[Ad] Yeah Lifestyle was recently invited to visit the Bridgman‘s Inspired Living Showroom based in Wilmslow to see and learn about their new line of furniture being showcased for 2018. We enjoyed the tour given by the Store Manager, Jonathan who has been with the store since it’s opening two years ago. We came back even more inspired on how we were going to decorate our back garden especially since the sun is shining even more now and with our garden just done up by a gardener.
There were so many things that we liked about the Bridgman furniture and soft furnishing. We will mention these later on in the blog post. We would totally recommend just popping over to their store to have a look-see to get some inspiration for your home, indoor or outdoor. Not decided on what to get? Ask them for a copy of their Luxury Outdoor Furniture Collection Catalogue which has over 200 pages with photos and full product information in it.
Do watch our HD video and photo vlog which includes Jonathan giving us a demo of their waterproof cushions as well as sharing a little bit about the Red Devil Ceramic BBQ Oven (which we just love and wish we had!!) and this retails for £999.
Bridgman in Wilmslow are currently having their January Sales and giving discount for up to 40%, so head there before the end of the month for some good bargains. Here, we are sharing some sneak peek look into their latest 2018 furniture designs.
The Verona Collection
This collection includes lounging furniture (inspired by the new 2018 trend, Italian coasts and seas and constructed from aluminium) which is both comfortable and durable. They are accompanied Aqua Grey cushions which are waterproof and stain proof, so there is no need to worry about red wine spillages. (This is amazing and we were totally sold when Jonathan, the store manager demonstrated water spillage on the cushion for us, have a look at the video to see what we mean).

Verona Lounge Armchair with 50cm Side Table and Footstool, priced at £1249

Verona Modular Set C, priced at £5799
The Verona collection also includes the dining furniture which is inspired by the new 2018 trend, mixed materials trend. There are rattan dining chairs which are mixed with high quality aluminium HPL table – making this set stylish and long lasting.

Verona 170cm Verona Rectangular Dining Table with 6 Dining Armchairs, priced at £3249
During our tour of the 2-floor showroom, we noticed that the tables were decorated with these lovely life like flower bouquet and found out that we could purchase them if we wanted to. These as some of Bridgman’s beautiful faux bouquet. Bridgman have teamed up with an expert floral designer who hand-ties these gorgeous flowers so they look and feel just like fresh flowers. Each petal is intricately hand painted to make every flower unique. Every bouquet is given with their signature Bee pin (you will see a photo of this in the video). People usually buy or order fresh-cut flowers for some occasion. But this faux bouquet is a great alternative option.

Winter White, priced at £109

Burgundy Blooms Bouquet, priced at £95
These Paris Collection are also new to their 2018 collection and are made by Grosfillex, this is exclusive to Bridgman. Grosfillex is a very well-known company whereby their furniture is ideal for small spaces as it is easily storable. There are lightweight stacking armchairs, sun loungers which stack and also a flat folding dining table (Tolouse Dining Table).
The Paris collection is made out of durable maintenance free materials; resin, High pressure laminate (HPL) and aluminium which require minimal effort to clean. The table tops are made out of HPL which means they are not only water resistant, they are scratch resistant as well. All the furniture is weatherproof and waterproof. There are lounging sets and also dining sets for people who want to relax or dine. Better still, this collection is incredibly unique as it is comfortable without the need of seat cushions! The images show waterproof scatter cushions which can be an option. This collection is available in 3 shades; volcanic grey, volcanic black and ice white.

Toulouse Black / Anthracite Square Folding Table with 4 Paris Volcano Anthracite / Black Stacking Armchairs, priced at £899

Two Paris Volcano/Grey Lounge Armchairs with 50cm Side Table, priced at £849
Why buy from Bridgman?
- You have the option of popping into their showroom for inspiration and doing the purchase via the knowledgeable staff or if you are busy, you can also do it online.
- They are renowned for their great after sale service, you pay just one price and that includes the delivery cost for anywhere in mainland UK and they will come and set the furniture up for you, hassle free with all packaging removed.
- All of their furniture is weather proof and waterproof so you can leave it out all through spring and summer as they use teak which has been kiln dried for 3 months. In winter, you could either purchase special covers to protect the furniture from the frost or you could purchase storage boxes for it.
- They are the only company that sell fully waterproof cushions.
- Most of their furniture comes with either a 3 year of 10 year guarantee
- They carry stock so it usually takes about 10 days for your to get your order unless its pre-ordered

So yes, we would totally recommend popping into their showroom, who knows…you may even bump into some local celebrities or footballers’ wives who frequent the shop.
About Bridgman
The story of Bridgman started in 1977 with Peter Bridgman following the footsteps of his father into the furniture industry. Together with Howard Barnett, he soon set up a workshop in North London to manufacture quality British furniture. Bridgman, as the company was named, crafted its reputation around 3 core values that still live on to this day; quality, design and comfort. In 1987 they launched their first collection of luxury garden furniture. Their in-house designers and advanced production techniques allowed them to fill a gap in the market and soon saw them becoming the first UK Company to decorate wooden outdoor furniture with ornate detailing. Having already established a network of trusted retailers, they secured valuable floor space in garden centres throughout the UK and Europe. They are a fan of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and have been showcasing all their new designs for the last 27 years and have won the Best Exhibit Design Awards four times. Peter and Howard still work in the business and oversee the running of the company accompanied by Peter’s two sons, Robert and Alex. This has allowed Peter’s appreciation for fine design, good craftsmanship and unrivalled service to be passed down to the 3rd generation of Bridgman’s.
Now with 5 showrooms and a curated selection of retailers, Bridgman continue to innovate and shape the UK’s home & garden furniture industry. 2017 marked their 40th birthday. For them design goes far beyond aesthetics, they believe that a well-crafted piece of furniture can transform your space and allow you to maximise the time spent relaxing or entertaining in your homes & gardens.

I love the look of winter white it is such a gorgeous bouquet and great that they are fake as well which means that they will last a lifetime. I love that you can also visit the showrooms too!
Yes totally agree about the bouquet, also so much to see there in their showroom and the Manager is friendly and knowledgeable, so you can chat with him about the products.
Ooh we drive through Wilmslow yesterday – I wish we had known about this place then. Am desperately in need of some conservatory furniture!
They are having 40% on most of their furniture until the end of January, so hope you do pass by the shop again soon
What an absolutely beautiful showroom and those flowers are gorgeous! I honestly had to look a few times at the pictures and double check what you had written they do look so real.
Thanks Sarah. Yes that’s what we thought, they looked amazing for sure. Imagine having that in your house x
I particularly like the outdoor furniture. I need to buy myself a new suite of furniture for the garden.
Hope this post helps you with that decision Erica
I love the idea of the cushions being waterproof, my kids play with water all the time in the summer so this would be really practical as well as looking good!
Yes we agree, especially when weather in the UK is so unpredictable all the time, you don’t have to keep bringing in the cushions when it pours
That outdoor sofa looks absolutely stunning, I can’t wait until I have a garden that I can buy furniture for x
Yes we totally agree, you need a little bit of relaxation space for you to chill and unwind
Now that the promise of spring is in the air I’m excited to start looking at weatherproof furniture for our balcony area.
Well they deliver to London and have a showroom in Enfield, if that’s closer for you to visit x
Looks like they have some good things. I really like the verona collection

This is good timing, as we have just been looking at garden furniture. Some great options here.
What a lovely collection, I love the grey! The blue sofa is stunning too however I’d definitely not let my toddler near it!
Their materials can be quite sturdy Joanna, you’d be surprised and they do come with warranty, so it sure is child friendly to a point.
That is a very impressive showroom. Loving the Burgundy Blooms bouquet so so pretty x
We love that as well Jade, it looks so lifelike!
What a gorgeous showroom! I love out the outdoor furniture! Some really nice comfortable options for the home.
I think the Verona collection is my favourite! Would look stunning in my home.
I am sure it would look amazing in your home Ashleigh
I absolutely love the Verona set, such an unusual design and colour! I love how they have the different “set ups” which show the items in a natural environment and how it would look potentially in my house. Such a great idea to have showrooms such as these!
Totally Tanya, glad you enjoyed reading the post, we love the Verona set as well.
I love some of the furniture options here. We really need to make our garden nice so we can sit our their on lovely furniture in summer.

Loving the look of Verona corner set but the price is totally out of my price bracket :-((( Well, maybe one day in the future.
They are having 40% discount Agata, and you can get cheaper priced sofas too, but it may look slightly different.
Those flowers look stunning! A lovely post and a really detailed review! If only I lived closer so I could check out the showroom these seams right up my street! 💗
The Bridgman‘s Inspired Living Showroom sounds and looks great. I adore interiors and my exterior furniture and I love nothing better than having a good look for more items that I can buy much to the hubbies dismay. The grey outdoor set that you featured is stunning
There is some lovely inspiration for garden furniture. The Vernona range is fabulous, very stylish, and the flowers are so pretty. Looks like Bridgman’s do some great collections.
They definitely do Emily
What gorgeous furniture and great outdoor living ideas. I really love The Verona Collection, I’m just never sure what I would do with things like that in the winter months.
They give you storage boxes to keep them away or to put a protective covering on them, so they will be in great shape
All the furniture is absolutely gorgeous! I particularly like the Verona Modular Set C! That is something I want in my home.
Glad you do Stephanie x
Yes those outdoor stuffs are great. I can’t even pick which I would want if ever i buy one. The Verona. I think that’s what I want. Great finds.
We love the Verona sets too
Now I want to go furniture shopping!
But especially those fake flowers are amazing! I can barely believe that these aren’t real – the pictures look like still life oil paintings, actually! Now I want some to take flatlay pictures with…
They look so real, no one will know they are fake
These look stunning – I love the pale blue set, it would look gorgeous in my garden. It’s great that the cushions are waterproof too as I always forget to bring mine in.
Yes thats their best feature…the waterproof bit
Loving the flowers and the vase… so pretty!
Yes they are so life like
I really like their outdoors collection. I am moving into a new house with a garden and I am looking for some nice and modern furniture set for it. I’ll have a look at Bridgman too.
Hope you do Joanna
I love the large C shaped sofa for the garden – that would be great for entertaining guests in the summer!
