When purchasing patio furniture, many individuals tend to place more importance on style and comfort than on climate and weather considerations. When making this choice, however, be mindful of local climate and weather conditions too.
Cast aluminum furniture offers easy care without the risk of rusting, while woods like ipe and eucalyptus will gradually develop a weathered patina with age. Tightly woven wicker offers sleek modernity.
Material
Your patio furniture must withstand exposure to various elements such as rain, sun and cold. Therefore it is crucial that you select an appropriate material for it if you want your furniture to last decades or more depending on its frequency of use.
The most resilient patio furniture is composed of materials that can withstand the elements and wear and tear, such as powder-coated aluminum and stainless steel, wood such as teak, ipe and shorea and metals such as brass that develop an attractive patina over time.
If you live in an area with frequent rainfall or high humidity, selecting water-resistant materials for outdoor furniture is also vitally important. Black Locust lumber has long been considered water resistant due to its natural water resistance; pioneers used it in building ships. Unfortunately, other materials require regular upkeep such as oiling and using harsh chemicals for upkeep; Black Locust resists mold mildew insects so you won’t spend much time maintaining its durability.
When selecting fabric for outdoor furniture, the primary factor should be finding something that complements your decor in terms of color and style. Certain materials fade quickly in direct sunlight; to select something durable over time it’s wise to select materials like solution-dyed acrylic from Sunbrella or Perennials that hold their colors well over time, olefin polyester vinyl are other good choices that may work as well.

Consider what activities are most important to you when choosing outdoor furniture for your space. If entertaining is important to you, focus on finding dining furniture that will create a welcoming space in your backyard for parties and gatherings. For relaxing purposes with family and friends, lounge chairs or sectionals with ample lounging room may be more suitable. Furthermore, if space is tight avoid chaise longues which take up too much room. Brook Klausing of Brook Landscape in Brooklyn warns against their romantic appeal but lack functionality; instead he advises focusing on dining tables and chairs when designing outdoor furniture instead.
Entertaining
Patio furniture selection can transform an outdoor area into a second family room, but the appropriate choice depends on its intended use. When making this decision, it’s essential to know exactly what pieces will meet your needs; for instance if entertaining guests is your primary goal then dining tables and chairs might be more suitable while for more comfort a sectional complete with sofas and loungers may be a better fit.
