M&S’s new garden furniture range rivals Aldi for affordability

Priced between £99 and £299, the retailer’s Loft range is ideal for those shopping on a budget

The colourful collection helps inject some vibrancy into your outdoor space (The Independent)

With summer well on the way, many of us are looking for ways to spruce up our garden set-up in time for days spent alfresco.

Whether it’s a hanging egg chair, pizza oven or a gazebo, the right bit of furniture can make all the difference to your outdoor space. And recently, shopping for garden essentials on a budget has been made a whole lot easier by the likes of Aldi, B&M, The Range and now, M&S.

While the stalwart is known for its purse-friendly fashion, it’s a more unlikely contender for affordable furniture – that was, until the launch of its new “Loft” garden range. Priced between £99 and £299, the 26-piece strong collection rivals Aldi for value for money.

Designed to be mixed and matched together, the coordinating range includes rattan-style armchairs, coffee tables and sofas, as well as bistro and dining sets. You’re spoilt for choice in terms of colour, too, with the furniture coming in teal, black, grey, yellow and red hues.

Ticking all our boxes for style and affordability, here’s everything we’re shopping from M&S’s new garden furniture range.

Loft Lois set of 2 armchairs: £119, Marksandspencer.com

(M&S )

A standout from the collection, we love the contemporary feel of these retro-inspired armchairs. Boasting a woven seat that’s suspended from a compact metal frame, the powdered matte finish adds a sleek touch. While we think this sage hue is perfect for injecting some cool colour into your outdoor space, there are also the more muted options of ochre (£119, Marksandspencer.com), teal (£119, Marksandspencer.com), natural (£119, Marksandspencer.com), grey (£119, Marksandspencer.com) and coral (£119, Marksandspencer.com) available.
