- Space and lifestyle: The first step is to assess your outdoor area and how you plan to use it. For example, do you envision large gatherings or intimate family time?
- Spending limit: While high-end outdoor furniture can be tempting, setting a realistic budget is important. Consider the seasonal nature of outdoor use and allocate your funds accordingly. You can still create a stylish and functional space without breaking the bank.
- Do research: Take the time to read online reviews of the furniture you are considering buying. Seek insights into the quality, durability and comfort of different furniture sets.
- Weather factor: Opt for weather-resistant materials. For durability and longevity, artificial or composite wood often outperforms natural wood. If you prefer wood, choose teak or acacia as they are known for their resistance to rot and decay.
- Prioritise comfort: Select furniture that you’ll actually enjoy using. Plush cushions, ergonomic designs and ample seating options will make your outdoor space a haven for relaxation and entertainment.
