Choosing the Right Patio Furniture for Your Outdoor Oasis

May 18, 2016

Living in Boerne means outdoor living at its best. With beautiful days and nights all year-round, patio furniture can be just as important – and used just as much – as your indoor furniture.

Outdoor Furniture Functionality Factors

While everyone wants beautiful patio furniture, comfort and functionality is a must. It’s important to consider what type of outdoor living space you’re wanting to create and how much time you plan to spend outside. If you’re like many Boerne homeowners, much of your time will be spent enjoying your patio, making comfort and functionality a key factor when choosing your perfect outdoor furniture.

-Seating. How many people will you need to fit comfortably on your patio? If you have a large family or like to entertain, you will need plenty of seating. Patio sets with couches, loveseats and chairs are good choices for people who have large outdoor gatherings.

-Dining. If you prefer to dine alfresco, you will need a table large enough to accommodate you and your family, plus guests. Patio dining tables are available with large capacities, some with seating for up to 12 people.

-Cushions. If you have a covered patio, you have more options on what type of cushions you can use. However, for patio furniture that is exposed, make sure cushions are easy to keep clean and dry.

Choose Your Patio Style and Layout

Before you begin shopping, determine the amount of space you have available and the style you want to create. Measure your patio area and plan your layout. Doing this will give you a better idea of the size of table, chairs and lounging furniture that can comfortably fit on your patio.

When it comes to style, there are so many options available for outdoor living furniture. From wicker to more durable wrought iron, steel or cast aluminum frames, there are a wide variety of choices. Colors also play an important role, giving you the ability to create a stunning patio that matches your unique style.
