An attractive patio can transform any home into an idyllic retreat. Take advantage of outdoor furniture sales to create a stylish yet comfortable outdoor living area.
High-quality outdoor furnishings will weather the elements beautifully for years. Choose materials like rattan, wicker and natural grasses.
Weather-Resistant Materials
Picking weather-resistant materials for outdoor furniture, from its frame and cushion fabric to the actual material itself, is key to long-term comfort and durability. Woods like teak, eucalyptus and cedar naturally resist pests, rot and moisture; resin wicker provides the traditional look of natural rattan but with increased strength; while metals such as aluminum are lightweight yet rustproof and long-term reliable materials.
Metal furniture is an increasingly popular choice for outdoor seating due to its strength, durability and adaptability to differing weather conditions. Bare metal can rust quickly; for maximum rust-proofing benefits select those coated with an anti-rusting agent such as anodizing. Aluminum offers sleek contemporary styles while wrought iron offers more ornate options that work with industrial designs.
Plastic furniture has seen an upsurge in popularity recently, offering many great choices to select from. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene and impact-resistant polycarbonate are durable, cost-effective options perfect for outdoor furniture that won’t require as much upkeep compared to other materials.
Comfortable Cushions
Comfort should always come first when selecting outdoor furniture cushions, whether for long periods of sitting time. When searching for outdoor cushions that prioritize comfort over durability and weather resistance, look for soft luxurious fabrics such as velvet or chenille that provide plush feel; additionally breathable materials allow air circulation for air flow which prevents too much heat build-up while using the cushions.
When purchasing cushions, it’s essential to select one with appropriate size and shape. A dining chair cushion with 20-inch seat depth works for most heights while helping promote proper posture when sitting up for meals or reading in direct sunlight.
For more seating options, consider investing in a sectional sofa set. With multiple components to customize your design to meet your space and needs, these sets include corner chairs, armless chairs and right/left arm chairs to give maximum design flexibility. Constructed from POLYWOOD material and covered with your choice of performance fabric – which has inherent resistance against dewdrops and rainwater while being soft to touch, performance fabrics also come equipped with fibers specifically woven for outdoor life – they’re made to endure outdoor conditions while remaining soft to touch – perfect for alfresco living!
Durable Fabrics
When selecting durable fabric for outdoor furniture, the key is selecting something that can withstand all forms of exposure to weather and elements – spilled drinks, sauce-covered fingers, dirty shoes, organic debris and sunlight are just a few factors that may damage it over time. Furthermore, when considering frequency of usage as well as climate in your area – heat and humidity can cause wood splinters while rain may wear down metal frames and sunlight can fade fabrics over time.
As there are a variety of durable outdoor furniture options to consider when searching for furniture, the possibilities available to you when shopping are plentiful. Acrylic solution-dyed fabrics are often chosen due to their ability to resist UV rays, mold and mildew growth as well as being water-repellant and quick to dry; additionally they’re moisture resistant helping avoid any potential moisture-induced damage to them. Alternatively recycled PET (RPET) fabrics have become an eco-friendly choice. Although not as long-lasting as acrylic fabrics with proper care they can last up to 5 years with proper upkeep!
Invest in Premium Materials
Many high-end outdoor furniture brands employ talented craftspeople to bring their designs to life, which translates to higher prices for each piece. On the other hand, cheaper outdoor sets may use low-grade materials like PVC and polypropylene that may fade or rust when exposed to sun and rain.
High-quality outdoor furniture is more robust than its cheaper counterparts, providing your clients with greater health benefits – sitting for long periods in low-quality chairs can cause back, neck, and hip pain; furthermore, homeowners who opt for inferior quality furnishings may need to remove them prior to selling their homes.
Your clients could save even more by shopping during off-season sales. Between August and October, outdoor furniture prices tend to decline significantly with some retailers even offering discounts of up to 75%! Furthermore, purchasing their furniture directly from manufacturers may allow them to save even more as manufacturers can negotiate pricing with fabric, foam and metal suppliers directly.
Seasonal Trends
Selecting the appropriate patio furniture can transform your outdoor space into an inviting retreat. Choose from a selection of modern outdoor lounge chairs, sofas, chaises, side and coffee tables, benches and dining tables that suit your unique style – as well as umbrellas to provide shade from either sunlight or rain.
Integrating seasonal trends into your patio furniture design is an easy way to keep it up-to-date each season, including adding different colors and patterns into your decor. Earth tones such as deep browns and greens create a relaxing environment which pairs nicely with materials such as teak and wicker; patterns inspired by organic shapes and textures make a striking statement about style when added to outdoor furniture for sale.
Sustainable materials have long been a trend in outdoor furniture design. Bamboo furniture provides a beautiful natural aesthetic without contributing to deforestation, while High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Wicker furniture offers similar visuals without needing as much upkeep.
Reclaimed wood offers another eco-friendly choice for your patio. Not only is this material highly durable and visually appealing, it often has an interesting past which makes it stand out as part of its charm.
Online Shopping
Your outdoor space should reflect your personal style, with furniture to match. When shopping online for patio furniture that meets this criteria, whether for breakfast at a bistro set or hosting a barbecue with friends. Find designs from modern sofas to sectionals and coffee tables; discover collections such as Bridgehampton (made of durable metal with powder-coated finish) and Lucca (elegant concrete pieces).
