Short answer: For a Kenyan garden or veranda, choose a rattan outdoor sofa set (KSh 127,500 to KSh 275,000 at EmmyPes) if you want deep cushions and an L-shaped or 7-seater layout. Choose wooden outdoor furniture (from KSh 68,000) if you prefer the look of timber and a set you can also eat at.
Rattan vs wood at a glance
Most people shopping for outdoor furniture in Kenya end up choosing between two looks. The first is a rattan sofa set: woven seating with thick cushions that feels like a living room moved outside. The second is wooden outdoor furniture: timber frames with a warmer, more traditional look.
Neither is "better" for every home. The right choice depends on how you use the space, how much seating you need and how much cover the area has from sun and rain.
| Option | Price range (KSh) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Rattan L-shaped sofa set | 127,500 to 275,000 | Corner patios, rooftops and gardens where you want to stretch out |
| Rattan 5- to 7-seater sofa set | 178,000 to 185,000 | Families who entertain and need seating for a group |
| Wooden outdoor dining set | 68,000 | Eating outside: a table and six seats |
| Wooden outdoor lounge set | 165,000 to 185,500 | A timber look for a veranda or lawn, with cushions |
Rattan outdoor sofa sets
Our outdoor furniture collection has rattan sofa sets in brown, black, white and grey. The two main shapes are the L-shaped sectional, which fits into a corner, and the long 7-seater, which seats a full family along one side of a patio.
Some current options:
- L-Shaped Rattan Outdoor Sofa Set — Grey/White: KSh 127,500, the lowest-priced L-shape in the range.
- 6-Seater Dark Brown Rattan Outdoor Lounge Set: KSh 158,500, a deep brown lounge set.
- 7-Seater Black Rattan Outdoor Sofa: KSh 178,000.
- 7-Seater Brown Rattan Outdoor Sofa: KSh 178,000.
- 7-Seater White Rattan Outdoor Sofa: KSh 178,500.
- 5-Seater White Rattan Outdoor Sofa: KSh 185,000.
- L-Shaped Rattan Outdoor Sofa Set — Brown and L-shaped White Rattan Outdoor Sofa: KSh 275,000 each.
If you like the idea of a big sofa with a table in front of it, the 7-Seater Outdoor Sofa + Rectangular Coffee Table – Orange Cushions (KSh 178,000) comes as a set with the coffee table included.
Colour matters more outdoors than people expect. White and grey sets look light and modern on a rooftop or beside a pool. Brown and black hide dust and leaves better in a garden and suit stone or brick walls.

Wooden outdoor furniture
Some customers simply prefer timber outside. Our wooden garden furniture range is smaller but covers both dining and lounging:
- 6 Seater Wooden Outdoor Dining Set: KSh 68,000, with a hexagonal table, so everyone faces the middle.
- 5-Seater Wooden & Rattan Outdoor Sofa Set: KSh 165,000, a wooden frame combined with rattan and cream cushions.
- Natural Wood Outdoor Sectional Set: KSh 185,500, an L-shaped wooden sectional with two matching armchairs and a round wooden coffee table.
- Wooden Garden Bench Set: ask us on WhatsApp for the current price.
The wooden dining set is the most affordable way to furnish an outdoor space properly. If you mostly eat outside, start there. If you mostly sit and talk, a lounge set makes more sense.

Which suits your home?
Ask yourself three questions before you decide.
- How do you use the space? If you sit outside for long evenings, a cushioned rattan sofa is the comfortable choice. If you mainly eat outside, a wooden dining set is the better buy.
- How much cover is there? A covered veranda protects cushions and frames from rain and strong sun. On an open lawn, plan for covers and a parasol.
- What look do you want? Rattan in white or grey looks modern; brown rattan and natural wood look warmer and more traditional.
You can also combine both: a rattan sofa set on the veranda and a wooden dining set on the lawn.
Choosing the size and layout
Measure the space before you choose. A few practical rules help:
- Corner or open space? L-shaped sets work best against two walls or in a corner of the garden. A straight 7-seater works along one wall or facing a view.
- Leave walking room. As a rough guide, leave about 60 to 90 cm between the sofa and the coffee table, and a clear path past the set.
- Count real seats. If you regularly host six or more people, a 7-seater or an L-shape avoids bringing chairs out from the house.
- Dining or lounging? Sofa sets are for relaxing. For meals, choose a dining set like the hexagonal 6-seater.
If you are unsure, send us a photo of the space and its rough measurements on WhatsApp, and we can suggest which layout fits.

Looking after outdoor furniture
A little care goes a long way, whichever material you choose:
- Bring cushions in at night and during the rains, or store them in a dry place, so they stay fresh.
- Cover the set during long rainy spells, or keep it under a veranda roof if you can.
- Wipe rattan with a damp cloth every week or two, especially near the coast where salt air leaves a film.
- Oil or polish wooden pieces a few times a year so the timber does not dry out.
- Add shade. A garden parasol over the seating protects cushions from strong sun.
If you also want a relaxed single seat for the same space, read our guide to hammock and swing chairs.
