CHOOSing YOUR GARDEN FURNITURE AND MAKING IT LAST

When it comes to decorating your patio you simply can’t do it without a few patio chairs. Where else would you sit and soak up the sun? Chairs are an essential part of anyone’s patio décor.

Before you decide what kind of chair you want you have to figure out what kind of chair you need. Are you going to be sitting on it to relax or to eat? Do you want it to move? Do you want to stretch your legs out and put your feet up? Do you want to share it? Once you answer these questions you can begin looking at the different styles of dining chairs, lounge chairs, swings, rockers or gliders, chairs with ottomans, chaises, steamers, benches and settees.

Most patio chairs are elegantly simple. Smooth clean lines or romantic curves either way your patio chairs can be dressed up with Sunbrella cushions. Available in a large variety of colors and patterns you’ll easily be able to match your motif and show off your personal style. From tomato red to lime green it’s hard not to indulge in a little relaxation on a patio chair with a plush cushion. So sit back, relax, maybe even put your feet up and soak up some sun. Take a sip from your cold lemonade and flip through a magazine as you relax on your new patio chair. You’ll be chilling out this summer in easy elegance every time you open your doors and step in to the paradise that your patio has become with the addition of a few patio chairs and cool summer style.

As to wicker and metal outdoor furniture, wicker may need a bit of seasonal care, and metal furniture, it may looks equally stunning. Low-maintenance makes a high keynote when it comes to patio furniture. It is really up to you as to the look you would like to embrace for your patio; green blue stripes on the cushions look great too and come in synthetic material to weather it off.

A few points you may like to ponder upon while selecting patio furniture,

• • The furniture should blend with overalls of your lobby or patio and not just stand there grabbing attention
• Natural looking furniture outdoors is used more prominently for its casual appeal
• • Too much of gloss/shine should be avoided, as the furniture will soon look worn off
• A customary seasonal maintenance routine will help you maintain the furniture for years
• Good quality furniture tends to make a wise investment for weathering elements outside are much higher than inside a home
• Children’s patio furniture should have large tables for play and the edges should be round to avoid injuries while playing.
