creating a smooth look that’s hard to achieve with other varieties. This means it’s perfect for people that want their furniture to ooze quality and style, and with teak garden furniture sets that’s certainly what you’ll achieve.

•    It’s an extremely high quality hardwood. Not only does this give it a superior finish, but it also means it can be used for any type of furniture required, from garden coffee tables to hammock seats. It can stand up to an awful lot of use, and as this furniture is sure to be popular that can only be a good thing.

These are just a few reasons that teak is such a great material for garden furniture sets, and we think you’ll agree that it should be your only choice. If you need a bit more convincing, then make sure to have a look through our fantastic range of furniture here at Chic Teak. We’re confident that you’ll soon come around to our way of thinking.
