Outdoor lounge chairs

Outdoor lounge chair design tips

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

For example, rattan deck furniture will give you a classic garden lounge hangout look - a modern twist on a jungle style. Wood furniture is sturdy and gives a strong feeling of quality. It’s perfect when you want to recreate a beach or hotel deck design. But it will look great in almost any outdoor space décor. 

Regardless which material you’ll choose, dare to be different. Try to have at least one colourful item to make your design pop. If you go for modest style furniture, try adding some colour with a colourful blanket or some stylish outdoor cushions. Just one spark of colour can bring so much personality to your home. 

Protecting your outdoor lounge chair

Wood and rattan are great choices if you have a roof over your patio. Or, if you’re fine with carrying your furniture inside when not using them. This because rattan, and some wood furniture, can easily soak up moisture and sustain damage from harsh weather. You should also remember to re-stain wooden deck furniture once or twice a year to keep it looking great.

If you don’t have a roof on your patio then plastic rattan material is great for you, since the plastic faux rattan is not as sensitive to moisture. All the outdoor lounge chairs, however, should either be stored inside or be protected by a waterproof cover if you need to store them outside. This will make the deck furniture last longer.
