Kicking back in a garden armchair with an ice-cold gin and tonic is pretty much as good as it gets when it comes to the British summertime. Ever since we saw that first glimpse of the sun back in March we've been eyeing up every bit of garden furniture the internet has to offer so, naturally, it won't surprise you to learn that we jumped out of our seats when we saw the actual thrones Kylie Jenner has amongst her alfresco setup.
There we were, lazing around with a glass of wine in hand, catching up on the latest episode of the Kardashian's all-new series, when we spotted the 24-year-old billionaire's gorgeous lounge chairs. Complete with luxe cream cushions and a coffee table, Kylie's outdoor set-up at her Cape Cod-inspired mansion is everything we could want on a summer's afternoon, and more. Deep sunken seat? Check. Tapered legs? Check. Minimalist while yet still managing to capture that natural beauty and texture of the wood? Check, check. Likely the work of her award-winning interior designer – the renowned Martyn Lawrence Bullard – we're willing to bet that Kylie's garden furniture won't make it into our price bracket, so we went looking for the next best thing.
The fruits of our labour? Reader, you'll be pleased to hear that our search was not in vain and, in fact, we found 11 different variations on the youngest Jenner's garden chairs. See Cox & Cox's Turin Lounge Set, for instance; showing off that same natural texture and tapered legs, we love the branch-like appearance of the arms, not to mention it comes complete with a coffee table.
Elsewhere, for buyers in need of a singular chair, as opposed to a complete corner sofa and lounge chair set, Wayfair's Aamani chair and footstool brings together that luxury hotel feel – with oh-so-deep cushions – and a more traditional style of woodworking with its acacia timber supports.
We've pulled together options from £256 all the way up to the high-end contenders and –whether you're looking for a single armchair to laze in on your decking, or the whole shebang modular sofa and lounge chair collection – there'll be something here for you.
