Durable patio furniture will withstand years of use with proper care. Discover metal and wooden options for classic looks or all-weather wicker for more versatile designs.
Tables
Space saving tables (also known as transforming or convertible coffee tables) offer stylish solutions to those seeking more flexibility with their patio furniture set. Ideal for dinner parties and plant displays alike, space-saving tables provide you with all of the space you need without taking up too much floor space.
Many people opt for wall-mounted dining tables, which can be great for spaces without much room for an entire table, yet can be difficult to store when entertaining guests regularly. Unfortunately, wall-mounted tables tend to be small and unstable enough that they may tip over. Luckily, fold-up table options give the versatility of regular tables while being easier to store away when needed.
When looking for space-saving tables, round shapes may be preferable over rectangular. Round tables tend to fit more efficiently into tighter spaces than their rectangular counterparts and don’t present any safety risks due to sharp corners that could pose hazards for children. Furthermore, round tables tend to be easier and faster to clean up than their rectangular counterparts.
Consider investing in a rattan table featuring a tempered glass top as another viable choice, as they’re highly durable, strong, and will protect from weathering and damage while being simple to clean quickly after spills occur.
Space-saving rattan tables come in various decorative styles. Some are tailored for modern minimalist decor while others boast more classic or vintage aesthetics; even some boast mid-century charm! Whatever your preference and size needs may be, you’re bound to find one perfect for you and your patio space.
Chairs
A well-appointed patio should feature comfortable seating to invite lounging and relaxation. Choose a sofa set or individual chairs that suit both the space and your lifestyle; if dining is primary on your patio, consider tables at balcony height or bar height to reduce footprint and save floor space; stackable chairs are convenient when extra seating for guests is required, armless chairs eliminate visual obstructions while freeing up room around tables; sofas featuring low backs and slim arms also create a visually lighter feeling without blocking views.
Patios provide the ideal place for entertaining, socializing and unwinding – it’s essential that they’re planned with care before beginning shopping for pieces. Selecting a focal point such as a fountain or garden will help guide your style choices and create an organized layout of furniture and accessories on the patio. Symmetrical arrangements tend to look formal while an asymmetrical layout has more casual tones.
Before storing patio furniture for the winter, it’s essential to clean and protect it properly. Wipe down surfaces, rinse cushions to eliminate mold or mildew accumulations and remove pests such as insects. Inspect for areas of rust to treat with rust neutralizing primer; and bring any metal pieces inside so as to not experience damage due to cold temperatures.
For your own investment’s protection, it is wise to utilize tarps and other materials as padding on storage floors. This will prevent furniture and cushions from scratching up concrete or wood surfaces as well as prevent water collecting in small crevices that can lead to mildew and mold growth. In addition, patio cushions should be kept inside fabric bags designed specifically for outdoor storage – this will keep moisture, mildew and pests at bay as well as make retrieval much simpler!
Benches
Benches offer an easy solution for adding additional seating without taking up too much room. Benches come in all sorts of sizes and shapes to fit into various spaces – they may even offer more storage than side tables! As they tend to be narrower than sofas and offer additional storage capacity than side tables, making them the perfect solution for smaller households that still want the charm of hosting, yet don’t have the space for large furniture items.
Park benches have become an essential feature of public places as a comfortable spot to rest and recharge, providing a welcome respite. Their functionality also extends into private homes and businesses for added value and relaxation – whether as a place for people to stop and appreciate their surroundings, or just a convenient seat while waiting for friends.
Material choice will ultimately dictate its long-term durability, and steel benches are a popular option because of their customizable and industry-leading finish that offers corrosion resistance. Steel bench frames are treated to this industry-leading finish using the e-steele process, applying an epoxy undercoat and polyester topcoat that provide a two-step application capable of withstanding scratching, impact damage, chemicals humidity levels and high levels of salt corrosion corrosion.
Wooden benches are another timeless classic that can be customized in a range of finishes to meet the needs of any space. Some models feature UV protected slats to reduce weathering and sun exposure; others boast natural wood looks with solid-core construction for more comfortable sitting over longer durations.
Fold-away benches may be useful in kitchen banquette areas with limited space, helping keep the area tidy and clutter free. Other benches are more permanent fixtures found in churches or public buildings.
Other bench options available to businesses are fiberglass and recycled plastic benches, which come in an assortment of colors and styles. These low-maintenance benches are suitable for most environments including typically salty oceanside facilities. Being lightweight makes these an excellent option for restaurants, office buildings, and other commercial facilities.
Conversation Sets
Outdoor conversation sets are perfect for intimate gatherings or solo conversations. Their cozy design offers a relaxing lounge-like experience with plush cushions for added comfort, while they come in various sizes from four to seven pieces for optimal versatility in small outdoor spaces.
Patio conversation sets with chairs and ottomans nestled beneath a table offer an effective space-saving seating solution, looking perfectly normal when in use, yet being easy to store away afterwards. Ideal for balconies, small patios and garden corners alike!
Some sets feature fully nesting designs while others only nestle chairs underneath tables – the latter can be more visually jarring but still an efficient option for smaller outdoor areas. Some sets even include table-top storage trays to add an additional level of functionality.
Patio dining sets can be used for more than just dinner; their center dining table often becomes the focal point of outdoor gatherings. As a result, most homeowners keep an additional patio conversation set close by in case guests arrive unexpectedly and require seating arrangements to add onto.
Omelaza’s adjustable reclining lounge chairs and tempered glass table offer versatility and modern elegance, while Kozyard Cozy’s classic rocking love seats provide an enjoyable retreat for any backyard setting. Each piece is expertly hand-crafted from all-weather rattan with strong steel frames to withstand years of weathering and frequent use, offering an array of colors and finishes for your patio conversation sets that complete any home’s decor.
