The best garden set for a family is one you can clean easily, that stands up to daily use, seats everyone comfortably and can be protected when you're not using it. The Bruges range was designed with exactly that in mind: cushion covers that go in the washing machine at 30 degrees, water-resistant covers, a powder-coated aluminium frame, Grade A teak arms and a weather cover included with every sofa set.
This guide covers what families should look for, and how to choose the right Bruges set. Browse the range on the Bruges collection page.
What makes garden furniture family-friendly?
- Washable cushions: sun cream, ice lolly drips, muddy feet and wet swimsuits are part of family life.
- A low-maintenance frame: something you can wipe down rather than sand, oil or repaint.
- Enough seats for the whole household, plus grandparents or friends who visit regularly.
- Comfort for both adults and children, so everyone actually uses it.
- Protection when it's not in use, so it lasts for years.

Should you add a dining set or sun loungers?
Families who eat outside often get the most from a matching dining set as well as a sofa set. The Bruges 6 Seat Dining Set (€1,439) has high-back chairs with teak arms, washable cushions, an all-aluminium table and an included weather cover. If you have a pool, the Bruges Sun Lounger Set (€959) brings the same look poolside, with cushion covers that also wash at 30 degrees.
Is Ivory practical with children?
Ivory gives a bright, fresh look, and because the Bruges cushion covers are machine washable at 30 degrees, you can keep them looking clean. Many families keep a spare set of covers so there's always one ready while the other is in the wash. The aluminium frame simply wipes clean.
How do you set up a family garden safely?
- Leave clear walkways of 60 to 90cm around the furniture, especially near the pool and doors.
- Keep furniture away from pool edges so children aren't tempted to climb and jump.
- Plan shade over the seating area for the hottest part of the day, with a parasol or bioclimatic pergola.
- Close parasols in wind and when you leave the garden.
How do you keep it looking good?
- Wipe the aluminium frame with mild soapy water.
- Wash cushion covers at 30 degrees and dry them fully before refitting.
- Clean the teak arms gently; untreated teak naturally weathers to a silvery grey in strong sun.
- Use the included weather cover when you won't use the set for a while.
