Seating
When furnishing an outdoor patio, deck, or porch space, take the time to consider its purpose and what type of seating will work best for your family and guests. Are you creating a lounge area for reading and conversation or an al fresco dining spot – or both? – then select fabric styles that compliment both the purpose of the space as well as any indoor living rooms within the house (for instance coastal-themed indoor living rooms may benefit from coordinated patio furniture to make their backyard retreat feel connected).
Patio furniture comes in various materials to meet the specific needs and style preferences of its users. Metal is often chosen due to its ability to withstand outdoor elements with little maintenance required, while classic wooden or wicker options also remain popular as comfortable options.
Consider both color and texture when choosing your seat material. Light-colored fabrics like linen and cotton tend to be lighter and less bulky than upholstered sofas, making them great choices for smaller spaces like apartments. Darker colored tweed or canvas fabrics tend to be more rugged; therefore making them suitable for larger areas and those receiving less direct sunlight.
Bistro tables can be an ideal solution for smaller spaces. Not only can they serve as dining and drinking tables, but they’re also versatile coffee tables when not being used for either dining or drinking purposes. Finding one to fit in perfectly is simple, while you can easily add additional seating such as stools or chairs when necessary.
Another seating option is to create an intimate conversation nook by adding an outdoor sofa and pair of chairs, ideal for families that like spending time outside together. Not only will this take advantage of your yard’s natural scenery while creating an calming ambiance – but it could be fun!
If you want an upscale appearance, create a symmetrical seating arrangement by arranging an outdoor sofa and pair of chairs directly across from one another. To spark conversation between these seats, add a side table between them – for an alternative approach try placing an “L”-shaped sofa in one corner with an “L”-shaped sofa near it as well. Both arrangements provide enough seating room.
Conversation
Remodel your patio into a peaceful retreat with high-quality home living patio furniture from home living. Choose from options such as conversation sets, sofas and sectionals, chairs, loungers and hammocks for the ideal seating solution in your backyard, garden, balcony or poolside area. Cushions on these outdoor couches feature covers designed to withstand UV radiation while remaining fade-resistant, water repellent and machine washable – plus modular sofa styles can be easily assembled or separated according to seating needs.
Add a patio conversation set with fire pit for comfortable conversations and entertainment with friends and family, or create an intimate space by placing only a few chairs around it for one-on-one conversations and story sharing.
Storage
An intimate firepit on a cold winter evening or an all-inclusive cookout are wonderful ways to create memories with loved ones, yet improper storage of patio furniture between uses could result in its loss of appearance and possible damage. Therefore, taking steps to preserve and safeguard your investment by taking proper steps for storage is vitally important.
Indoor storage also helps protect patio furniture from “porch pirates” and thieves who target outdoor spaces for vandalism and theft. Indoor storage also extends its life by protecting it from excessive sunlight exposure, rainwater runoff and mold/mildew growth.
Before storing outdoor furniture and cushions, it is wise to thoroughly clean them to prevent dirt build-up that could result in mold or mildew when exposed to moisture. Once they’ve been thoroughly cleansed, be sure to allow enough drying time – especially important if fabrics can become damaged by excess humidity.
When it comes to storing furniture, take care to organize and label each piece to make reassembly easier when spring rolls around. Also consider applying rust-inhibiting lubricant on metal parts in order to avoid corrosion over extended storage periods. Ideally choose a climate-controlled storage unit as this will protect against extreme temperatures and humidity levels that could potentially cause damage.
An alternative strategy for storing patio furniture is investing in multi-functional pieces like storage benches. These versatile seating pieces can serve multiple functions – seating, footrest and hidden storage! This approach to expanding storage without adding clutter or taking away floor space is an effective solution for increasing home storage without taking away floor space from other pieces.
Are You Organising a Party at Home or Thanksgiving Dinner? Home living patio furniture is an invaluable investment that can bring years of pleasure and comfort for both. Storing it correctly is key in order to protect it from damage and extend its lifespan.
