Make your outdoor dining area the center of social gatherings. Choose a patio table set that seats six, or go for an eye-catching bistro set featuring folding chairs for small spaces.
All-weather wicker patio furniture is constructed using UV-resistant synthetic fibers woven together for an all-weather solution, providing greater durability than natural rattan. Teak, eucalyptus or other weather-resistant woods may also make excellent choices.
Swivel chairs
Swivel chairs bring an air of fun and motion into any seating arrangement, from entertaining guests to simply reading a book. Plus, these versatile seats come in all kinds of styles and colors–from elegant fabric to sleek metal–allowing you to find one that complements the furniture and decor in your room or nursery – or use one as a focal point in the great room.
No matter where you place your new swivel chair, it should be comfortable and supportive so you can sit for extended periods without strain. Aim for models featuring adjustable armrests, lumbar support and headrest; lightweight models may even promote better sitting posture which could lower risk of back pain or other posture-related health conditions over time.
Swivel chairs offer the added advantage of making it easier to access items around you without standing up, which is particularly handy in smaller living rooms where space may be limited and allows access to coffee tables and side tables easily. They’re also great for people with limited mobility as it eliminates strain or awkward leaning over arms of chairs to access desired items.
Swivel chairs have long been a key player in office environments, providing stylish yet ergonomic seating to keep employees focused and productive throughout their days. They’re also popular in doctors’ offices or any setting where extended sitting time is required; look for ones made with quality materials like leather or mesh for long-term durability and comfort.
Swivel chairs make an ideal addition to the family room or great room where everyone gathers to watch TV, play games, and simply enjoy each other’s company. By adding two Harlow chairs into your seating area, you can create an inviting spot perfect for curling up with a book or turning around to face both sofa and TV simultaneously.
Ice chests
On a hot summer day, keeping beverages and snacks chilled to perfection are a necessity. By adding an outdoor ice chest to your patio set, you can keep drinks and snacks within reach without having to move from their seats. Look for models featuring built-in coolers with convenient shelving so bottles can be quickly accessible, plus flip-top lids that serve as table surfaces ideal for games or sunbathing sessions.
Patio tables equipped with an ice chest make great outdoor party accessories. Easily switch between talking to friends and admiring your garden scenery while keeping drinks within easy reach. Some ice tables feature 360 degree swivel mechanisms for easier conversation while other models provide footrests so you can rest on while relaxing.
No matter what style of garden setting you prefer – from picnicking under a tree to lounging on a poly porch glider – a patio table with an ice chest can add an inviting charm. Perfectly suitable for pairing with side chairs and benches and available in various lengths to meet different requirements, these inviting table ensembles bring something special into any outdoor environment.
If you’re searching for an elegant patio table with multifunctional capabilities, consider the Pacific Cool Bar. It features a hidden 7.5-gallon cooler as well as an elevated surface that elevates 10 inches for use as an additional coffee or cocktail table when necessary.
Umbrellas
Umbrellas serve more than just decoration; they’re essential protection from both sun and rain. Patio umbrellas should be an integral part of every outdoor setting and will add another level of relaxation during your time spent outdoors, keeping both you and your guests dry from UV radiation as well as protecting table surfaces and any items placed upon it from moisture damage.
Consider your space and desired uses when selecting an umbrella. There is a range of sizes and shapes available – some freestanding while others may need to be inserted into a table’s base – with tilt features so you can customize shade direction as needed.
Cantilever umbrellas are an excellent addition to any outdoor table, providing shade without needing support from the ground. Available in a range of colors and patterns, cantilever umbrellas make an excellent addition to any patio set.
A key consideration when purchasing an umbrella is its frame. Aluminum provides lightweight and natural rust resistance; other frames may consist of hollow tubes welded together; for an exotic look you could also find wood and wrought iron frames.
As there are many advantages to purchasing a patio set, always pay attention to its quality before making your selection. Lower-end furniture tends to be cheaper but may become susceptible to cracking or breaking after only short use – therefore investing in high-quality patio furniture will offer lasting solutions over time.
Once you’ve selected the ideal patio set for your backyard, the next step should be selecting an umbrella to complete it. When choosing a shade that complements both your home’s color scheme and that of its furniture (lighter colors such as red or yellow are great accent pieces; darker ones such as navy blue and fern green can add an elegant feel), select something light in color such as navy blue.
For an updated, modern feel, retractable umbrellas may also be the way to go. Convenient and stylish, retractable umbrellas also help save on storage space while being easier to move around the patio than fixed ones.
Fire pits
Fire pits make the ideal addition to any outdoor dining space, providing a cozy focal point for socialising and looking great when surrounded by outdoor sofas or built-in bench seating with cushions topped. And sitting around an outside fire can be just as much fun at Halloween, Bonfire Night or Christmas Eve – not just summer!
Gas fire pits transform any patio into an all-season lounge space and are an effective way to add warmth into the home during cold, grey weather. There is an impressive variety of designs on the market from individual burners on pedestals to coffee table-looking models with simple bases – giving your guests something warm to sit around.
As a homeowner, installing a fire pit on your patio is an easy and attractive way to make your property more valuable and increase its resale value. More condominiums and apartments are including fire pits as part of their landscaping design because it makes living spaces more livable and welcoming.
Outdoor fire pits provide a fun way to gather with family and friends, as well as potentially improving your health by lowering blood pressure and relaxing your body. According to researchers, fire played an integral part in early human evolution by providing warmth for warmth-seeking insects as well as food storage capabilities.
Add an outdoor fire pit to your yard or garden easily, especially if your backyard is flat. All it takes to get it going is placing the fire pit where desired and setting up seating around it; chairs made of iron, rattan or wood with cushions attached can make this easy, or opt for one equipped with a grill grate that allows for direct flame cooking.
An outdoor fire pit can also make for a great entertainment option for families with young children, offering safe entertainment without electronics being used as distractions. Children will love roasting marshmallows or creating hot chocolate in the open air! Furthermore, having glowing flames in your backyard makes an excellent romantic backdrop!
