Orchard Life: How to style your garden

Introducing Orchard Life – New for 2025

As we look forward to sunny spring and long summer days, the thought of being able to use our outdoor space becomes a priority. Whether you have a small garden or substantial outdoor space, the right garden furniture can make all the difference when it comes to spending time outside.

As experts in garden furniture, Gates proudly offers a diverse range of woven, metal, rope, and wooden garden furniture from trusted, long-standing brand partners. We’ve been helping customers across the country to create their dream outdoor spaces with everything from stylish dining sets to chic lounge and sofa sets. This year is no different and we’re thrilled to introduce the latest addition to our outdoor living collection: Orchard Life, a premium rattan garden furniture brand. Exclusive to Gates and launched in 2025, Orchard Life represents the finest in handwoven outdoor craftsmanship.

Orchard Life make great garden furniture, specifically designed to withstand the challenges of British weather – from hot summers to icy winters, and plenty of rain in between. Reassuringly, Orchard Life furniture can be left outside uncovered year-round, with only the cushions requiring storage when not in use. Although, use of a cover will help to protect against the elements. Crafted with a durable synthetic resin weave wrapped around rust-resistant aluminium frames, Orchard Life furniture is built for outdoor longevity. Additionally, the UV-resistant weave ensures the furniture won’t fade over time.

Every piece of Orchard Life garden furniture combines comfort and style with practicality, ensuring you can enjoy extended outdoor time, whether relaxing alone or entertaining guests.

For 2025, we have introduced three key fruit-inspired ranges: Braeburn, Morello, and Mulberry, each refreshing and vibrant, just like the juicy fruits they represent. Exciting new additions will be introduced later this spring, bringing even more variety to the Orchard Life collection. Discover more about each range, to decide which is your favourite to help you style your garden.

Braeburn

Orchard Life’s Braeburn collection is a stunning hand-woven range that beautifully combines traditional style with timeless elegance. Crafted from natural and neutral tones of dark brown rattan, it exudes a classic charm that complements both modern and traditional garden settings. Featuring high backs and gracefully curved armrests, this garden furniture offers a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. The addition of a Lazy Susan is included with the large round and oval shaped dining tables in this range to keep everything within easy reach for you and your guests.

The tailored dark beige cushions with their contoured, vertically sewn lines provide added luxury, while the clear tempered glass tabletops, thoughtfully recessed for safety, enhance the overall refined aesthetic. Like the Braeburn apple, which requires sun to ripen, all you need to fully enjoy this garden furniture range is a sunny day! So, whether you’re updating a contemporary patio or enhancing a traditional outdoor space, the Braeburn range is the ultimate choice for a stylish and enduring garden look.

Morello

The Morello collection by Orchard Life offers a bold and contemporary take on garden furniture, designed to be both stylish and practical. With its striking chunky design, curved arms, and enveloping backs, the Morello range creates a cosy, inviting feel.

Crafted from weather-resistant, chunky round and half-round synthetic rattan, Morello features a sleek grey and brown matt finish that effortlessly complements most gardens. The deep, luxurious ‘Natural’ light brown colour Olefin cushions add a touch of elegance and comfort, with excellent weather resistance – though they should be stored after use for longevity. All pieces are discreetly raised from the ground with feet to prevent contact with water, ensuring durability and keeping your furniture looking its best every season. Complete your garden this season with our new Morello garden sets which bring indoor comfort levels outdoors – the perfect cherry on top!

Mulberry

Fresh, vibrant and zingy like the fruit, Mulberry by Orchard Life is a deluxe hand-woven garden furniture range. Mulberry combines classic styles with modern, lighter colours, featuring high-back armchairs with flared armrests and a twisted round wicker design that exudes a rustic sisal-like look and feel. Cushions are contoured and tailored for a neat and comfortable fit.

Like the Braeburn collection, dining tables include recessed, clear tempered glass for added safety and frost resistance, with the exception of the Mulberry Modular Corner Sofa Set with Square Coffee Table, which has a more modern, tempered glass tabletop that sits on top of the weave. For added convenience, large round and oval dining tables in the range come with handy Lazy Susans, making outdoor entertaining both practical and easy. Update your outdoor space with our luxurious Orchard Life Mulberry patio sets and freshen up your look with this fruity collection.

Lastly, for added peace of mind, each garden set is backed by a reassuring three-year structural manufacturer warranty, as well as a 12-month cushion guarantee. Orchard Life are confident you’ll love your garden set season after season.
