Exploring Outdoor Dining Furniture: How to Design the Perfect Backyard Setup
Outdoor dining furniture transforms your backyard or patio into a welcoming oasis for entertaining. World Market offers dining sets in a wide array of materials and styles for outdoor settings of all sizes. Whether it's a balcony bistro set for two or an expansive patio dining table for eight, the perfect piece will elevate your outdoor dining experience.
Materials and Durability
- Material Selection: Durability and weather resistance are essential for outdoor furniture. The rain, wind and sun of your seasonal climate should guide your choices.
- Popular Materials: Teak, all-weather wicker and lightweight aluminum are trusted for their durability. Hardwoods like teak, acacia and eucalyptus age gracefully, resin wicker delivers a classic look and metals like aluminum or steel are sleek and strong. Polyester is a durable fabric for outdoor seat cushions.
- Maintenance Needs: Different materials require varying levels of upkeep. Wooden furniture will need to be oiled occasionally, but cement tables and plastic chairs can be wiped down quickly. Consider how much time you can commit to maintenance.
Design and Aesthetics
- Style Compatibility: You'll want the style of your side chairs, dining benches and barstools to complement your backyard aesthetic. Consider how dining furniture in modern, traditional, or contemporary designs will blend or contrast with your outdoor decor.
- Functionality: Beyond aesthetics, consider how the design supports dining and socializing. Comfortable seating and spacious dinner tables look grand in proper outdoor lighting, but functional folding tables are better for balconies.
- Space Considerations: The size and shape of new furniture should include room for foot traffic. Measure your space to ensure ease of movement, leaving three feet of clearance for comfort.
FAQs
- How do I protect my outdoor dining furniture?
- Choosing weather-resistant materials, performing regular maintenance and using furniture covers will extend the life of your patio furniture.
- Can outdoor dining furniture be left outside year-round?
- This depends on the furniture materials and your climate. Wooden furnishings and cushions may require storage during harsh weather to prevent damage.
- How do I know if an outdoor dining collection is the right size for my space?
- Measure your outdoor area for firm numbers to match to furniture dimensions. Just be sure to leave clearance for guests and side chairs.
