Outfitting your backyard takes careful thought to get right. Style, size and function must all come into play when choosing patio furniture that complements both your home and the elements – for dining tables as well as lounging spots!
Bring color or texture into your outdoor living space with modern outdoor pillows and rugs made of fade-resistant fabrics such as Sunbrella. Complete the look with lanterns, side tables and an inviting fire pit!
Chaise Lounges
Nothin says resort-like relaxation like the perfect chaise lounge. These full-body chairs feature an angled back and an extended seat that reaches to the ground to let you lie back for ultimate body comfort. Choose from various materials for designs to match any outdoor decor!
If you prefer the natural look of wood furniture, consider purchasing a teak outdoor chaise lounge. Constructed of durable teak wood, it stands up well against climate extremes including gusty winds. However, teak furniture tends to be more costly than its alternatives for outdoor furniture use.
Another viable choice is a rattan chaise lounge. Crafted of strong material woven in a wicker-style weave for strength, rattan comes both natural and resin versions; resin versions tend to last longer but still need regular care and maintenance.
Metal outdoor chaise lounges are also an elegant choice, featuring models crafted from sturdy metals such as aluminum or steel that can withstand weather elements like rainfall. Plus, these chairs require minimal care – occasional cleaning with a garden hose should suffice!
Add visual interest and privacy when relaxing poolside by adding an outdoor canopy canopy to your chaise lounge set. These structures fit over each chair, shielding them from direct sunlight while providing privacy when lounging poolside. Plus, their colors should coordinate perfectly with the upholstery on your lounges! Finish the area off with modern outdoor pillows which offer both lumbar support and splashes of color!
Tables & Chairs
Outdoor dining tables and chairs are essential components of a relaxing backyard seating area, available in numerous shapes, sizes and materials to match any deck or patio layout. Make sure that the furniture includes fade-resistant fabrics so it will withstand seasons of use.
If your backyard isn’t perfectly level, a simple patio rug will help stabilize table and chairs. However, for large garden parties or guests relaxing in your yard, plywood or another temporary flooring material may be more appropriate in ensuring it can support their weight while protecting landscaping and furniture from being damaged by excessive weight distribution.
Wicker patio furniture boasts an attractive woven design, typically constructed from palm tree stems. Today, however, synthetic resins can often mimic this aesthetic while providing long-term durability.
Take time to appreciate life’s simple pleasures–the high-pitched cricket chirp, lush green grass damp with dew, and the cool breeze blowing through your hair. Enjoy a glass of wine with friends or simply take time out in your outdoor lounge chair; for added comfort try an adjustable Trex chaise lounge that reclines.
Sofas & Loveseats
Bring the comfort of the living room outdoors with plush sofas and loveseats designed to accommodate two people comfortably. Complete your relaxing spot by matching these cozy pieces with ottomans and coffee tables in different colors, styles, materials or patterns that match perfectly to beautify your outdoor space.
Outdoor furniture provides an ideal space to relax with a good book or unwind by the pool with a refreshing glass of lemonade or summery tiki cocktail, whether that means lounging with an engaging novel, relaxing on lounge chairs ideal for tanning on pool deck, sectional sofas offering multiple seating arrangements, modular configuration options or even modern poufs that double as chairs, ottomans and side tables!
Choose durable materials like iron and aluminum that are weather and rust-resistant for lasting beauty, such as teak wood. Wicker outdoor furniture also makes an excellent option, while fade and stain-resistant fabric upholstery provides long-term softness on patio seating areas. Add modern outdoor throw pillows as accents and complete the look with a neutral patio runner to complete an attractive and functional porch layout.
Ottomans & Stools
Add ottomans and stools to your outdoor lounge furniture and you create the ideal spot for you and your guests to sit back, relax, and unwind. Use it as a footrest, coffee table for drinks and snacks, or prop it up for seating purposes – there is sure to be one that complements the aesthetic of your backyard oasis! With various designs, sizes, and finishes to choose from you are bound to find patio ottomans to match perfectly your existing furniture pieces and fit the atmosphere of your backyard oasis.
Ottomans are most often used as footstools, but they also make attractive outdoor side tables or coffee tables. Their distinctive looks often include nailhead or tufted details; many ottomans also have storage inside for extra seating options. And unlike sofas, love seats, and chairs which come equipped with backrests or armrests, ottomans allow you to sit with legs outstretched!
Contemporary designers push the envelope when it comes to ottomans and stools, crafting eye-catching designs that elegantly punctuate any space. You’ll find styles ranging from the simple and sleek – ideal for making garden and decor stand out – to vibrant colors and bold patterns to liven up deck or gazebo spaces. Choose between weather-resistant materials like teak and rattan for optimal weatherproof performance and weather-resistance; top brands like Blu Dot, Cane-Line and Loll Designs guarantee the ideal contemporary stool or ottoman for outdoor furniture collections!
Bar Carts & Bar Stools
Outdoor bar furniture provides another great way to upgrade your backyard and create a dedicated area for entertaining. Choose from an array of tables and stools designed specifically for bar seating to either match existing patio pieces or make a statement all their own. Crafted with durable materials to withstand outdoor elements, such as seating featuring backs or armrests for ultimate guest comfort while sitting or standing for prolonged periods, bar furniture should also feature durable construction that makes long periods comfortable for sitting or standing guests.
Bring drinks and supplies closer by choosing a table or cart with storage capabilities. A stylish outdoor bar cart from Room & Board makes an elegant addition to your backyard, featuring cabinets and drawers for additional storage as well as a flat top perfect for food or beverage service. Made of eco-friendly acacia wood and concrete for long-lasting beauty!
Portable home bars or kitchen islands are another ideal addition to your backyard. These versatile pieces provide extra surface area for dining and entertaining while being constructed from weather-resistant materials like teak or aluminum; plus, there is a range of styles and finishes available that are sure to match any decor in the space.
An outdoor countertop equipped with built-in drink holders is an invaluable asset to your backyard, keeping beverages within easy reach while eliminating the need to bring ice and beverages from home. Seed Studio Landscape Design’s freestanding wood bar comes complete with Edison bulb string lights and an attractive concrete fire pit perfect for warm Northern California evenings.
Outdoor Consoles
Outdoor consoles make an elegant and functional addition to any backyard furniture set. These slender tables can easily fit in entryways or behind sofas for additional surface area and design heightening. Find the best console to meet your needs by taking into account both the size of your outdoor space as well as what types of furniture best complement it.
Your outdoor backyard furniture should be constructed of material appropriate to its climate. An ideal frame will withstand cold temperatures without cracks or splinters; wood is an option, though not all varieties of it may be appropriate in cold climates such as when wetted with moisture. Poly lumber may be more suitable due to being weather resistant and handling melting snow better.
Metal furniture can withstand almost any climate condition and come in the form of wrought iron, stainless steel and aluminum – each available to paint or treat for added style and durability. Though heavy, this option requires additional upkeep compared to its wood or wicker counterparts.
Synthetic materials are budget-friendly and versatile, offering a range of colors to match your design scheme and being easy to maintain. However, their lifespan isn’t quite as long as natural frames; additionally they may fade in direct sunlight and therefore should be kept covered when not being used.
