No matter your aesthetic – from natural wood and wicker to more contemporary pieces – there’s outdoor deck furniture out there that fits both. Look for quality resin materials that withstand weather-related damage for optimal performance.
Durable patio seating includes lounge chairs, loveseats and modular outdoor sectional sofas with dining tables that coordinate. When shopping for durable patio furniture, look for performance fabrics that resist stains and fades so muddy bakery spills won’t ruin your new cushions.
Seating Options
Seating is an essential component of deck design. From cozy conversations areas to dining al fresco, seating pieces should create spaces that are both stylish and practical – Frontgate offers a selection of furniture that will complement both home and backyard while giving you comfortable places for family and friends to gather together.
As part of your selection process for deck furniture, take into account both current and future seating needs when making decisions on style and design. For a casual coastal and country decor aesthetic, wicker chairs or benches with woven patterns make an excellent addition – these pieces can even be arranged round or square for cozy conversations! However, for hosting dinner parties opt for more formal outdoor dining tables capable of seating eight.
Natural materials like rattan and wicker may be appealing and durable, yet require regular refinishing or weatherproofing treatments in order to retain their beauty. Metal wrought iron or aluminum furniture is lightweight yet rust-proof; wooden and metal furniture made from solid cedar, teak or redwood may last decades with proper care if made rustproof by using screws that feature anti-rust finishes and provide splinter-free finishes – when selecting outdoor furniture be on the lookout for these qualities as well.
When purchasing deep-seating deck furniture, opt for high-quality cushions made with all-weather performance fabric that can withstand the elements. Such fabric features water resistance, fade protection and UV ray protection so you can enjoy it throughout the year.
Ensure your deck’s stunning view takes center stage by selecting seating that allows you to appreciate it fully, such as built-in bars that make serving cocktails or burgers while admiring stunning seashore or city skylines easy. A stone bar can even serve as an eye-catching centerpiece that connects it with its surrounding environment.
Mix-and-match seating arrangements add visual interest while helping you save on budget by not purchasing an entire set of furniture. Choose a neutral hue for the chairs, sofas and other upholstered pieces on your deck; pair these pieces with accessories like throw pillows or vases that tie their colors together for visual interest, lanterns or hanging string lights can illuminate it softly for added lighting effect.
Fire Pits
Be it the centerpiece of your backyard seating arrangement or simply an aesthetic addition, fire pits can create an inviting ambience in any backyard seating arrangement. Wood-burning and gas-powered fire pits both provide options that provide greater flexibility; whether choosing wood or gas power make sure you adhere to local fire pit regulations in your area, as these could include minimum clearance requirements as well as landscaping specifications designed to prevent sparks that might spark and ignite an incident.
Height should be one of your primary concerns when purchasing a patio fire table, especially if you plan on placing chairs around it. A typical design sits between fifteen and 25 inches high with higher options also being available. When making this decision, consider your seating height preferences as well as how they will work within the framework of your outdoor dining set when selecting an ideal height for yourself.
Once you have determined the ideal size of fire pit for your outdoor space, the next step should be deciding the material it will be made out of. Stone — both slab and mosaic designs — metals such as brass and aluminum as well as mixed materials are popular choices for home-built outdoor fire tables. Please keep in mind that some materials might stain more easily than others and therefore for long-term durability and maintenance ease, natural materials would likely make for the best choice for constructing it.
Round fire pits are perfect for creating intimate settings that invite conversation and relaxation, while rectangular designs feature sleek lines to complement modern patio furniture styles. A low or high design may also add visual interest in your backyard seating arrangement – with some designs even featuring panes of glass to accentuate flames while maintaining atmosphere.
Are you searching for an eye-catching centerpiece to add to your deck? Consider installing a fire pit cocktail table. These versatile pieces offer built-in beverage trays and an elevated fire bowl component, giving easy access to drinks and snacks when combined with matching patio tables. They’re great options for small patio ideas that want to maximize space without compromising style, while they can make a welcome addition when pairing with Adirondack chairs for seating arrangements.
Storage
Storage furniture is an integral component of outdoor deck furniture, enabling cushions, pillows and other items to remain dry and safe when not in use. Your options for deck storage range from simple traditional chests to more extravagant cabinets; ultimately the right one for you depends on both space available as well as desired look of storage furniture.
Plastic bins with lids are an excellent way to protect outdoor cushion sets when not in use, thanks to their wide selection of sizes that fit any size cushion and their weather-resistant lids. Deck boxes are another popular solution; many are constructed out of either resin or wood and feature lockable doors and weatherproof features; some even come equipped with shelves and drawers for additional storage needs.
If you have multiple cushions to store, a storage bench is an ideal solution that doubles as seating. Low to the ground and natural looking on any deck, they can be locked for extra security and some models feature cushioned seating to increase comfort during seating sessions.
Storage cabinets can provide an efficient solution for housing larger equipment and accessories like umbrella canopies, deflated loungers and pool toys. Many styles match other outdoor furniture styles seamlessly for optimal organization and protection from harsh weather conditions. Storage cabinets may even help save you from losing or damaging equipment during storage!
For smaller items like rugs and tabletop decor, such as deck storage carts may be ideal. With wheels designed to roll easily across your deck surface, they make moving them from place to place simple. There is an array of deck storage cart styles available so it is important to find one that complements the overall aesthetic of your deck space.
Add an elegant finishing touch to your deck by including a wicker storage trunk in the mix. This lovely piece of furniture makes a lovely statement in any home and can be used both indoor and outdoor storage purposes – great for extra blankets, pillows and towels in guest bedrooms/baths or as centerpieces on outdoor patios.
Accessories
A well-designed deck cannot be considered complete without accessories that add functionality and aesthetic value. Outdoor furniture accessories come in different styles, materials and colors to perfectly complement existing decor on patios, porches and balconies. No matter the size of your outdoor space, these unique accessories help make the most of time spent outside with family and friends.
Outdoor rugs add color and texture to a patio or deck, while weatherproof outdoor tables add practicality to your dining or entertainment area. A pergola, however, makes an eye-catching statement while also offering shade.
Other deck furniture accessories include a poly cup holder that allows you to keep your beverage within easy reach, a poly settee table connecter that allows for reconfiguring seating layout of settee and bench sets, as well as an add-on foot stool that adds extra comfort to seating arrangements. All of these durable accessories can withstand even the harshest outdoor environments without losing their appeal or style.
