Choosing outdoor furniture in Ireland isn’t just about comfort – it’s about creating a space that makes you want to live outside (yes, even when it’s cloudy). Whether you’re planning sunny brunches, entertaining guests, or cosy evening chats, pairing your garden furniture with the right paving is the magic sauce for a beautiful outdoor living setup.
Sandstone + Stonework + Deep-Cushioned Lounge Chairs
The rustic texture of sandstone paving pairs seamlessly with these rich, dark wooden garden furniture pieces and a stone fire pit. It feels like a luxurious haven without leaving Dublin.
Top tip: Select outdoor cushions with earthy or mossy tones to complement the natural appearance of the stones. Add a durable table, and you’re set for evenings in the fresh air with family and friends.
Roll-Out Grass + Wooden Garden Sofa Set
Artificial grass or roll-out grass creates a casual, inviting vibe. Combine it with wooden garden furniture for a classic look that’s cosy yet understated.
Top tip: Choose high-quality outdoor furniture made from FSC-certified wood that can withstand the Irish seasons’ swings. Add a few coffee tables for practicality and style.
Porcelain Tiles + Sleek Outdoor Dining Set
Porcelain tiles exude a sleek, contemporary vibe, and they pair beautifully with dark rattan garden furniture and dining sets. This combo is ideal for al fresco dining or long, lazy brunches.
Top tip: Add potted greenery to soften the vibe. This space is perfect to enhance your outdoor living lifestyle and makes an ideal choice for modern homes.
Concrete Slabs + Boxy Rattan Lounge Chairs
Concrete slabs offer a clean, urban canvas. Pair it with boxy rattan garden furniture for a sleek, minimalist outdoor zone.
Top tip: Opt for UV-protected, weather-resistant materials to minimise maintenance. For maximum comfort, layer in soft outdoor cushions in neutral tones.
Porcelain Tiles + Slatted Wooden Lounge Set
Soft grey porcelain contrasts beautifully with crafted warm-toned wooden garden furniture. This mix adds a contemporary yet cosy feel.
Top tip: Use light blue or cream accents to boost the Mediterranean feel. This is the perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun.
Concrete Slabs + Elegant Bistro Set
This compact furniture set brings charm and character to a concrete slab setting. Think balcony elegance with a side of French flair.
Top tip: Opt for sturdy yet lightweight metal sets to make rearranging a breeze. Add a parasol, and you’re set for spring mornings and summer evenings.

FAQ – Patio Furniture Ireland: Your Questions Answered
1. What's the best type of garden furniture for Irish weather?
Ireland’s climate can be unpredictable, so it’s essential to choose high-quality outdoor furniture that’s crafted to withstand moisture, wind, and changing temperatures. Look for UV-protected, weather-resistant materials such as rattan, treated wooden garden furniture, or powder-coated metal.
2. How can I match my garden furniture with my patio paving?
The secret is to create balance in tone and texture. For example, wooden furniture pairs well with limestone or natural stone for a natural look, while modern paving, such as porcelain, complements sleek, modular sets. At Cornerstone Paving, we offer expert advice and inspiration to help you match your paving to your range of garden furniture.
3. Can I leave my garden furniture outside all year round?
Yes – but only if it’s made from high-quality outdoor furniture materials. Rattan furniture with aluminium frames, treated timber, and metal sets with anti-rust coatings are great choices. Use covers and store cushions to protect them across every season.
