An impressive patio seating furniture setup can turn any deck or porch into an inviting outdoor living room, featuring dining tables and chair sets, rocking chairs and Adirondack chairs, creating the ideal place for socialising and relaxation.
Durable patio furniture can be made of various materials. While some materials stand up well against the elements, others develop an aged patina over time.
Teak
Teak wood furniture stands out as an exceptional combination of durability and style, making it the ideal material for outdoor furniture. While plastic, wicker, and metal all degrade over time in direct sunlight or under harsh elements such as moisture exposure, teak naturally resists moisture retention so it will never warp or twist over time, remaining warp free during use.
To preserve its natural beauty, teak furniture should be regularly washed in a solution of soapy water and scrubbed using a brush in the direction of its wood grain. Rinsing off this liquid and leaving to dry completely is all that is necessary for keeping its look.
Over time, untreated teak will gradually age to an exquisite silver or grey hue as it adapts to its environment. This natural process does not compromise durability or structural integrity of furniture pieces and can even be reversed with regular cleanings.
If you prefer your teak furniture to retain its original honey hue, applying linseed or tung oil after every cleaning may help preserve its honey tone. Although this step is entirely optional and not essential, applying this oil helps shield the furniture from water damage caused by sunlight exposure and water exposure. In winter months store it in a well-ventilated shed in order to avoid drying it out and becoming brittle; similarly when moving furniture make sure that when moving it is done carefully by lifting rather than dragging or compressing. When moving furniture make sure to move it with care when moving it around obstacles such as ceramic plant pots or walls when moving furniture around obstacles such as ceramic plant pots and walls!
Cast Aluminum
Cast aluminum patio furniture adds timeless beauty to backyard gardens, brick patios and enclosed porches. Its detailed beauty creates an eye-catching focal point that melds beautifully into any setting – backyard gardens, brick patios or enclosed porches alike. Furthermore, this material makes it easy to dress up for formal dinner parties or keep casual while lounging under the sun – you’re sure to find an option that matches your personal taste in terms of color and finish options!
Due to its durable metal composition, outdoor aluminum furniture requires little in the way of upkeep or care to remain looking its best. A quick hose down with soapy water should do the trick for most types of aluminum furniture; otherwise a touch-up paint may suffice if there are chips or scratches in its powder coating – make sure that it’s metal-specific to guarantee its longevity!
Aluminum patio seating needs to be protected with quality covers to safeguard it against the elements, protecting it from abrasions, heat and UV damage, snowfall and rain. Another way to extend its lifespan is applying metal sealant periodically or repainting with paint tailored specifically for metals such as an outdoor powder-coat paint finish; when painting aluminum furniture it is wise to test an inconspicuous area before proceeding with this process.
Outdoor Dining Sets
Outdoor dining sets make the perfect centerpieces for backyard gatherings, intimate dinners, and memorable family get-togethers. Constructed from weatherproof materials that withstand wear and tear while remaining elegant in design, you can select your ideal patio set from an array of styles, sizes and accessory options available – you might just find what you need here!
To properly maintain an outdoor dining set, fabric upholstery must remain clean and any spots or stains treated immediately upon appearance. Regularly using mild detergent and warm water will suffice in eliminating small spills, while hot water with gentle cleaner can treat larger spots or scuffs. You should also protect it against bugs, birds and other creatures who may enter your garden or backyard searching for food or shelter – keeping spaces free of standing water and garbage as well as closing and securing cushions when not in use can deter these pesky invaders from bothering furniture!
If space is tight on your back deck or rooftop patio, consider investing in a bistro-style outdoor dining set. Perfect for small balconies and cozy backyards alike, these compact sets provide the ideal spot to share breakfast, lunch and wine with friends – with many even featuring foldable chairs for easy stowage when not in use!

Ottomans
Ottomans provide flexible seating and storage to any room. Also known as pouffes, these low upholstered footstool seats come in various shapes and sizes. Most ottomans feature a flat top that serves as either a table or footrest; others provide built-in storage space to keep blankets close by but easily accessible.
Some ottomans feature button-tufted surfaces or nailhead trim that creates a more formal aesthetic for family room settings, while others boast simple lines and single-color upholstery for modern designs that emphasize simplicity over traditionalism.
Patterned or floral ottomans make an eye-catching statement in casual rooms with vibrant colors and bold prints, adding energy and vibrancy. Some ottomans even come equipped with removable covers that can be removed and washed regularly; other models feature care tags which have symbols indicating which cleaning method would be most suitable, such as W for washing with mild water-based cleaner or X for dry cleaner only cleaning methods.
Colorful ottomans can become the focal point of a living room arrangement or add an eye-catching pop of contrast to a dining area setup. A blue velvet ottoman brings tranquility and freshness for modern living room designs; or a vibrant orange footstool provides comfort while being an eye-catcher in more eclectic environments.
Chaise Lounges
A chaise lounge is an upholstered chair designed to allow for multiple sitting positions, making it the perfect seating solution for relaxing, reading or taking a nap.
These chairs typically feature all-weather, durable sling fabrics that resist mold and mildew for years of enjoyment outdoors. Mix and match frame colors and fabrics to find something suitable to your outdoor decor theme.
Your chaise lounges can extend their lifespan by being regularly cleaned with a mixture of mild liquid soap and water, including suntan and sun block products that could discolor fabric. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove dirt before rinsing with 3 parts water to 1 part soap solution before leaving to air dry before returning them back into use.
For a casual feel, choose chaise lounges upholstered with neutral gray, cream and brown tones. Add texture with accent pillows or throws adorned with patterns on their back for additional comfort and style. Make a statement by using bold upholstery colors like teal or warm mustard hues as accent pieces on this seating. Or create your own chaise chair using our custom upholstery program and choose frame and fabric to perfectly suit your space; our program even allows for selecting an ottoman/side table as complementary pieces!
