If your outside space is limited, then you want a space-saving metal garden table that is compact but doesn’t compromise on function.
“Our 2 and 4-seater sets are perfect for small patios because they allow you to maximise your patio space without sacrificing comfort or style.”
The cast aluminium we use is robust but not so heavy that it can’t pick it up and move it.
Our furniture collection is classically styled with a slim and sleek aesthetic, so you can create the illusion of a larger space and avoid over-cluttering.
“Space-saving patio furniture should allow you to adapt your patio to different occasions, whether it’s a cosy corner to sit down with a cup of tea and a good book or an intimate family dining zone for a summer BBQ."
Even in a small space, with our range, you can create a comfortable and inviting outdoor oasis by selecting furniture that gives you the best of both form and function.
By carefully considering your space and choosing the right size and style of furniture, you can transform a small patio into a functional and stylish outdoor retreat.
The Lazy Susan design team have chosen our favourite sets for Summer 2025 that we think deliver that all-important combination of style and functionality with a small patio footprint.
1. Tulip Bistro Set
Available in our white, slate, and antique bronze finishes, our Tulip is a stylish 2-seat cafe-style set that has been a customer favourite for many years. The delicate Tulip design gives the table a touch of classic beauty that will instantly enhance any small garden, patio, or balcony space. Whether you're enjoying an early morning coffee or an evening meal for two in the setting summer sun, you'll be able to relax with peace of mind for years to come on this beautiful compact set.
2. Daisie Compact Patio Dining Set
Available as both a 2 and 4-seater set, depending on what you need, the 118 cm oval garden table of our Daisie is perfect for combining a generously sized tabletop in a space-saving package. This unique, eye table set, features exquisite diamond lattice detail-work on a sleek oval base that’s simply ideal for cosy gatherings in small outside spaces.
3. Alessia Folding Bistro Set
If space is a premium, such as on a balcony or small courtyard terrace, then easy storage is a critical element. Our Alessia set delivers a whole lot of bistro in a slimline foldable design. It includes an ultra-compact steel table with a circular top and 2 foldable chairs. The design is simple yet elegant, with a romantic twist that’s perfect for sharing coffee, tea and maybe a jam and cream scone (we’re jam first here at Lazy Susan) on a sunny afternoon with your nearest and dearest.
4. Anna Compact Metal Outdoor Table
Anna is a compact 80cm round metal garden table & chair set that features our trademark intricate metalwork. The tabletop features a diamond interstice and an expanding latticework that’s a big design fave here at Lazy Susan HQ. The level of detail makes it a sophisticated table that we think is perfect for evening drinks with a friend or a romantic meal with your partner without needing a large slice of patio real estate.
5. Bella Patio Coffee Table Set
The Bella table is a timeless coffee table set to give your terrace patio or balcony the perfect focal point. The low table and ergonomic chairs are perfect for those who like to keep things laid back and enjoy lounging in the sun with a good book or sharing drinks with a loved one. Powder-coated in our classic Antique Bronze or slate grey finishes, it is weather-proof and can be left outside year-round with minimal maintenance.
6. Jasmine Garden Bench with Claire Coffee Table
We think our Jasmine paired with Claire is a match made in heaven. It is our best-selling garden bench, combining style, comfort and durability, it is the perfect choice when you’re looking for that timeless but contemporary style. Pair it with our Claire coffee table (as shown in the photo above) and the coordinating triangular latticework will give you a combination that is perfect for relaxing, reading, catching up with a friend, or enjoying afternoon tea or that first cup of coffee in the morning.
7. Eve Space-Saving Bistro Set
Our Eve Bistro Table features our signature metalwork with an elegant central floral decoration and a round braided border. Much loved by the Lazy Susan team and customers alike, it is the perfect space-saving set for that sunny spot in your garden. Be it an intimate evening meal for two or brunch in the morning, with our Eve only weighing around 7kg, it is the perfect table to pick and move until you find the right amount of shade or sunshine.
8. London Rose 2-Seater Patio Set
We think our London Rose set is elegance personified. This compact set features a beautiful 61 cm round table with a stunning English rose motif to give it that quintessential country garden feel. Made from our durable trademark cast aluminium, it will not rust or rot in the English rain and is light enough to easily move around your garden until you find the perfect spot or the weather takes a turn for the worse.
9. Ivy Small Garden Set
Ivy is one of our space-saving bistros that we think just works best in our white-painted finish. Featuring an exquisite ivy chain design on the tabletop and matching bistro chairs, it brings to mind chic Parisienne street-side cafes. Place it in a sunny corner on your patio or balcony space and you’ll be enjoying a romantic meal for two or casual evening drinks with a friend this summer.
10. Mia Space-Saving 4-Seater Patio Table Set
Mia is the perfect example of a practical 4-seater set that requires minimal patio real estate but packs in a host of functionality into that small package. One of our most popular 4-seater sets, it features an exquisite rounded braid centre with expanding spiral latticework. Mia is compact and yet offers enough tabletop space for a family meal or evening drinks with friends.
Our final thoughts on our compact metal garden furniture for your outdoor space…
Maximising space on a small patio or balcony with space-saving furniture is all about finding compact pieces that can help you create a functional, inviting area without overcrowding it.
Look to pair your furniture with wall-mounted shelves, hanging planters, or vertical gardens to add greenery without taking up too much floor space. A vertical garden for example can create a green oasis without overwhelming the area.
You want to create a space that is both stylish and functional. That looks good but is also comfortable to spend time in. Our space-saving sets ensure you can sit comfortably, and eat a meal, while our slim classical styling will give the area a lightness that makes it feel open and uncluttered.
With our compact garden table sets you can create a stylish, practical outdoor retreat that doesn’t feel cramped, making the most of even the smallest patio spaces.
