Both sets include a two-person sofa, two chairs, and a circular white table. The set is made from metal and fabric and weighs a lighter weight of 36kg. The seats from both sets are adorned with four plush cushions and have a flexible fabric support for some added spring. The only visible difference is purely a matter of taste. In the Habitat Tallak 4 Seater Metal Garden Sofa set, the cream offering has black bars and a noire table, whereas the Ikea set is completely cream. Even for the beige lovers out there, an £870 discount might make the swap worth the save. IKEA's table is just 4cm wider than Habitat's, at 74cm to 70cm, but Habitat's table and chairs are taller at 200cm tall to IKEA's 170cm tall- perfect for those blessed with long legs. If you splurge an extra £60 at Habitat, bringing your total to £300, you can get £50 off with the code Garden at the checkout. 4 The only difference with Habitat's cheaper offering is the monochrome colour scheme and a slightly different style of table Credit: Argos 4 Habitat's "absolute bargain" also comes with cushions included but costs £870 less than the original Credit: Argos One buyer said that the sofas are the "most comfortable seating I've ever sat on- the cushions are so fluffy and the size is really generous, so you can properly lounge about. Another said: "Absolute bargain, looks well and feels sturdy at a cheap price. "I've had so many compliments already saying it looks really expensive when in reality it was so cheap for what it is. "Such a good price... I would highly recommend it!" They even added that although it is advised to pop the cushions away during the winter months, they leave the set out all year round as it is so solid.

Install a water butt Water butts are a large container that sits in your garden and collects rainwater. This water can then be used to water plants, top up ponds or water features and wash the patio and other garden furniture. The natural outdoor water could help you save money on your water bills as you are less likely to use a hose during the summer months. 2. Use solar powered or LED lighting Solar powered lights get their energy from the sunlight in the day so they can illuminate your garden at night. They're easy to install and are a great choice for keeping electricity bills low. LED lights are another option that are long lasting and energy efficient. 3. Grow your own salad and vegetables Growing your own salad and vegetables will not only save you money but it can also feel really rewarding. Things like lettuce, radishes, and spinach are all fairly easy to grow. 4. Upcycle waste and rubbish Get creative and start upcycling items instead of throwing them away. Use sticks from ice lollies as plant tags or turn old watering cans and wheelbarrows into planters instead of buying new pots. Once you get creative the ways to upcycle are endless. 5. Start composting Start composting your kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings and coffee grounds and combine them with garden waste such as leaves and grass clippings to create a nutrient rich compost. This could reduce your need to spend money on expensive fertilisers.
