6 Determinant Factors While Selecting Outdoor Furniture

Ergonomic Design

When selecting patio furniture for your outdoor areas, the most important factor is to prioritize comfort. Comfort is something that you cannot ignore when you are sitting on a chair or sofa. As a result, choosing

furniture that is crafted with ergonomic design can help you create a comfortable space outdoors. No matter whether you would like to take a nap on the sofa or have a joyful talk with your close friends in the garden, comfortable seating is indispensable. If you are also the type of person who prioritizes comfort, factors such as adjustable backrests, comfortable armrests, lumbar support, footstools or materials with a soft texture are something that you need to consider first.

Excellent Functionality

Functionality is a standard that can tell whether outdoor furniture is practical or not. Since outdoor furniture is normally placed in the garden, patio, outdoor lounge areas, hotel poolside and other open areas that are without any covers, people tend to choose furniture pieces that have a strong ability to withstand harsh outdoor elements such as strong sunlight, heavy rain, wind, snow and pests. With these excellent functionalities, outdoor furniture will not easily fade, break or rot, making it ideal and durable for various outdoor spaces. What is more, furniture that does not need too much cleaning and maintenance is also popular as it is convenient and can save lots of time for people.

Neutral Tones That Can Fit Various Spaces

In today’s society, people’s beauty appreciation makes them prefer to choose outdoor furniture that is with neutral tones, such as black, white, grey, brown etc. That is because the colours with neutral tones can effortlessly fit in various spaces with different styles. Whether the area is in a traditional design, industrial design, simple design or modern design, furniture that is in neutral tones can fit with it. Nowadays, since people tend to spend more time staying outdoors to get rid of stress, they pay more attention to the decoration and ambience of the outdoor space. As a result, when they change the space layout or add some ambient decorations to the outdoor area, outdoor furniture with neutral colours will not look incompatible with the space.

Sustainable Materials

Because of people’s increasing awareness about environmental protection, the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable outdoor furniture has grown a lot. In order to contribute to a greener environment and align with

customers’ needs, many outdoor furniture suppliers have started to offer recycled alternatives to the furniture that is made of natural materials. In the following paragraph, I will introduce several types of sustainable materials that are commonly used in making outdoor furniture.

1. Plastic Wood

Synthetic wood is normally divided into two types, which are plastic lumber and wood-plastic composite (WPC). They are both artificial materials that do not bring much harm to our living planet. Plastic lumber is a synthetic material that is entirely made of virgins or recycled plastics such as HDPE, PVC, PP, ABS, PS and PLA. On the other hand, wood-plastic composite is not 100% made of plastics; it has some real wood pieces inside. These two materials are not only

recyclable but also strong and durable in outdoor settings.

2. Plastic Rattan

When talking about plastic rattan, it often refers to PE, PVC, and PU rattan. Among these three materials, PE rattan is the most popular as it is made of plastic, mostly HDPE (High-density Polyethylene), with a series of additive materials including pigments, antioxidants, anti-UV agents, light stabilizers, etc. It is a kind of sustainable material that brings no

harm to the environment. Leisure Touch Rattan always produces its rattan through exquisite craftsmanship,

making the plastic rattan not only have the real look of natural rattan but also have lots of benefits to surviving outdoors.

3.      Aluminium

This material is suitable for outdoor furniture as it is both lightweight and strong, which can maintain good quality and survive for a long time outdoors. When aluminium furniture is time to be replaced, it can be collected and recycled by professional institutions. It can be recycled over and over, making it a premier choice for environmentalists.

Modular Seating

Outdoor furniture that is made of modular design is becoming a trend for most people since modular seating solutions offer convenience for people. This kind of sofa is normally crafted from individual parts which allow

people to rearrange or move the single seating based on their needs and preferences. Furthermore, if there are some stains on one of the components or if you want to replace a broken seating, you only need to purchase a new single

seating instead of replacing the whole set of furniture, which is cost-effective for the furniture owners. Coets‘ innovative modular sofa sets not only provide you with a convenient outdoor solution but also offer you an aesthetic

outdoor space with stylish and trendy designs.

Minimalist Style and Sleek Design

When people are selecting outdoor furniture, they now prefer to opt for furniture that is with minimalist design. This behaviour means that people are gently stepping away from bulky designs. Furniture pieces that have

clean lines, and simple geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles and circles have become people’s favourite picks. Besides, appealing minimalist and sleek design can seamlessly blend with nature, bringing people a well-balanced

outdoor living environment.
