Garden lounge chairs

Bring more calm into your day by getting closer to nature. Expand your indoor living area and enjoy endless hours of comfortable relaxation outside with a table and a few chairs. You’ll find a wide selection of deck furniture at IKEA – with many different styles, materials and colours to choose from. 

How to choose the right deck chairs and deck tables

When looking for deck chairs and tables, we recommend picking the chairs first. Once you’ve found the right chairs for you, choosing a table to go with them becomes a lot easier. 

Deck chairs for an outdoor lounge

Before choosing any deck chairs, you need to think about the look and feel you want to create on your deck. Will it be used as an outdoor lounge area? If the answer’s yes, we recommend a cosy armchair style, and maybe even a matching coffee table.  

Deck chairs for outdoor dining

Want to use your deck for summer barbeques, dinner parties and family gatherings? Go for a sturdier deck table and chairs that are more suitable for hosting longer dinners. Deck chairs in a similar style to kitchen chairs are the most comfortable choice for sitting at a kitchen-style deck table. 

Deck furniture design tips

The next step when choosing your deck furniture is to pick your material. First, you want to consider the style of your outdoor area, and then, what level of protection any furniture will need. 

Rattan deck furniture is an ideal choice for creating a laidback garden lounge look with a jungle-inspired twist. Wood is another great option that gives you a strong and sturdy feeling of quality – and it’s perfect for recreating a classic seaside look. What’s more, it works in almost any outdoor space. 

Whatever your style and whatever material you choose, at IKEA you can dare to be different. Make your outdoor area pop with at least one colourful item. Of if you prefer a more modest look, you can add colour with a bold blanket or some patterned outdoor cushions. Just one spark of colour can bring so much personality to your home. 

Protecting your deck furniture

If you’ve got a covering over your patio or you’re happy to move outdoor furniture in when you’re not using it, styles made from wood or rattan work best. Rattan and some wood furniture can withstand damage from harsh weather and soak up any excess moisture. All you need to do to keep wooden deck furniture looking great is re-stain it once or twice a year. 

Not got any sort of covering on your patio? Then plastic rattan is a great alternative, as it’s not as sensitive to moisture. Deck furniture, however, should either be stored inside or be protected by a waterproof cover if you can only store them outside. This will help make the deck furniture last longer.
