Which design garden furniture to choose?

Very impatient to enjoy my new terrace recently built, I will not wait for the arrival of the beautiful days to furnish this space and equip it properly. I have already placed an order for my garden furniture.

The garden is a living space in its own right

For the past few years, as soon as the sun comes up, I leave the other rooms in the house and settle in my garden. When I am not at my office, I spend a lot of my time there with my little family. We take our meals there, we take our naps there, we work there, we play there... In short, real moments of relaxation and pleasure in a private, green space, both friendly and peaceful, sheltered from pollution. urban sound.

As I have a lot of space in my garden, I also love to receive friends and acquaintances there. At the slightest opportunity, we meet regularly for a Sunday lunch or a convivial barbecue. This is why a terrace was necessary. So I applied for a work credit to be able to finish everything before the arrival of summer. Now all I have to do is furnish the terrace to make it a comfortable and trendy place.

The outdoor living room is becoming more and more designer

From now on, just like the living room, the living room or the kitchen, the decoration of this new living space must be done with taste. Among manufacturers and distributors, we are now seeing the emergence of new styles of designer and stylish garden furniture, to meet the needs of a very demanding clientele. Also acting as decorative accessories, outdoor furniture is not only aesthetic and ergonomic, but must also be practical and functional.

The latest trends in garden furniture reveal that furniture made of lightweight materials is the most purchased today. Indeed, sofas, armchairs, tables and chairs must be movable at will and be used both outdoors and indoors, if necessary. However, I also find the combinations of two materials, such as aluminum and composite slats, or even teak wood and stainless steel, magnificent. Otherwise, for the colors, the fashion is mocha and anthracite gray.

Woven resin or nothing!

The ideal would of course be to choose furniture according to the general style of your home. Me, I simply fell for woven resin, especially when this material is combined with wood. Having the appearance of a rattan, this material is very easy to maintain. I was especially seduced by its very affordable cost and its diversity of colors offered.

Nevertheless, some criteria should be considered when purchasing your woven resin living room. Remember to ask the seller if the material has been UV treated. Otherwise, after a few months exposed to the sun, your garden furniture may fade. Moreover, if you have the choice between furniture pre-assembled or delivered as a kit, choose the former, for their robustness.
