We are counting down the days until it's sunshine every day and we can spend from noon till night in the garden, sunbathing, BBQing, and catching up with friends and family al fresco. However, this is the UK and so it's not exactly promised we'll be getting two solid months of sun, and so while we're itching to invest in a new garden furniture set to spruce up our outside space, we don't want to spend a fortune on a set.
Thankfully George at Asda has a number of on-trend and affordable sets that are ideal for this summer. From a trending butter yellow set under £60 perfect for balconies, to a Love Island-esque curved seating made for a summer get together, there's so many options depending on your budget and style.
Here are our six favourite garden sets available to shop now at Asda.
Butter yellow bistro set
Butter yellow is going nowhere, with the trending yellow shade popping up all over the homeware stores. We love this three piece set that comes with two foldable chairs and a foldable table, so you can easily pop it away when the weather turns.
Sage green four piece set
Sage green is the other trending shade of the moment, and we love that it's now extended to garden furniture too. For under £100 you've got seating for four with two chairs and a bench, and also a matching table. This is the ideal size for smaller gardens where you want seating but don't want it to overtake the space.
Rattan three piece set
Rattan is the material of the summer, with the rustic and chilled out material ideal for garden furniture and outdoor pieces. This three piece set comes in a light blonde rattan, with two matching curved chairs, ideal for relaxing on a Sunday morning in with a coffee. There's also a matching glass table with the matching rattan style underneath the glass.
Charcoal six piece set

You can't go wrong with a classic set of black outdoor furniture, and we're big fans of this set that comes with four galvanised chairs, with matching cushions, a table and a parasol for £176. The best thing about these chairs is they're able to recline, so you can have them up right for a dinner with friends and extend them out for reading in the sun.
Grey stripe set

Grey and White Stripe Cotswold 5 Piece Outdoor Dining Set
Stripes are always on trend and while nearly £300 this set looks like it could be sold for far more. The grey/blue tone of the chairs is a chic alternative to more traditional brighter garden sets. Each chair comes with two cushions and there's a dining table too.
Beige curved set
Santorini Natural Curve 5 Piece Outdoor Sofa Set

Ok so this is definitely at the top end of our budget, however, if we were looking for a more of an investment piece and had more space in our garden, this set would be at the top of our list.
The curved seating is giving major Love Island fire pit vibes and comes in a rich beige tone that would work in a variety of outdoor spaces. It can seat up to six people with the chairs being able to pull apart or kept together in one giant curve. There's also a table that can be separated into two parts, so there's lots of options when it comes to how you want to set yours up.
