Luxury outdoor furniture transforms a backyard into an opulent gathering space. When selecting your deck or poolside furniture for either your current home or a luxury property purchase, investing in high-quality pieces that stand the test of time is critical to ensure it continues looking as beautiful when first purchased.

Aluminum is one of the most commonly used outdoor materials due to its durability and rust resistance; while wrought and cast aluminum furniture are highly sought after for their aesthetic qualities and are typically painted with powder-coated paint to prevent chips or peeling.
Other durable material options for patio furniture include synthetic wicker, polyethylene resin and woven fabric.

Natural Teak
Teak wood is one of the most durable hardwoods available for outdoor furniture due to its natural protective oils and tight grain pattern, making it resistant to weather conditions and bugs while looking great years later. Furthermore, teak’s versatility offers clean lines as well as chunky proportions which blend in effortlessly into its modern setting.
As Grade-A teak ages, its natural patina gradually transforms to a handsome silvery gray that many homeowners find endearing. This gradual process starts as its tree secretes oils; depending on climate and exposure this process could take weeks or months before finally manifesting as silvery gray patina on furniture pieces. Teak sealers may help preserve this characteristic warm honey tone.
Grade-A teak’s natural oils make it water resistant, protecting it from moisture damage and mildew growth. To keep it looking its best, cleaning should take place 2-3 times each year in order to remove dirt build-up and avoid mold or mildew growth. In areas with extreme weather conditions such as snowfall or rainfall, waterproof covers may provide additional protection.

Wicker
Wicker weaving is an elegant, homey addition to any outdoor living space, adding both elegance and versatility. Perfect for urban courtyards as well as suburban sunrooms alike!
Selecting wicker furniture requires selecting sets made of sturdy materials that won’t unravel easily when stressed – consider purchasing sets with strong support frames that prevent their strands from dislodging easily, and ask to see them firsthand before buying!
Well-made wicker furniture should last between 10-30 years when properly maintained both indoors and outdoors, depending on its exposure to direct sunlight and moisture. Furniture made from less sturdy wicker materials such as bamboo or thinner reed is best left indoors until mild weather arrives, or should only be brought outdoors during mild days.
An important element when shopping for wicker furniture is to decide between natural and synthetic sets. Natural wicker is constructed using natural materials like cane or reed; synthetic sets typically utilize plastic or resin that mimic the appearance of natural materials like cane and reed. Both options have their own benefits and drawbacks; natural rattan typically has more traditional aesthetic.
