Welcome to The Alfresco Home! We’re a small team based in Telford; we like the outdoors, we like tea, and we have strong views on garden chairs. We believe that the garden is the best room in the house, and absolutely must be celebrated more. Once you get the furniture right you've got yourself a new breakfast spot, an office with panoramic views, or a Friday night dinner table with no reservations needed. What could be better?

What makes us different?

We got tired of garden furniture companies selling us a Mediterranean dream. A sun drenched terrace is undoubtedly lovely, but it’s not quite the garden that most of us have at home. Ours come with wellies as often as flip flops, and we think that’s part of the charm. So we've made it our mission to bring you furniture with materials that are built to last. Not to mention plenty of practical details too, that suit our own climate and spaces. From furniture foot caps that protect against standing water, to fold away designs to make room when it's needed, we've left no stone unturned. We understand that you don’t need wall to wall sunshine to enjoy your garden, though we certainly won’t complain when it turns up. 

We know a good seat, and good sense

We design many of our pieces ourselves, here at The Alfresco Home Headquarters. This involves researching all of our materials in depth, getting to know designs inside out, and collaborating closely with our manufacturing partners. Our other pieces have all been carefully curated to meet our exact specifications. We’ve been sure to put our backsides (as well as our brains) to work. Every piece has been given the sit test and approved by us. What can we say, we have high standards!

More than furniture

Garden furniture is just the start, it's what it allows you to do outside that really matters. It’s the spontaneous alfresco lunches with friends where you set the world to rights. It’s the weekends lounging outdoors with a book and a blanket while the kids fight endlessly play nicely on the lawn. So alongside our furniture collections, you'll find gardening ideas, hosting tips, seasonal inspiration and useful advice to help you get more from your outdoor space.
