Furniture for the Garden and Patio
Written by Wicker Paradise
Patio furniture brings comfort along with function to outdoor spaces. With just a spacious table and some comfortable chairs, you can transform an ordinary patio to beautiful dining area or a cozy family lounge. A porch outfitted with a wicker sofa and some classic chairs with both of these piled with large cushions could be transformed to a second family room during the warmer months. There are plenty of options but consider the following tips before you go out and buy any outdoor furniture.
Plan out the space
First figure out what you want to do with the space. Options include a breakfast setup, outdoor dining or entertainment area etc. You can use google images or check pinterest, there are a lot of ideas that you can adapt to your own space. Once you figure out what you plan on doing with it, you can figure out what furniture and style you want.
Maintenance
Maintenance is one important aspect in choosing the right outdoor furniture. Since the furniture is exposed to the elements, go for durable materials that require minimal care. Materials such as wicker and cast-iron are less prone to weather changes.
- Color
The good thing about furniture for the outdoors is that it allows you to play with colors. Indoor furniture tends to be more conservative. Outdoors allows the use of burnt oranges and other earthy colors that go with any plants or foliage in the area.
