Outdoor Furniture 101

Whether you have a balcony, deck, patio, or a large backyard, having comfortable and durable furniture can transform your outdoor space into an inviting oasis. In this helpful guide, we will discuss how to choose the right furniture for your outdoor space and family's needs!

01. Consider your Space & Needs
Think about the size and layout of your outdoor space and how you plan to use it. Do you need a dining table and chairs for outdoor meals, a comfortable sofa for lounging, or a set of chairs for relaxing with friends and family? The type and number of furniture pieces you need will depend on your space and lifestyle.


02. Material Matters
Outdoor furniture is exposed to the elements, so it is crucial to select materials that can withstand rain, sun, wind, and temperature changes. Some of the most popular materials for outdoor furniture include metal, wood, wicker, and plastic. Take note of the sun and weather exposure in the location you want to furnish and consider the maintenance requirements, durability, and aesthetic appeal when selecting the right materials for your space and needs.


03. Mix & Match
It may be tempting to purchase a furniture set, but consider mixing materials and textures for an elevated look. Wicker or woven pieces mixed with metals, woods and upholstery can really enhance your space. Take note of the materials around your yard and find pieces that complement the colors, textures, greenery and aesthetic.

04. Comfort is Key
Comfort and style are equally important when selecting outdoor furniture. Make sure to think about how you will use the space, whether for relaxing, hosting, etc. Maybe you want a chair for reading or a chaise lounge for sunbathing. Look for pieces with substantial cushioning, and then add outdoor pillows and throws for an extra level of comfort.


05. Maintenance & Care
Outdoor furniture requires regular maintenance and care to prolong its lifespan and keep it looking good. Look for furniture that is easy to clean and requires minimal upkeep. Additionally, consider purchasing furniture covers or storing furniture indoors during extreme weather conditions to protect your outdoor furniture from the elements.


06. Shop Early
Well-designed, high-quality outdoor furniture tends to get snatched up early in the season, causing long backorders late into the summer. To be able to enjoy your new furniture all summer long, start shopping in the winter or early spring to get ahead of the seasonal rush.
