Tips on Choosing the Best Patio Furniture
There is no question the indoor or outdoor living trend that was once solely the province of the warm, coastal climates has taken off and spread everywhere. Outdoor space is now totally a thing, and people are treating it like just another part of the house, which is why you will find a never-ending assortment of outdoor furnishings available online and in stores that looks just as nice, if not better than the stuff that goes inside. Excellent patio furniture brings comfort and function to your outdoor spaces. A primary stone patio can be transformed into an alfresco dining destination with a spacious table and comfortable chairs.
MAKE A LIST OF PATIO FURNITURE NEEDS
Begin by thinking about how you would like your outdoor space to function. Do +-you want it to serve as a dining area on warm summer nights? Do you plan to host your next dinner party or your child's birthday party in the space? Or do you envision a peaceful reading nook tucked into your outdoor room? Make a list of the activities you would like to do in the distance and use it as a guide to determine what type of patio furniture is necessary.
TRY OUTDOOR SITTING BEFORE YOU BUY
When shopping for patio chairs and sofas, be sure to take a seat before you buy them. Patio furniture will likely be used regularly, especially during the warmer months, so it's essential that the seating is comfortable. You and your guests will be less likely to enjoy your patio if it's outfitted with uninviting furniture. For the utmost comfort, look for pieces with plush cushions on the seats and backs, or cozy up metal and wood furniture with fluffy pillows. Make sure all fabrics are weather-resistant to prevent color-fading or mildew growth.
CONSIDER STORAGE FOR YOUR PATIO FURNITURE
Add years to the life of your patio furniture by storing it in a protected location during the off-season. A garage, basement, or shed will shield pieces from the elements to prevent damage or additional wear. Even the most uncompromising patio furniture, such as teak chairs or a wrought-iron settee, will last longer if it is placed in storage when not in use. If your storage space is limited, look for patio furniture that folds or can be quickly taken apart for compact storage. Stackable chairs can also help maximize storage space when patio season ends.
