Patio and garden furniture comes in a wide variety of pieces, and the choices are wondrously colorful and sophisticated. Seating alone covers sofas, dining chairs, loungers, chaise loungers, club chairs, love seats, Adirondack chairs and even beanbags, the last of which create quite the laidback appearance in outdoor settings. Tables and countertops, too, extend through varying shapes and sizes. All of these reflect the particular scene, taste and needs of the user, and therefore promote a sense of individuality.
The materials from which outdoor furniture is made range from recycled plastic to wood to stainless steel, yet all are reliably durable and weather-resistant. Recycled plastic wood, for example, is a viable substitute for the wood out of which Adirondack chairs are typically made, only because the former stands up far better in weather variations. Resin, unlike recycled plastic, however, is 鈥渧irgin,鈥?or pure, which is likely why it is so strong and environment-friendly. This particular material is popular for that reason, along with the fact that it remains cool against the skin, even in the scorching sun, and ensures firmness and comfort. The same, too, would apply to furniture made out of treated metal, such as dining sets that feature stainless steel frames as opposed to wicker, the latter of which fit better in shaded areas. Still, all of these materials have their place outdoors.
That鈥檚 the wonderful thing about outdoor furniture鈥攊t has many functions. That is to say, outdoor furniture plays multiple roles, from ensuring comfort for those engaged in an afternoon garden brunch to deflecting water or food-mess damage while offering a means for relaxation during pool parties and barbecues. Large families will need a stainless steel 8-piece dining set on an open deck. This not only accommodates ample seating and eating space for everyone, but is designed to withstand inclement weather while serving as an ongoing decorative accent to the scene. Even chaise lounges and sectionals enhance the d茅cor and function accordingly, from offering users a peaceful rest to providing upper-body inclination for those who wish to delve into a good book or enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding environment, whether mountain ranges or the ocean.
Even more, buyers can mix-and-match pieces to create a unique style or feel of their own. A setting consisting of Adirondack chairs and a conservatively elegant semi-circular row of sectionals centered by a teak coffee table, for instance, would not be outrageous at all. As a matter of fact, why not add that outdoor bar with a line of wicker barstools, and then throw in a set of hanging lanterns? The glow will produce a sense of coziness and sensuality to make guests feel comfortable even in the late-evening hours. The array of combined styles in play here forms a dynamic and exciting scene indeed.
With all the possibilities offered by patio and garden furniture, there is no room for disappointment. Buyers should feel right at home with furniture just for them.
