Durability
Wicker furniture stands up well against the elements, with most outdoor sets including weather-resistant protective coverings for its cushions. Wicker is an exceptionally sturdy material that resists fading, mold and mildew growth as well as many household cleaners; nonetheless it’s important to adhere to some maintenance guidelines in order to keep your outdoor set looking its best.
Maintaining the appearance of wicker outdoor furniture sets means keeping them free from dust, dirt and other forms of debris that could stain it. A soft brush should be used regularly to brush away this detritus while investing in a vacuum with a brush attachment can also help. When mud or grime does accumulate on these pieces, gently spray away with water; just be careful not to apply too powerful of a stream as this could stretch and distort its shape!

Wicker chairs feature geometric designs for modern chic while sofas and sectionals come in shapes similar to interior seating – ideal pieces to accessorize with cushions and throw blankets that match the style of any outdoor setting, be it coastal, traditional, or something in between!
If your wicker outdoor furniture set is made of resin, it should be protected from intense sunlight. While most plastics don’t mind direct sunlight exposure, heat from direct sunlight can weaken resin over time, leading to faded and cracked plastic pieces. If this concerns you, a spray-on furniture protectorant may provide added security against UV radiation damage.
When it comes to synthetic wicker furniture, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is usually the material of choice. While PVC offers low production costs and durability benefits, HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) wicker sets may offer greater resilience against UV radiation from sunlight.
Style
Wicker furniture is timeless and classic, making it suitable for all living spaces. With its natural texture blending well with most outdoor materials, wicker outdoor furniture sets come in an assortment of finishes to fit into any color scheme and reflect your personal style – be it neutral tones and clean lines for modern settings or more rustic or country cottage aesthetics.
Material selection for your wicker furniture is also crucial. All-weather wicker is often preferred due to its ability to withstand full sun without degrading over time, while synthetic pieces contain chemicals which reduce its durability compared to organic plant materials. When searching for synthetic options make sure it comes equipped with rustproof aluminum frames and quality cushions made with water-repellent fabrics like Sunbrella.
As much as wicker is a style rather than a material, natural rattan harvested from tropical rainforest vines is used in weaving furniture with this style. When combined with sturdy aluminum or steel frames for long-term weatherproof furniture pieces, these weaving techniques ensure long lasting pieces.
