Dear Katerina,
Inspired by your brief, I have curated your personalised edit with a selection of seating and dining options for your garden.
I really loved how much detail you included in your request, as it made it so much easier to understand both your space and the options you’re already considering. I have to admit, you have very good taste and you’re already heading in a really strong direction.
While I generally love mixing different shades of green, as it often creates a layered and curated look, in this particular case I would avoid pairing the John Lewis Salsa collection with the Sklum New Acapulco chairs in olive green. The tones are very similar but not quite the same, which can sometimes feel accidental rather than intentional. If you’d like to move forward with the John Lewis seating, I would be more inclined to introduce cream tones alongside it, which would feel fresh, timeless, and beautifully balanced against the surrounding planting.
Alternatively, if you’re open to a slightly bolder and more design-led approach, I think the John Lewis Salsa 2-seater sofa would look fantastic paired with the Sklum New Acapulco chairs in terracotta. The warmth of the terracotta would create a beautiful contrast against the green sofa while still complementing the natural tones of the garden.
I’ve also included a few additional finds within the edit so you have a wider variety of options to consider. Unfortunately, I can’t guarantee showroom availability or ex-display stock, as we generally recommend products that are available to order online, but hopefully some of these alternatives will help if delivery times are a deciding factor.
I hope you enjoy exploring the edit and that it helps bring a little clarity to your decision-making. I genuinely think you’re already very close to creating a beautiful outdoor space.
Warmly,
Iokasti

Lorenzo 6 Seat Garden Dining Set | Walnut & Olive Green
I wanted to include this set because it instantly reminded me of the look you’re already gravitating towards. I absolutely love the combination of olive green and walnut-effect finishes , it feels modern but still warm and inviting. The fact that the dining table and chairs come as a complete set also makes the process so much easier, and the shorter lead time is a huge bonus. If you’re looking for something that feels cohesive straight away, this is a fantastic option.

Levan 6 Seat Garden Dining Set | Natural & Moss Green
This one feels a little more elevated and architectural. What really caught my eye was the travertine-effect tabletop, which adds a beautiful Mediterranean feel while still sitting comfortably within a Scandinavian or mid-century inspired garden. The green aluminium chairs keep the overall look light and contemporary, and I think this set would age beautifully in the space.

Enzo Garden Sofa Set | Natural & Moss Green
I really love this set for your circular patio area. The combination of cream upholstery and green framing feels fresh and relaxed, while the travertine-effect coffee table gives it a much more premium feel than the price tag suggests. It creates an instant outdoor living room and feels incredibly good value for everything included.

Aluminium and Rope Outdoor Dining Chair Drian Trend
These chairs immediately stood out to me because of the mix of green tones within the design itself. They solve the colour dilemma beautifully by already blending shades together in a really intentional way. I could see these working wonderfully with a simple wooden dining table, while still tying into green accents elsewhere in the garden. They’re playful, design-led, and feel a little different from what everyone else has.

Marcy 2-Seater Sling Garden Sofa, Green
I was really drawn to this sofa because it feels effortlessly stylish. The shape is clean and contemporary, but it still has a relaxed quality that makes you want to sit down and spend an afternoon outdoors. If you’re still tempted by the Sklum Acapulco chairs, I actually think they could work beautifully alongside this piece.

Just adding these chairs here so you can also see them next to the sofas.

Avarna Garden 2 Seater Sofa in Green Stripe
This feels like such a fun option. I love how the striped fabric introduces a softer green tone, which makes it much easier to layer with darker greens elsewhere in the garden. If you’re worried about everything matching too perfectly, this is exactly the kind of piece that creates a more relaxed and collected look. It feels fresh, summery, and full of personality without being overwhelming.
