The first thing you need to do with the first signs of summer is refreshing your outdoor furniture. Picture the look of your patio and prepare your furniture for the long, hot summer nights you will enjoy with friends and family.
If you already have a good patio set, then all you need to do is refresh its colour and cushions, make some other improvements if needed and put it in use. However, if you do not have one, start looking at the offers of new outdoor chairs Australia stores that are on promotion to make your outdoor space your favourite place you’d want to be this summer.
Types of patio sets
When browsing the offers of new outdoor chairs Australia stores have, do not focus on the chair only; search for a complete patio set instead (the one that consists of a set of chairs and a large table). After all this is your most important purchase since you need something as the focal point of your outdoor area. Based on the material, there is a wide variety of patio sets to choose from.
- Wrought iron outdoor furniture set can be very good-looking, but it comes with several disadvantages; it is heavy and you cannot move it a lot. Moreover, on rainy days you will need to cover it with something to prevent the iron from rusting. But no worries, even if this happens, you can always use touch-up paint to cover eventual scratches and problem spots. Furthermore, you can also find an entire patio set made of aluminum, and since these two materials look practically the same, all you need to do is decide which one you can afford and which one will best fit your outdoor area. However, although they may look the same, they do not have the same features at all, aluminum is a lot lighter than iron. But from an aesthetics point of view, they are both metal furniture types.
- Wood is a very good looking, but hard to maintain patio furniture. It can get damaged by various factors like rain for example, which can cause it to crack, split, rot or get infested by bugs. If you however, do decide to get a wooden patio set, make sure it is eucalyptus or teak as these are naturally resistant to water and are more durable.
Additional elements
You cannot leave your chairs just like that; when you go through the offers of new outdoor chairs Australia stores promotions, look for chair cushions as well. They will provide comfort and style. For added style, do not forget to get a large umbrella. It is great not just for decoration and adding a touch of colour to the overall atmosphere, but for sun protection as well. You can place it either on the dining table or wherever you may need it on the patio.
Make the sitting area even more comfortable, cozy and colourful with few rugs. You can place them under the seating area to provide softness to the legs. Also, to make the daunting task of cleaning and maintenance easier, look for water and stain resistant rugs.
