Bistro furniture garden – these 3 words are to outdoor spaces as do-re-me is to music. There is perhaps, no other furniture style that evokes more romanticism than the french bistro set, yet it is one of the most practical designs that fits well in a small carved out corner of the cottage garden as easily as it does en mass at a thriving cafe. With graceful curves that are interesting yet simple, a bistro set can be placed under a tree as a resting place for a glass of wine at sunset, or placed in an eclectic mix of other wrought iron pieces, all done up in complimentary fabric cushions for an interesting look on a reasonable budget.
Bistro Furniture can be purchased new from quality manufacturers such as Woodard, which is one of the few remaining and one of the most well established maker of fine wrought iron furniture in the U.S. or French made Fermob, which has a wide array of collections from the classic to modern in new bright colors for a delightful and refreshing take. Etsy is a great resource too for some great finds on vintage and new artisan Bistro Furniture. If you are lucky enough to run across an antique set at a flea market or antique store, some truly beautiful treasures can be found at still very reasonable prices. I keep a few bistro chairs on hand when entertaining for extra seating. They are perfect and blend with all of the other outdoor furniture. With that in mind here are a few of our favorite curated pieces via Etsy.
