Sectionals are an ideal way to maximize outdoor living space. Available both as L- and U-shaped sofas, they’re versatile pieces designed for different spaces and locations.
If you’re having difficulty choosing which size couch to purchase, painter’s tape may help you figure out exactly how much room is necessary for it. See how it looks with different arrangements of furniture on your patio or porch before making your purchase decision. It will give an accurate representation of how much room there will be for a new sofa in your space.
Comfort
Outdoor sectionals from West Elm provide more spacious seating than sofas and chairs; one single sectional can seat more people than any patio sofa and loveseat combination, often featuring modular design for multiple configurations. Compare sizes to find one that best matches your deck, porch, or patio; use painter’s tape to get a visual representation of how it will appear when set up!
Patio sectionals are specially-constructed to withstand the elements, and come in an array of materials that provide comfort while elevating visual appeal for your home’s exterior. Natural-looking rattan and wicker furniture blend beautifully with various color palettes while metal pieces add sleek modern charm. Many seating options feature durable cushions upholstered with fade-resistant Sunbrella fabric which comes in bold hues to complement or subdue your color scheme.
Choose between two, three and four-piece sectional sets to find something suitable for your space. An L-shaped sectional is ideal for large patios. However, for smaller areas a two-piece sectional with armless seats and chaise lounge may be more suitable.
Some sectional sofas come complete with matching outdoor coffee tables for seamless seating arrangements, while others feature modular components that let you mix-and-match sofa and chaise lounge modules to customize a seating arrangement that’s just right. Upgrade to one that includes a built-in propane fire pit table to keep family and guests warm as the temperature cools down, or add Adirondack chairs or swivel club chairs as conversation starters during backyard gatherings.
Style
Patio sectionals add comfort and style to outdoor events like backyard barbecues or sunset cocktails with friends and family. Choose seats with different fabric textures and colors that complement your design scheme, such as teak sofas for nature-inspired setups or beachy themes; while wicker sectionals feature breezy appeal. Moreover, solid-colored upholstery provides a contemporary monochrome aesthetic.
Before choosing between a patio couch and sectional, think carefully about your seating needs. A patio sofa-loveseat combo could fit better if only two people will be at any one time; on the other hand, a four-piece patio sectional with attached chaise lounges could comfortably seat an entire family.
Style can also play an integral part in choosing between patio sectionals with different seat types. Classic-style couches tend to work best, while sectionals typically provide more modern aesthetics. You could select an all-weather wicker sectional with a curved frame or choose an armless sofa for an aesthetically pleasing result.
Patio sectionals and sofas come in an assortment of sizes to make finding something to fit your space easier. A two or three piece sectional may work in tight areas while larger four and six piece sectionals feature modular designs so you can configure seating according to your needs.
Customize your patio sectional set by adding accessories such as coffee tables, end tables and storage ottomans for the ideal seating arrangement in your home. Check online retailers for sectional sets that come complete with everything needed for entertaining or relaxing comfortably on your patio – many even offer financing to help manage budget.
Space Saving
Whether entertaining at your home or business, patio sectional furniture can provide additional seating without making your outdoor area seem cramped. Instead of scattering mismatched chairs and stools around, use an L-shaped or curved wicker sectional sofa instead for guests to comfortably lounge on and talk without feeling squeezed together or bumping into each other. It leaves ample space for everyone involved!
Patio sectional sets come in many configurations to meet your individual needs, from modular sets that let you swap out right and left modules as necessary, to ottoman-based options that match perfectly to existing landscaping designs. Furthermore, different styles exist that help your new set fit in seamlessly into the design scheme of your backyard – modern sleek styles meld beautifully into existing landscaping while classic pieces may stand out more prominently than their counterparts.
An additional advantage of patio sectionals is their ability to comfortably seat more guests than traditional conversation sets, making them especially helpful if you plan on hosting parties or gathering people over for drinks and appetizers. With the right wicker sectional in place around your coffee table, creating an intimate circle can easily seat over six guests comfortably.
Your sectional set may come equipped with a built-in coffee table to make entertaining guests easier. Choose from various table styles – glass or wood tops with storage box options available – while more contemporary backyard designs might feature glass tops with black metal frames; other possibilities could include natural wooden finishes for coffee tables that match up well. When adding decorative pillows and throw blankets, the entire ensemble comes together seamlessly.
Durability
When selecting patio sectional furniture, it’s essential that the set has a robust construction. Since it will be left outdoors in all sorts of weather, such as rain and sun exposure. Look for sofas constructed of weather-resistant materials like resin wicker or all-weather fabric – their frames must also be sturdy enough to withstand frequent outdoor cleanings and regular usage.
Search for outdoor sectional furniture featuring removable cushions made of stain-resistant fabrics like Sunbrella. These can easily be cleaned using mild detergent and water and even be reupholstered as needed to refresh their appearance. Pair your selection with matching pillows and an area rug to complete the look of your backyard retreat.
At your next backyard barbeque or relaxing afternoon on your deck, seating should be plentiful to accommodate everyone comfortably. A modular rattan sectional sofa that can be configured in various ways may be perfect; one such model is Bristol Wicker Outdoor Sectional Sofa which boasts an adaptive design which allows users to arrange L-shape seating options as well as small or large U-shape arrangements easily with 10 clips securing sections together to maintain stability.
Though durability of patio furniture is crucial, its aesthetic must also meet your approval. Your sectional will become the focal point of your outdoor space; therefore it should match both your overall aesthetic and complement any existing colors in your yard or garden.
