Size
Before purchasing deck furniture, it is crucial to ascertain how much square footage your outdoor space can accommodate. This will enable you to efficiently furnish it without overcrowding or blocking walkways and other features of importance – for instance a 12′ by 16′ deck can fit two distinct usable areas that can be furnished with different styles of outdoor furnishings for entertaining or relaxing – seating sets typically consisting of durable couches/loveseats/chairs paired with coffee/cocktail tables are often ideal. Larger decks may benefit from modular sectional sofas which expand easily to provide seating/lounge space during parties if required – great additions!
Dining sets offer the perfect way to add an elegant dining space in any suburban townhome, rustic cabin or urban retreat. Each dining set contains a sturdy table complemented with durable dining chairs or bar stools for optimal seating arrangements. These sets can make an excellent centerpiece!
Material
Material selection for deck furniture sets is of great significance when choosing the ideal set. Some synthetic options require only minimal upkeep and weatherproofing measures to withstand outdoor elements – these include plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and acrylic – polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Composite furniture is typically created by combining synthetic resin materials and natural softwood or hardwood fibers into weatherproof and waterproof blends that feature UV stabilizers or other additiions for outdoor conditions. To help these materials withstand sunlight exposure and other severe outdoor conditions, they often come equipped with UV protectors or additives to aid them in withstanding sunlight exposure and other harsh environmental elements.
Hardwoods such as redwood and ipe are widely used to craft patio furniture. Both species offer long-term durability with natural resistance against moisture, rot, insects and heat damage for an impressive 30+ year lifespan with proper care. Their warm colors complement many exterior design schemes while providing durability in outdoor applications.
Style
Furnish your deck with outdoor furniture sets that perfectly complement the design of your exterior. No matter your preferred aesthetic – whether relaxing or creating an edge – there are options available that will turn your backyard into an inviting space where friends and family alike can gather to entertain or simply unwind.
Add an elegant touch to your patio with wood deck furniture sets available in various finishes. Select a set with modern stainless steel framing for a contemporary aesthetic, or go traditional with classic wooden chairs and tables for a more classic feel. There are even rocking chair styles designed specifically to help you relax and take in the sounds of crickets and the fresh green grass still wet with dewdrops.
Comfort
Design your larger deck as an inviting haven with seating arrangements that create a relaxing haven to enjoy sunny afternoons, evenings and weekend barbeques. Comfort-oriented lounge chairs and sofas feature plush cushions to make lounging outdoors even more inviting. Choose a sofa sectional set with multiple component combinations for flexibility in adding more seating in the future; these pieces may require an initial investment; however, long-term savings and versatile seating solutions await in this type of furniture investment.
When your deck has multiple usable areas, try allocating one set for each function. For instance, outfit your lounge area with an outdoor couch and coffee table for cocktails and conversation or unwinding with a book; outfit the dining area with durable table and chair sets to host dinner parties and get-togethers; add an outdoor storage bench to keep pillows, blankets and chairs organized when not being used; consider deck rugs to define space while protecting patio furniture from weathering and spills; deck rugs are also helpful when creating separate seating areas on decks where dining tables or dining tables aren’t being used – perfect when creating separate lounge areas!
