Gallery’s bright ideas for outdoor living

Gallery Direct has bolstered its outdoor living catalogue with a new selection of furniture, along with accessories, lighting, textiles and mirrors, enabling customers to create an outdoor area that truly suits their style …

“Over recent years, people have become more focused on designing their outdoor areas, as they do their homes, so they can spend more time outside in stylish additional living spaces,” says Carole Nolan, category manager – outdoor furniture at Gallery Direct.

“We have therefore developed our range of designled outdoor living products to cater for this, with not only furniture but a whole range of accompanying products, to help customers make the most of their outside spaces.”

Gallery’s high-quality Messina pergola is designed to allow users to enjoy their garden for longer. They can let the sunshine in by tilting the roof louvres open, using the handle winder, or close them to offer shade and cover from the rain. The clever design also features a drainage system – the louvres overlap when closed and incorporate drainage, so water runs from them into the frame and then down the inside of the legs, making the roof watertight.

Two sizes of slatted side screens are available separately to accompany the pergola, with different options for position, allowing them to be placed to suit. The pergola and screens are crafted from aluminium with a contemporary black powder-coated finish.

Ideal for use with the pergola or on their own, Gallery offers a varied range of outdoor furniture, including dining sets which have a built-in bioethanol fire pit, so users can enjoy their outdoor space when the sun goes down and on cooler days.

One of these is the contemporary Ancona dining set, which is offered in two seating layouts and two colours. Matching lounge sets and sun loungers are also available, and all feature all-weather fabric on the seats, which is stain, mould and fade resistant, and is padded with quick-drying foam.

For those that prefer rattan, there are more traditional styles, as well as the Ragusa collection which offers a contemporary look. Wide, large seats and extra-thick cushions are combined with 9mm, full rounded weave rattan, to create stylish, chunky pieces. The collection offers two lounge sets, one of which has a corner sofa, and there is also a oneseater module which can be used to extend this.

Gallery’s outdoor lighting and solar lamps are ideal for adding ambience to outdoor areas, while the supplier’s mirrors can be used to make smaller spaces appear larger and to brighten darker corners – before adding warmth and cosiness with outdoor cushions, throws and rugs, and completing the look and adding a touch of personality with accessories.

All of Gallery’s outdoor living products are displayed on its website and in its Outdoor Living Guide, which is available to view online. “So, with warmer weather around the corner, take a look at our offering or contact our sales team to find out more,” concludes Carole.
