Welcome to Ampersand Lifestyle - outdoor living at its best.

Love the outdoor life

There is a fundamental truth in life that is often overlooked – and that is that we all feel so much better for being outside. Spend time outdoors and the spirit soars, long winters are forgotten and life takes on new meaning. Which is why it’s so important to capitalise on our gardens and patios during the warmer months.

Key to our enjoyment of these open spaces is the way we accessorise them to reflect our lifestyles. In our book, garden furniture should be built to the same standard, and offer the same comfort, as that which graces the inside of your home. Unlike flimsy, insecure equivalents, solid, stylish and well-made garden furniture is a joy to behold and use; is a pleasure to entertain around; and adds an extra dimension to your home by extending usable living space into the beauty of your garden.

This is precisely what Ampersand Lifestyle has been doing for over 20 years – creating ranges of craftsmen-built garden furniture with an uncompromising attitude to quality and an irrefutable accent on style.

It is timeless furniture, with designed-in durability to last many years. There is no need to bring it inside for the winter, or even to cover it, as all our ranges are built to shrug off the weather and are completely maintenance-free.

A proudly independent, family-run firm, Ampersand Lifestyle designs and manufactures everything itself, producing ranges that are equally at home in the orangery, garden, on the patio or round the swimming pool. And whether home is a tiny cottage or a country estate, each piece – whether traditional or contemporary – will enhance its particular setting.

To help you envisage what could be achieved, and to optimise the space you have available, our space planner (coming soon) will demonstrate how a particular piece will look in a specific location. It’s almost like having a ‘virtual’ garden, or a blank canvas on which you can experiment with ideas. Have a play, and see how you could create an oasis of calm and tranquillity, even in the most limited of outdoor spaces.

For instance, you may want to check how a traditional design like Sardinia (our lightweight cast aluminium range of chairs, tables, parasols and recliners) would look on your patio. Or, if you’re looking for something more contemporary, explore our  Weave & Teak and Fun & Funky ranges with their unique hammocks and iconic designs such as Nest and Apple Pod. Ampersand garden tables come in all shapes and sizes, so whether you want somewhere for formal dining or just a place to set down a drink, you’ll find masses of options. What’s more if you order before 12 noon we can often deliver to your door before 9 am the next day. Even when this is not possible, most products can be delivered nationwide within 2 or 3 working days.
