Purchase patio furniture carefully when planning to enhance or redesign an outdoor space, whether adding accent pieces to an existing layout or setting up an entire deck design. Keep these shopping tips in mind as you browse online or local brick-and-mortar stores.
Shoppers looking to save money should shop during the off-season. As stores transition their inventory towards autumn and winter stock, their summer offerings become cheaper.
Wicker
Wicker furniture has long been considered an art form, and today its timeless beauty can be found anywhere from city apartments and suburban sunrooms to breezy island getaways. Thanks to modern materials, this classic design now provides unprecedented levels of comfort and durability – choose between rattan or all-weather synthetic resin furniture options for an elegant upgrade that blends effortlessly into any decor scheme.
Shop for wicker chair sets to enhance your outdoor lounge space or choose a complete dining table and chairs set made entirely from wicker for the most luxurious feeling balcony dining experience. Some wicker tables even include built-in beverage coolers for chilled beverages or snacks!
The finest wicker furniture sets are constructed of high-quality materials to withstand the elements and last for many years of service. Look for frames made of aluminum or steel with rustproof frames made up of synthetic rattan wicker made from high density polyethylene (HDPE), which is more resistant than lower-grade PVC synthetics when it comes to fading, cracking and splitting over time. Additionally, HDPE synthetics tend to be much more durable against damage from sunlight exposure as well as natural elements than PVC synthetics made out of lower quality PVC synthetics.
Choose from an array of color palettes and designs to fit your aesthetic, from modern to traditional. Rattan or wicker furniture in ivory or seagrass shades is perfect for creating a tropical or coastal ambiance; otherwise add drama with black finishes for a more dramatic touch in patio decor.
Wicker furniture provides an easy-care, lightweight alternative to heavier materials like teak and metal. Additionally, its moisture and mildew resistant properties make it perfect for indoor/outdoor spaces – when selecting wicker sofas, chairs or ottomans be sure to choose ones upholstered with cushions made from moisture-wicking fabrics for best results.
The top retailers for wicker furniture offer an extensive range of styles and colors to meet every taste and decor style. Consider brands such as Harmonia Living and Summerset Way that specialize in wicker products – they specialize in everyday elegance with intricately detailed pieces such as slanted frames or textured wicker finishes that accentuate each weave’s texture.
Metal
Metal patio furniture provides elegant durability that fits in seamlessly with any decor motif. Crafted from sturdy materials like wrought iron, aluminum and cast aluminum that resist moisture, wind and mildew. Plus, powder coating provides fade-free colors for frames and seats that won’t chip or peel with use! Select standard chairs, lounges and dining tables or go for an entire layout ready to host gatherings and celebrate special occasions.
metal furnishings offer an ideal way to maintain cool temperatures on a patio or deck without the heat-absorbing qualities of wood and rattan furniture. Not only can it withstand the elements for years, it requires only periodic cleaning and occasional maintenance to remain looking its best. Some models feature hammered or textured surfaces for enhanced visual appeal while others come polished smooth with UV-protected cushions – offering both modern and classic styles in one convenient package! Black metal furnishings make an ideal centerpiece for your outdoor living space!
Deck out your porch or lanai with black metal seating arrangements that invite family and friends to unwind. Sink back into a metal-framed chaise lounge featuring soft tan cushions for a relaxing spot on your patio, arrange a wrought iron and glass conversation set by the fire pit, or outfit your patio bar with metal counter height stools to complement a wood or stone table.
Traditional designs with deep black finishes provide your patio with an eye-catching classic aesthetic, making it easy to pair it with fabrics and materials of various kinds. Choose distressed charcoal finishes on cast aluminum and wrought iron pieces for a weathered feel, or opt for sleek silhouettes with slim legs for contemporary updates.
Molded plastic and woven rattan furniture like teak and other wooden furnishings retain less heat than metal furnishings, making them better suited to casual and rustic settings. Their natural oils also protect them against moisture intrusion and pest infestation, so you can enjoy their beauty without fearing damage or wear-and-tear issues.

Accessories
Outdoor furniture accessories that complement the design and decor of your patio layout add an aesthetic element. Throw pillows, rugs, canopies and umbrellas can help bring your backyard oasis to life, as well as adding functionality beyond lounge area use such as an entertainment center or dining area.
Patio accessories come in a wide array of colors, patterns and materials – some designed to bring peace and serenity through earth tones and textured fabrics; others with upbeat and modern flair. There are also useful accessories like storage benches that add convenience – keep tools, cleaners and other patio essentials out of sight when not being used!
When buying outdoor furniture accessories, the ideal time and place to do so is during an ongoing sale or event. Black Friday in November is often when home furnishing retailers hold sales on patio furniture and accessories while Labor Day weekend can provide other great opportunities.
Alongside furniture and accessory deals, some retailers also provide seasonal coupons as an incentive to shop with them. These discounts apply both individually or to entire collections so customers can easily find what they need while saving money in the process.
Before purchasing any accessories, ensure they match the colors and finishes of your furniture. Experiment with different accents until one works well before making purchases accordingly. A well-matched color scheme will create an integrated patio design. If you need help selecting accent pieces that complement existing patio furniture, an NFM store team member is happy to set up an appointment or virtual shopping consultation in store or virtual to guide your selection process and help select suitable items for outdoor decor.
