How to choose patio furniture

If you have a pocket garden, consider fitting in a small bistro set to sit and have coffee with the birds. Do you have a multi-tiered deck? Fill every level with comfortable cushions. A covered porch is ideal for lounging with lemonade.

Patio furniture allows you to comfortably spend countless hours outside with family and friends. When shopping for patio furniture, there are several different factors that should be considered to ensure an optimal configuration on your patio or deck. How many people will using the furniture and how they will be using it are key questions to answer when shopping for outdoor furniture. Once you’ve gathered your thoughts and have a general sense of what you need, it’s time to examine and decide on the different types of patio furniture available.

More patio essentials

Outdoor heating: Extend your outdoor living season with patio heaters ranging from tabletop models to those over seven feet tall. There are also hanging gazebo models, decorative tabletop and standing chimineas and simple to elaborate outdoor fireplaces and fire pits.

Gazebos and canopies: No roof, no worries when you have an outdoor gazebo or canopy for dining or party use, from square to round and oval, many with rolldown screens, mosquito netting, removable sidewalls and windows.

Outdoor rugs: Bring the indoors outdoors with quick-drying woven rugs crafted for your patio in all sizes, patterns and colors.

Patio cushions, covers, and other accessories: the more you use your patio furniture, the more likely it is that it experiences normal wear and tear, or you grow tired of its aesthetics. To prevent either scenario from occuring, keep outdoor pillows and cushions on deck (literally) so you can quickly rotate your look by season or as needed. When shopping for patio cushions and pillows, make sure to select the right size by examining the product dimensions, as well as a material that is compatible – both stylistically and functionally – with your patio furniture. To preserve your outdoor furniture, patio furniture covers are a wise investment. Patio furniture covers are particularly useful if the weather in your region tends to take its toll on your patio furniture, or if you’d like to prevent damage from animals, insects, and other unwanted visitors.

Patio Chairs and Seating

Adding a comfortable set of patio chairs can elevate your backyard to a warm and inviting area that’s perfect for hosting all of your open-air gatherings. Pick up a set of chairs and you can have a place to eat and enjoy the warm weather during the summer, relax by the pool or create the perfect setting for friends to gather for a spring barbecue. Whether you’re preparing for the next party or just looking to refresh your collection of tired, worn-out chairs, you’ll find an assortment of patio seating at Shop patio furniture to suit your budget and your decor.

Outdoor chairs are different from indoor chairs in several key ways. First, they’re designed to be weather-resistant so they won’t fall apart after the first rain. Many modern outdoor chairs consist of a sturdy, powder-coated steel or cast aluminum frame, along with a natural backing like rattan, wicker or burlap to complement the foliage in your backyard. The seat cushions of outdoor chairs typically are removable for indoor storage, but if they aren’t, look for waterproof or water-resistant fabrics so they won’t absorb rainwater. If you keep outdoor chairs under an awning and you’re concerned about not having enough room, look for stackable chairs. They create a much smaller footprint and reduce clutter.

Loveseats and benches are good for general, all-purpose seating, while Adirondack chairs add a rustic accent to your yard. For poolside seating, consider chaise lounges and lounge chairs with reclining capabilities so you can kick back and work on your tan. Invest in a bench with built-in storage under the seat to keep gardening tools, pool toys and other knick-knacks organized.

Porch Swing Ideas and Inspiration

Porch swing is a swing that is typically placed in an enclosed or unenclosed porch, patio or an informal extension of the living room or entryway of your house. Porch swings are usually designed for two to three people to sit at a time and are great for all occasions. Porch swings are a wonderful addition to an empty or boring porch. Outdoor swings are a place to relax and spend time with loved ones and your porch swing can help create memories that will last a lifetime. Patio swings can come in many shapes and sizes, but all outdoor swings have the capability of providing a place for you to relax when the weather is nice. Whether you’re interested in a glider swing which doesn’t have to be attached to the ceiling, or a simple outdoor swing with cushions, a porch swing is the perfect addition to the outside of your home!
