The Latest Outdoor Patio Furniture Trends

Now that you have a brand new patio next to your pool, how will you decorate it? A large component of décor is the furniture you choose. This will take some research and planning, as there are several styles and fabrics out there to choose from. There are also many price ranges that go with them, from cheap to expensive. Your outdoor patio furniture should last throughout many seasons; spend more now and you will be rewarded later.

Patio Furniture Style and Use

The first thing you should think of is what the patio will be used for, as well as the frequency of use. Got a large family with small children? Choose durable, rugged furniture. Don’t have to worry about little ones running around? You can get a little more decorative and pricey to entertain your adult guests. Next up: figure out if you want your patio to be an extension of the indoors, bringing the style of your living room and kitchen outside to continue the theme. Or, perhaps you are happy to incorporate a new, unique space.

Patio Furniture Base Materials

The base material is important because it’s like the backbone of your outdoor patio furniture. Wicker, bamboo, resin, wood…the possibilities are endless. It’s your job to research each material and match it with your needs and budget. Go to the store and check each kind out in person to make a more informed decision. Think about how weather will affect your selection.

Here are some tips:

• Stone or wrought iron: These are great choices if you plan to leave your patio furniture out year round. Couple them with cushions made of acrylic fabrics that can withstand all sorts of weather conditions and harsh UV ray exposure.
• Redwood or cedar: These are both naturally resistant to warping, decay and insects, which makes them the best option if you love the look of wood.
• Recycled plastic: This material is resistant to warping, insects and decay, plus rust.
• Teak furniture: The best material if you have a pool or leave your furniture out in the rain. It’s highly water resistant.
• Powder-coated metal: This won’t fade or scratch over the years, giving you added durability as well as water resistance.
• Resin wicker: This material is crafted from PVC, nylon, polyethylene, or high-density polyethylene, and won’t crack or fade in the hot sun.

Patio Furniture Fabrics

This summer, oversized florals, swirls and bold patterns are in. Bright colors will be at the top of the fashion list, but if you want to get a bit more muted, try a sea green with cream combination. Go ahead, mix it up a little. Put stripes on your sofa cushions but florals on your throw pillows. Bring the theme to other aspects of your décor, such as towels, awnings, tablecloths and place mats.
