No matter if it be for alfresco dining, outdoor grilling, or simply lounging in the sun – round outdoor furniture will help create the ideal patio space. Knowing your preferred uses for this space will enable you to select furnishings and decor which match with them perfectly.
Start by considering what purpose your round deck or lanai serves; do you desire a space dedicated to grilling, stargazing or both?
Modular Seating
Modular seating solutions provide a flexible option when outfitting either a larger patio or smaller balcony, giving you the ability to arrange different layouts within one space. They’re especially great if you plan on entertaining large crowds often or hosting backyard game night.
Modular seating comes in both single seat and sectional configurations and can be customized to any outdoor space. There are models that separate into two sofas or even chaise lounges, ideal for tanning enthusiasts. Many modular chairs and sofas include cocktail ottomans that double as coffee tables, footrests, and seats – an extra convenience in outdoor areas with limited space!
Modular furnishings offer an alternative to bulky traditional pieces, which tend to take up too much floor space on patios and balconies. Instead, modular pieces fit like puzzle pieces together for increased usable square footage on both. Plus, their weatherproof construction makes cleaning easier.
While modular seating’s flexibility can be invaluable in many circumstances, its advantages become especially helpful during pandemics. Compared with traditional public furniture which takes considerable time and effort to dismantle and clean after use, modular pieces are much quicker and simpler to reconfigure as needs shift.
If you love the look of circular furniture and would like to incorporate it into your outdoor living space, a modular seating set that converts into a dining table might be just what’s needed. These arrangements typically feature round, square or rectangular tables which can be stored under sofas or dismantled into two benches when guests arrive; some models even feature chairs which separate into comfy ottomans when guests arrive! There’s even three-piece picnic tables which transform into sturdy benches – meaning there are options suitable for any size or style of outdoor space!
Nesting Tables
No matter what purpose your circular patio serves, such as al fresco dining, hosting backyard barbecues, or simply relaxing and reading, comfortable, stylish furniture pieces will help maximize its potential. Some essentials for making the most of it include a round coffee table and lounge chairs made of weather-resistant material to take full advantage of your space year-round while decorative accents and decor add seasonal flare.
When selecting a coffee table for your circular patio, choose one with ample seating space for guests. Look for one with a round top that comfortably seats at least four people and an aluminum or resin wicker base, making maintenance simple with stain or finish that doesn’t need frequent touch ups with water or cleaning spray.
Nesting tables make an excellent addition to a circular patio. These compact accent tables can easily expand in size to create a layered aesthetic and come in many different shapes, sizes and materials to fit any style and decor – from stylish glass and metal designs to natural wood or acrylic material options – even vintage trunk-style versions that mimic traditional nesting tables can make great statements about style!
Your circular patio should be organized and designed to facilitate easy traffic flow throughout. Avoid blocking access to doors or creating obstacles with furniture or decor that could pose as hazards for guests who walk around, instead considering its primary function and designing a layout to support it.
To help guests navigate a circular patio more easily, divide its space into different zones for different functions. Depending on the size of your patio, this could include setting up lounging spaces on one side and dining or fire pit areas on the other. Once these are set up, decorate these zones with accents such as plants or decorative touches for an aesthetically pleasing outdoor living space. Adding a dining table as a focal point could also provide for easier entertaining experiences – perfect for dinner parties and other social gatherings!
Cantilever Umbrellas
Cantilever umbrellas are an essential addition to any patio furniture set, providing shade in virtually every part of your backyard. Their off-set post allows it to rotate 360 degrees, providing shade over almost every part of your yard. Cantilevers are also ideal for open decks and pool areas as they don’t block pathways or get in the way of chairs and loungers.
There is an assortment of cantilever umbrella styles to choose from. Some feature hexagonal, octagonal or rectangular canopies for an elegant appearance; others boast more contemporary designs with flat aluminum frames for sleek appearances. You may also be able to find these umbrellas in various vibrant hues to complete the decor in your backyard.
Cantilever umbrellas are popular outdoor accessories because of their ease of operation and large shade coverage area, especially as the sun moves across the sky throughout the day. Top models such as Shadowspec(tm) Serenity and Unity utilize marine grade materials in their frames and canopies for long-term durability.
Dependent upon the style of cantilever umbrella you purchase, its tilt and rotation mechanisms may differ significantly. Most feature crank handles for easy deployment/retraction while hand or foot pedals can adjust its angle; some models even allow pivoting up to 180 degrees for greater shade control during various parts of the day.
Some cantilever umbrellas are freestanding, allowing you to position them on any flat surface. Usually equipped with a sturdy base featuring drain holes for easier maintenance, they can also be mounted permanently into concrete for permanent installation in outdoor spaces. Furthermore, bolt-down models provide added convenience in limited landscaping scenarios or commercial settings with limited options for planting grass or planting trees.
Cantilever umbrellas can be found online and at many physical retail locations. One such store, located in New Zealand’s Shade 7(tm), sells cantilever and centre pole umbrellas that feature sturdy anodised aluminium frames and Marine Grade fabrics to protect from harsh sunlight and rain.
Dining Sets
No matter whether you live by a picturesque lake, lush gardens, or have planters of blooming flowers, having a well-furnished circular patio will help you take in your surroundings and fully appreciate them. Use outdoor rockers or gliders to create an inviting deck-top ambiance for reading and lounging; place lounge chairs under an umbrella for shaded napping spots; depending on how the space will be used, divide it up into zones for dining and lounging so everyone can indulge their preferred activities without bumping into each other – all while having plenty of space!
If you want to add dining area to your patio, select a table with a slatted table top for a rustic appearance. Its perforated surface also allows air circulation underneath it, keeping it cooler and preventing it from getting too hot to sit at. Alternatively, wood-grain patio dining tables may better suit your formal tastes as they feature standard center holes to hold market umbrellas while coming in various sizes to meet any space constraints.
When choosing the ideal patio dining set for your space, take into account how much seating is necessary and your preferences for stools, benches or chairs. For families of four, a traditional 6-piece patio dining set may be most suitable, while for entertaining guests a bar-style set with matching pub chair can provide enough seats for dinner parties.
To properly fit patio furniture into a circular space, measure its radius with a tape measure and use this information to plan a layout of pieces that meet that radius. Remember to leave 12 to 14 inches between pieces for more spacious and functional layout. For instance, seating six people around a dining table requires 6 feet on both sides for seating and walkways.
Shopping for a patio dining set can be an excellent way to update the appearance of your entire outdoor space. When buying matching outdoor furniture sets, look for sets with similar color schemes so your patio’s overall color scheme remains consistent from room to room.
