Brick patios make for the ideal canvas for modern outdoor furniture that features sleek lines and minimalist styles, such as modern chairs with sleek lines or minimalist tables with color or weave patterns that complement one another. Shared elements between chairs and tables such as color, weave pattern or shape can bring the entire design together seamlessly.
Search end-of-season inventory sales during fall and winter for discounts on furniture purchases, while major shopping holidays such as Black Friday or Memorial Day could offer further opportunities.
Style
Landscape professionals will assist in selecting outdoor furniture that complements both your brick patio and the rest of your backyard design. For example, modern-style patios require furniture with clean lines and muted colors while cottage-style brick patios may need furniture with more decorative details and curving shapes.
Your furniture should complement the color of your patio pavers or the predominant shade in your backyard, for a seamless aesthetic. A dark-colored patio featuring pavers ranging from rich brown to deep charcoal pairs perfectly with elegant black furniture while light-colored patios with sandstone seating and tables look striking when accented with cream colored outdoor cushions and furniture.
Consider texture when selecting furniture for your brick patio as well as color. Rougher textured pavers fit well with rustic theme patios while smoother brick or concrete works better with contemporary ones. When installing new brick patios, landscape professionals will offer advice about which stamp pattern would work best with its surface and theme.
Patio tables, seats and benches come in an array of styles – from traditional stone dining furniture to casual loungers suited for relaxing after a meal. For something more contemporary you may prefer metal outdoor furniture like heavy bases that make tables difficult to tip over as well as its many finishes such as industrial steel and sophisticated copper finishes.
If your backyard is home to many flowering plants, matching the tone of outdoor furniture to their colors is easy. For instance, if lilies fill your flower bed, lounge chairs made of brick and fabric with matching purple hues could add an elegant look that complements the natural surroundings. Or use matching brick to form curved retaining walls or raised garden beds before filling them with an assortment of blooms for an eye-catching display!
Comfort
Comfort should always come first when selecting brick patio furniture, as you’ll be lounging, entertaining, and dining on it for months on end. Our landscape professionals can assist in choosing deep seating or outdoor couches that combine style with comfort, considering factors like cushion thickness, fabric durability, sewing details that create sleek silhouettes and so forth.
Consider investing in a modern outdoor table for your patio. A quality patio table can transform your garden into an exquisite dining destination, providing ample seating and making a basic brick patio into a family-friendly gathering space; additionally, pairing it with matching side or coffee tables adds the final touches to a balcony or pocket garden.
One last consideration about comfort: If your brick patio furniture is not level, it’s wise to rectify it immediately. Uneven surfaces place undue stress on certain parts of the seat and back that could accelerate degeneration faster than expected. Leveling can be accomplished easily: just check for slot holes on the underside of legs with slot holes and turn clockwise or counterclockwise depending on your desired level of elevation or lowering.

Durability
No matter the size or scope of your backyard patio or garden nook, with careful planning it can become a comfortable family gathering space. Start by selecting table and chairs that are as spacious and easy to use as those inside your home; add pillows, blankets, statues or candles as additional decor, inviting family and friends alike to come over for dinner or reading in an idyllic outdoor environment.
Modern outdoor furniture comes in an assortment of materials that complement brick patios while remaining long-term durable. Consider how and how often your space will be utilized before selecting materials that can withstand wear and tear: metal may rust over time while wood needs regular staining and sealing while wicker can become brittle or crack over time.
Consider the sun exposure and weather conditions in the area where your patio will be situated when choosing furniture for it. Steel furniture can be effective against windy environments but should be stored indoors during the winter months or covered with breathable covers to maintain its shape. Wood and wrought iron pieces may rot in damp or hot climates if left exposed – teak and cedar wood have natural enzymes which protect them from this fate; they should still be treated periodically with stain or oil to preserve them for future use.
Easy care and durable patio furniture will turn your brick patio into a place you want to spend time without having to worry about maintenance. Choose wood furniture treated with sealants to preserve its beautiful appearance, or wrought-iron sets that require only minimal upkeep over time. Wicker sets featuring all-weather cushions offer comfort while remaining low maintenance. Make sure to vacuum or sweep woven surfaces periodically in order to remove dirt and debris, using a mild soap and water mixture as appropriate, while flipping and washing cushions is recommended to avoid discoloration or mold and mildew growth. Furthermore, during winter months breathable covers should be utilized in order to maintain their appearance while protecting from moisture damage.
Value
Selecting patio furniture that offers both comfort and value to your home is an invaluable investment in both its comfort and value. Durable outdoor pieces designed to withstand wind, sun and rain will ensure your brick patio remains beautiful and comfortable for years. To get the most out of your patio experience, it should complement other areas in your backyard space and be versatile enough to complement other parts of the space.
As with any purchase, paying attention to seasonal trends when purchasing patio furniture is key. Many retailers hold sales throughout the year to draw in customers and clear out inventory at steep discounts, so keeping an eye on sales at your favorite stores as well as subscribing to email newsletters or following them on social media can keep you up-to-date.
If you’re shopping for patio chairs and sofas to put on your new brick patio, the fall and winter seasons tend to offer the lowest prices when furniture sales are in low demand. Be sure to purchase furniture that can withstand weather-resistant materials such as metal or teak so it can withstand your climate’s elements.
As mentioned previously, when purchasing your patio furniture from a brick and mortar showroom, the manufacturer’s online policies can impact whether or not its product is displayed with pricing (MAP), while showroom pricing determines what its MAP price will be. While online shopping for patio furniture can be convenient, sitting down, feeling, moving and orienting furniture before making a final decision can give a much clearer sense of its fabric and color options in person – many brick and mortar showrooms carry samples of recent patio pieces to test and will work with customers to negotiate the best deal possible on pieces suitable for their backyard oasis!
