They care for your outdoor areas, especially the patio or terrace. For us, it's even more important than interior design because the house's outdoor area is the first place other people see. It means that outdoor areas will define the first impression of what people think about your house and how they think about you because the house's look represents the owner's personality.
Most interior designers and professional architects agree that homeowners should get high-quality and good-looking furniture for their outer spaces, like balconies, patios, terraces, etc.
If the outer space of your house is not interesting, how would you make people interested in your interior design?
During the pandemic, a lot of people tend to spend time outdoors. Besides individual usage, doing business with outdoor furniture is also an interesting move. We have seen the tendency to purchase outdoor furniture for any business, such as the hospitality industry (hotel, restaurant), playgrounds, office terraces, etc. As well as public spaces like public parks, city gardens, schools, or university gardens.
Why should you invest in outdoor furniture?
1. Outdoor furniture is aesthetic.
Most outdoor furniture is made aesthetically. They are made from natural wood, rattan, bamboo, and others. The aesthetic value of furniture can be enhanced by using natural resources. You can ask yourself, which is more beautiful to be placed in a green garden, a rattan chair or a plastic chair?
People first see outdoor areas when they enter a house or building. Adding patio furniture to the outdoor areas not only does it enhance the look of the area but it also provides comfort so that everyone can enjoy and relax. Everyone prefers to enjoy a book or cup of tea outside a scenic garden rather than inside the house.
2. Outdoor furniture is long-lasting.
The other reason outdoor furniture is a smart investment is that it is more resistant to the weather. Outdoor furniture faces the sun and the rain most of the time. This has made outdoor furniture more durable than interior furniture. Because of this, manufacturers need to pay attention to quality.
3. Outdoor furniture is worth the price.
Outdoor furniture costs more than interior furniture, but it's worth the price. Here is an explanation. Outdoor furniture, especially natural ones like woven rattan outdoor furniture, is hand-made. Making outdoor furniture more expensive than furniture manufactured in large factories is reasonable. Outdoor furniture is durable as well. High-end and high-quality outdoor furniture will last for more than ten years. From an economic perspective, purchasing furniture that lasts ten years is wiser than replacing it each year. Some outdoor furniture companies even offer a warranty for durability and customer satisfaction.
What kind of outdoor furniture is better and more popular?
Rattan furniture is the most popular outdoor furniture. Outdoor rattan furniture is woven-style furniture that is made of rattan cane. It is always suitable to be placed in any garden or outdoor area style.
Rattan furniture can adapt to all weather. They tend to be resistant to water and harsh environments. Rattan furniture has its aesthetic, with its beautiful, warm tone. This condition has made outdoor rattan furniture long-lasting. Outdoor furniture is also lightweight, which makes it more comfortable to use and move.
How to take care of outdoor rattan furniture
Proper maintenance makes outdoor rattan furniture durable, so you shouldn't change it yearly. Grooves are essential for rattan furniture. So, the basic maintenance is to clean and brush the grooves regularly. When it's not in use, it is better to cover the rattan furniture and place it in a dry place. Another method is wiping the surface with a damp cloth and soapy water. During use, it is highly recommended not to sit on the arm of the chair.
What to buy along with outdoor rattan furniture?
1. Patio umbrella.
There are two types of patio umbrellas: market umbrellas and Cantilever patio umbrellas. A market umbrella is a patio umbrella with a pole in the middle. It can be stood on the ground or attached to a table. At the same time, the cantilever patio umbrella is always freestanding, with a pole that can rotate and be tilted. So, you can bend the pole and cover the area of your furniture. With a cantilever patio umbrella, you can also easily change the position of the shade based on the sun's position. This is perfect if you have a small space in your outdoor area because the umbrella can be placed in the corner to save space.
When you buy a patio umbrella, you will also need a base (which is usually included). A cantilever umbrella usually requires a heavier base of 50kg, while a market umbrella can be lighter for 15kg. You might also need to assemble the patio umbrella by yourself as they will come in separate pieces. So, please make sure that every part is tightly screwed.
Also, remember that patio umbrellas give great protection from the sun, but they might be fragile in water. So, when the patio umbrella gets wet from the rain, let it dry quickly before folding it.
2. Outdoor furniture covers.
It's always better to hide outdoor furniture from the rain. But it must be a struggle to move the furniture every time it rains, especially in a country with high rain intensity. So, you should invest in outdoor furniture covers, and you can easily cover and hide your outdoor furniture whenever it rains, or you are not using it.
Before buying an outdoor furniture cover, make sure you know the dimensions. Measure the furniture carefully because they're all made in different sizes and shapes. As a next step, see what kind of protection they offer, such as waterproofing, UV protection, wind protection, etc.
3. Outdoor furniture cushions
You always need cushions for your outdoor seating furniture. They give an aesthetic look, and cushions make furniture more comfortable to sit on. Make sure that you buy the correct-sized cushion that fits your furniture. If not, the cushion will easily slip or not even fit in the chair. To avoid slipping, you can also attach cushion ties.
Do not ever let the cushions wet to avoid the development of mold and mildew. During the day, you can also protect the cushions from the sun under an umbrella to prevent color fading. If you don't have a shade or umbrella to protect the cushions, you can order the cushions covers with a UV protector and fading resistance.
Final thoughts
The outdoor area of the house is where everyone can relax. After a long day of work, sitting quietly in your outer space is one of the easiest ways to heal. So, it is important to keep your outdoor space beautiful and comfortable.
