How To Choose The Right Outdoor Furniture

Among various types of furniture, how to choose the right outdoor furniture for you—should price be the priority, is style the sole determinant, or is storage the key? If you ask an AI(artificial intelligence), it can only provide mechanical responses at best. With 20 years of experience in the outdoor furniture industry, let’s break it down step by step.

The premise is that, we discuss the style where your outdoor furniture is used in a home courtyard or on a balcony, narrowing the scope to enable more targeted selection of suitable furniture.

First, let's clarify the style of our home decoration and the style of the courtyard. Since outdoor spaces are essentially an extension of our indoor living areas, they are interrelated to some extent. For instance, if our entire home is designed in a Scandinavian style, outdoor furniture would likely be more harmonious if chosen in a corresponding Scandinavian style.

In fact, suitable outdoor furniture can reflect your personal style. When choosing, it is best to put style and style first, because the price difference is not much, but it is almost like the icon of your home, and they are comfortable Home Furniture:

• Modern/Minimalist : Emphasis on practical functionality, simple lines, usually using black, white, gray or low saturation colors, pursuing minimalism and comfort.

• Scandinavian : Originating from Nordic countries, known for its simplicity and practicality, it extensively uses natural elements such as raw wood and leather, pays attention to lighting, and creates a natural and warm atmosphere.

• New Chinese :Combining traditional Chinese elements such as screens and flower patterns with modern materials such as metal and glass not only embodies traditional cultural heritage but also maintains a sense of fashion.

• Luxury/Modern Light : Based on modern simplicity, using textured materials such as metal, marble, velvet, etc., to create a low-key yet luxurious visual effect.

• Industrial : Exposed structures (such as pipes, cement walls), metal furniture, rough, bold, avant-garde, and full of personality.

• Wabi-Sabi ：Emphasizing 'imperfect beauty', emphasizing rough and rustic natural texture, often using earthy colors, pursuing a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

• Japanese/Japandi ：Emphasizing nature, natural wood tones, and symmetrical structure, creating a peaceful and Zen atmosphere, often combined with Nordic culture to create a Japandi style.

• American ：Warm and comfortable, emphasizing the sense of lines and comfortable furniture, often using soft tones, wood, and stone.

• European :Divided into classical and simplified European styles, emphasizing classical shapes and beautiful lines, commonly seen fireplaces and Roman columns, classical elegance.

After deciding on our preferred style, we can choose the corresponding material and the material we like. For example, Nordic and modern styles are more suitable for furniture with metal frames, paired with soft cushions.

We need to examine the size of our outdoor space and the area that can accommodate furniture, in order to consider what combination we actually need: a set of detachable simple sofas or a luxurious large sofa, plus a set of extendable dining table and chair sets. Your table is circular or rectangular. How many people do you need? There are 4 people, 6, 8, to 12 people for an outdoor dining set.

If you don't have enough space, it's best to choose some stackable and foldable furniture so that you can store it when not in use and leave more space for activities. A durable stackable outdoor chair can save a lot of space.

Additionally, there are some special suggestions. Is your location particularly humid, with high salinity and intense sunlight and ultraviolet radiation? At this time, there are certain requirements for the material and processing methods of outdoor furniture. For example, it is recommended to use stainless steel and aluminum on the main shelf. The surface coating should be resistant to salt and high temperatures, we suggest can use TIGER Drylac^®, of one of the best coating. and materials such as teak, which are the most weather resistant, should be used. Sponges should be made of quickdry foam, and fabrics should be made of the highest grade outdoor fabrics， like Sunbrella®. If it is an area with abundant rainfall, a storage box is also needed to store the soft cushions regularly, otherwise the cushions will be difficult to dry.
