Gardens need this trendy rattan sofa set that is now £75 less in the B&M sale

Get those 'on trend' boho-vibes with this garden furniture set from the B&M sale. Summer is definitely in full swing now. After experiencing a dreary start to June, temperatures for the rest of the week are set to soar quite a bit. That's because the Met Office has confirmed parts of the UK are experiencing a heatwave, with yellow weather warnings in place for areas of England where they are set to reach scorchers of 33C. ‌ With more hazy sunshine on the horizon, it's only natural that many Brits will be planning to get into the rays outside, and, fortunately, B&M has just launched a massive garden sale in time for the warmer weather. ‌ The beloved high street chain often offers price reductions across summer garden must-haves at this time of year, with everything from patio sets to egg chairs reduced in price, allowing shoppers to spruce up their outdoors for the summer. One item that we think is an absolute must-have is this Valencia Reversible Rattan Effect Corner Sofa Set that is enjoying a 30 percent discount, with the total price being dropped from £250 to £175, saving £75 off the RRP. Why do we think this is a standout item for gardens? Well, for those who keep up to date with trends, the bohemian-rattan style is once again 'in' for this year, with items boasting the same style selling out at other major retailers. This Valencia two-set piece comes with a corner sofa, complete with super comfy cushions, and a table, with the high street giant saying that it is "perfect for relaxing outdoors in comfort and style." Perfect for entertaining guests and relaxing with a book and a drink, this rattan sofa set will give any garden that boho-vibe that is all the rage for summer 2025. ‌ However, we'd advise bagging it while it is still available, as it is currently marked as "low stock" on the discounted retailer's website, which means it is quite popular with other shoppers. Another standout item from the garden sale would have to be the 20 percent discount on the must-buy Santorini Hanging Egg Chair, now £120 after being reduced from £150, saving £30 off the RRP. ‌ Let's face it, no garden is complete without an egg chair, and this provides an opportunity to bag one with a little discount. Able to seat two people, the soft swinging chair doesn't just offer a comfy and relaxing spot, but it also folds away to be easily stored away when the winter comes.

Of course, with scorching temperatures arriving across parts of the UK, it's definitely worth staying protected from the harmful UV rays every now and then, which is why we'd invest in a gazebo if it's possible. ‌ Fortunately, the B&M sale also has that covered, with this luxury 2.5M Steel Framed Gazebo that has been reduced from £125 to £100, saving £25 overall. Not only does this offer some shade from the sun, but the premium woven polyester canopy is also said to be shower-proof, alongside boasting mosquito nets to keep away bugs away, so it's definitely another must-have for this time of year. ‌ As for the frame itself, it has been created from a powder-coated steel, ensuring that it is both sturdy and durable, so shoppers can be rest assured that they will be getting their moneys worth. While we think the B&M garden sale is the perfect opportunity to stock up on some furniture sets, it's worth noting that it does also offer a selection of BBQ's, firepits and a whole host of other items to get the outdoors space summer ready. To check out what is available, the B&M Garden Sale can be viewed online but all products can only be purchased in stores.
