How to Choose the Right Outdoor Lounge Setting

Your outdoor space is an extension of your home, and choosing the right outdoor furniture setting can transform it into a comfortable and inviting oasis. Whether you're looking to create a cosy reading nook, host a family game night, or entertain guests, there are a few key factors to consider when choosing the right outdoor lounge setting. In this blog, we'll provide you with a guide to help you choose the perfect outdoor furniture setting for your space.

Consider the Size of Your Space

Before you start shopping for your new lounge at Outdoor Furniture Ideas, it's important to consider the size of your outdoor space. Whether you have a small balcony or a large backyard, you'll want to choose a lounge setting that fits comfortably within your space. Take measurements of your outdoor area, including the width, length, and any unique features such as steps or corners. This will help you determine the appropriate size and shape of your new outdoor lounge setting. Our range of outdoor lounges feature corner sets, pre-selected lounge sets, and modular sofas that can adapt to any space!

Determine Your Style and Needs

When it comes to lounge settings, there are many styles and designs to choose from when you explore our catalogue. Are you looking for a traditional, rustic, or modern aesthetic? Do you need seating for two or a large group? Answering these questions will help you narrow down your options and choose furniture that complements your outdoor style and meets your needs. Our range of lounges includes a variety of sizes and styles, as well as colour options and customisable frames which will allow you to express your own personal style.

Choose Durable and Weather-Resistant Materials

Outdoor furniture is exposed to the elements year-round, so it's essential to choose materials that are durable and weather-resistant. Look for furniture made from materials such as aluminium or glass fibre reinforced polypropylene, which are known for their durability and resistance to moisture, UV rays, and temperature changes. Avoid furniture made from materials that are prone to rust, rot, or fading, such as untreated wood or cheap plastic. As an Australian business, Outdoor Furniture Ideas understands the requirements of outdoor furniture and that is why we hand-pick all of our lounges to be Australia Weather Resistant!

Invest in Quality Cushions and Accessories

While the frame of your outdoor lounge setting is important, so are the cushions and accessories that make it comfortable and inviting. Look for cushions made from high-quality, weather-resistant materials such as Sunbrella or Sunproof, which are designed to withstand sun, rain, and fading. Our outdoor cushion range features a wide variety of colours and styles that are machine washable.

Choosing the right outdoor furniture setting requires consideration of factors such as size, style, materials, and accessories. By following this guide, you can find the perfect outdoor lounge setting for your space and live on the inside-out all year-round. Remember to prioritise durability and weather-resistance when making your purchase, and invest in quality cushions and accessories to make your outdoor lounge area comfortable and cosy.
