'Stylish' Dunelm furniture set 'perfect for tiny gardens' now half price
With summer finally here, many of us are looking to improve outdoor space without breaking the bank. Shoppers looking for a compact garden furniture set perfect for relaxing in the sunshine are rushing to snap up a popular Dunelm garden set that's now on sale for half price.
The Santorini 2 Seater Bistro Set usually costs £119, but is now available for just £59.50, with fans calling it 'perfect for tiny gardens.' Designed with smaller spaces in mind, the compact yet stylish bistro set includes two chairs and a matching coffee table, making it ideal for balconies, patios or petite garden corners.
It comes in two contrasting colourways: Jade Mist and a natural tone. Both have been reduced in Dunelm's mid-season sale, although the green set is a slightly more expensive option at £83.30.
Other retailers have reduced prices of garden furniture to tempt shoppers as schools break up, with B&Q knocking £110 off the GoodHome Vitello 2-seater Bistro set which would work in slightly bigger outdoor settings. Elsewhere at Amazon, the COSTWAY 3-Piece Patio Bistro Set is available for £69.95.
Crafted from weather-resistant rattan and supported by a steel frame, Dunelm's Santorini Bistro Set is built to last through the British weather. Its curved seat design and airy weave also add comfort, ensuring it's not just good-looking and sturdy, but comfortable to sit in too.
The included coffee table completes the look and offers just enough space for a book, a drink, or a small spread of snacks, making it a good choice for al fresco moments this summer, even in the smallest of gardens.
Garden lovers have been quick to praise the Santorini Bistro Set for its compact and elegant style.
One happy shopper said: "A beautiful table and chairs. They look fab and are really comfy." A second person shared: "A lovely two-seater and table bistro set, it's very comfortable, a lovely colour too. I would recommend for a small garden/yard."
Another comment read: "Gorgeous small garden set perfect for our tiny garden. It's easy to put together."
However, one person noted: "A lovely outdoor bistro set. It's a little low to the ground, which I didn't spot online, but it's very comfortable and looks great."

I'm obsessed with the £3.99 Lidl middle aisle holiday buy that is taking over hotel pools this summer
DIP IN I'm obsessed with the £3.99 Lidl middle aisle holiday buy that is taking over hotel pools this summer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE'S a trend sweeping family hotel pools this summer - and no, I'm not talking about sun lounger hogging. At my TUI Village hotel in Turkey last week, I spotted more than a hundred 'water hammocks' that were identical to the one I bought from the Lidl middle aisle in June. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Lidl's £3.99 middle aisle buy is the holiday accessory of the summer Credit: Lidl The pool accessory works like a lilo, with inflatable tubes at each end and a mesh in the middle where your body lies. On a trip to Spain last month, the story was the same - the water hammock reigned supreme at the hotel pool. A straw poll of parents lounging by the pool in Turkey showed that the majority of them also picked theirs up for £3.99 from Lidl - the Blue Crivit Water Hammock. However, a decent proportion also bought theirs from Amazon, where a two-pack in pink and blue will set you back £15.99, or alternatively, John Lewis is selling a chic palm print version for £9.60. I only bought one in the Lidl flash sale, but I'll be stocking up on more next year because they make the perfect foreign holiday lilo. Why? Because the fact that most of it's mesh - not bulky plastic - means that it's super lightweight and packs into a tiny space in the suitcase. Gone are the days when I reluctantly shell out a fortune abroad, because I didn't have the space or kg allowance to take an inflatable on the plane with me. I could easily take three in a suitcase and barely notice them in the bag. The minimal inflatable space also means a: far less time to blow up, b: it takes up a lot less space in the hotel room and is easy to transport to and from the pool or beach, and c: there is less surface space for punctures. Speaking of travel hacks, 2025 was also the year that I finally tried out packing cubes, and I can't believe it took me so long. On a 14-day multi-stop trip to South Africa in April, there was no way I could do my usual unpack-the-moment-I-check-in routine, given that we were staying in eight different places. So I bought a few sets of 12 for £9 from Amazon, and everything was painstakingly divided up into different cubes - one for my son's T-shirts, one for shorts, one for my sweaters... and so on. 2 The water hammock is great for family holidays, because it's much smaller and lighter than your average pool lilo Credit: Getty It made the experience so much simpler, because everything was easy to find within 3 seconds of opening up the suitcase - with no rifling around. Since then, I've reverted to emptying the bag as soon as I arrive if it's a one-stop holiday, but anything with more than two locations or less than three nights will have me reaching for the packing cubes from now on.
