You might want a concrete bench for its durability and other benefits, yet you're not so keen on the idea of plain grey garden furniture. Even if you don't want to add cushions and covers to the bench, it's possible to buy painted or patterned concrete benches. This is a great way to add the splash of color that you want to the furniture, particularly if your garden lacks colorful flowers and other plants. Many people are put off the idea of concrete benches just by hearing about it, but some of the variations available on the market are the perfect bright addition to your garden that you're looking for.
