Outdoor Sectionals

Choosing the Perfect Outdoor Sectional Sofa Set

Outdoor sectionals bring functional style to any outdoor living space. Also called a sectional sofa, these multi-piece patio furniture sets combine the comfort of your indoor couch with durable materials built for outdoor conditions. Sectional sofas are available pre-configured for convenience or with a modular design that lets you build your own seating arrangement with individual components. Whether you're looking to create a cozy corner in your garden with a sectional and a few patio chairs or a full entertainment area on your large deck, World Market offers a diverse range of outdoor sectionals for every setting.

Important Tips for Choosing an Outdoor Sectional

• Design and Aesthetics: Sectional sofas are available in an array of unique styles. Your perfect sectional will complement your existing outdoor decor, from modern minimalist or mid-century to contemporary and rustic.
• Durable Materials: Sectional configurations that include sofas and loveseats should be crafted of durable materials to withstand the elements. Sectional frames made with all-weather resin wicker, lightweight aluminum and teak or acacia wood will withstand various weather conditions.
• Space and Layout: As with any big patio furniture purchase, you'll want to measure your outdoor space to ensure a sectional can fit in without cramping your style. Modular sectionals are perfect for adding extra seating to small outside spaces.
• Shape: Consider the shape of the sectional sofa and how it will influence the flow of foot traffic in your outdoor space. L-shaped sectionals that combine a loveseat and chaise lounge will help define a seating area. Larger U-shaped configurations invite socializing on bigger patios.

Comfort and Care

• Cushions and Fabrics: The best cushions combine comfort and durability. Choose fade-resistant fabrics like spun polyester to ensure your pillows last.
• Additional Features: Some sectionals include added features like built-in outdoor coffee and accent tables. Customizable modular sectionals feature individual chairs that are easy to arrange in multiple configurations.
• Maintenance and Care: Selecting easy-to-maintain materials and washable cushion slipcovers will simplify your maintenance requirements, as will furniture covers and our outdoor wood furniture finish.
