Last summer, as my outdoor space was getting a bit dated, I completely overhauled its decoration and layout. My conclusion ? With a few pieces of furniture and decorative items chosen with care, creating a designer garden is quite possible.
If so far I have minimized the importance of garden furniture, I quickly changed my tune during this makeover. It goes without saying that it is quite simply this furniture that dictates the style, the general atmosphere, but above all the personality of our outdoor spaces. And whereas before, I was satisfied with old seats and armchairs recovered from my parents, for this time, I decided to invest in design and contemporary furniture.
To get an idea of the major current trends in outdoor furniture, I invite you to visit the sites of reference brands, to name only Spool, Cloud, Tribu or Unopiu. With these major brands, armchairs, sofas and others are transformed into real modern and trendy decorative items. And that's not to mention their comfort and ergonomics. As for me, I really fell in love with the Air line from Manutti. Composed of five modular pieces, the set is made from Iroko, a highly prized exotic wood.
The investment was substantial, but the result was well worth it. Just by replacing my outdoor furniture, I have already managed to completely transform my garden. To help us in our redevelopment projects, we will find ideas and files on Binette &Jardin. I often draw my inspiration from the articles published on this site. And I don't intend to stop there. Indeed, as soon as my finances allow me, I will tackle the replacement of the flooring on my terrace.
So, while I was looking for my outdoor living room, I also took the opportunity to learn about the most popular models and styles currently. And concerning the material, apart from exotic species including teak in particular, the materials preferred by designers focus on steel and aluminum due to their great lightness, but also their elegance and avant-garde.
Moreover, for a more chic and classy look, aluminum and stainless steel are wonderfully associated with other materials, including wood, fabrics, rubber, polyester cord threads or woven resin. . I particularly appreciate the modular and multifunctional aspect of today's garden furniture. Indeed, the elements are no longer fixed, but can also be transformed into corner seats, a deckchair or a daybed.
Better, I noticed that with certain brands, the backrests and armrests can be easily removed, or even interchanged. I also noticed the presence of cubic modules. This piece of furniture was rare with the classic models. Finally, cushions also play an important role in the aesthetics of garden furniture. Round, square, patterned or plain, these seats are preferably made of washable fabric. I opted for removable covers for their ease of maintenance.
