Take the party outside with Leroy Merlin

With a huge range of quality patio furniture on offer, Leroy Merlin is the go-to for homeowners and decorators looking for stylish yet affordable outdoor furniture.

This summer, it’s also the place to go if you want to up your entertainment game.

With a wide selection of outdoor furniture and accessories on offer, at Leroy Merlin you’ll find everything you need to pull off your next outdoor soiree in style – whether it’s a braai or a picnic.

Here are their must-have entertainment items for the season:

Don’t be square…

Just like indoor furniture, outdoor furniture with curvaceous lines is trending this season.

Try the NATERIAL Solis Origami Natural Round Outdoor Dining Table.

Picnics are the new parties…

Forget over-catered lunches and stiff dinners, the way to entertain this season is picnic style. The relaxed entertaining style is perfect during South African summers when everyone wants to spend as much time outdoors as possible with as little fuss as possible.

To make sure your picnic goes off without a hitch, invest in a good-quality picnic blanket, like the Haus Republik Brown Picnic Blanket, and the Multifunction Outdoor Picnic Garden and Camping Wagon with Aluminium Table Top. Not only can it hold all your picnic essentials for easy transport to your spot but it doubles up as a work surface, too.

Grab and go…

To ensure minimal fuss when planning your picnic, have all your essentials ready to go in one chic container. Our choice? The Infinity Homeware 4-person Wicker Picnic Basket – it’s packed with ceramic plates, stainless-steel cutlery and wine glasses. There’s even a corkscrew and an insulated bag to keep things cool. Real cool.

Make it permanent

If you love picnics but are a little too old to sit around on the grass (we understand), why not invest in a picnic table set? It’s convenient, comfortable and a great option when you want to entertain in your garden.

Leroy Merlin also stocks a colourful Kiddies Picnic Set, so the little ones can have their own table.
