Choose furniture that complements the natural colors of your patio. Rich hues set the scene for chairs, tables and benches that highlight design details such as curvaceous lines or angular forms.
Small patio layouts benefit from multifunctional furniture that meets all seating needs. Look for pieces like ottomans that provide storage as well as seats to maximize floor space savings and free up more floor space.
Comfortable Seating
If your outdoor furniture will be used for reading and relaxing, the key to selecting pieces that provide optimal comfort will be selecting pieces made from breathable fabrics that will withstand the elements. While Olefin fiber and vinyl may be durable and easy to maintain, direct sunlight could heat them up over time causing discomfort when touching them directly; solution-dyed acrylic offers soft comfort year-round.
When choosing your patio seating solution, look for chairs with adjustable backs to find the ideal angle for lumbar support. This feature can help ease strain on the spine caused by back injuries or problems; or consider purchasing a modular sofa set that can be configured into different configurations for multiple uses around both poolside and fireside seating situations.
An effective coffee table can also serve as a cornerstone of patio furniture. Look for one large enough to store appetizers, entrees, drinks and random rocks from the garden! Many great coffee tables match lounge chairs and loveseats perfectly so that an L- or U-shaped configuration is easily created for entertaining purposes. Furthermore, look for one with additional storage such as a bottom shelf where extra pillows, blankets or patio accessories can be stored safely away.
