Overview
Royalcraft has been designing and supplying quality outdoor furniture since 1990 and is trusted by homeowners and retailers across the UK. With over 35 years of heritage, we are now entering an exciting new phase of growth.
In 2025, we are expanding into indoor furniture, creating a seamless flow between home and garden through considered design inspired by nature, wellness, and biophilic living.
