Transforming your patio into a cosy haven requires careful consideration and the right choice of outdoor furniture. Whether you're an avid entertainer or someone who enjoys quiet evenings outdoors, selecting the perfect patio furniture is crucial for both comfort and style.

At Yardware, we pride ourselves on being among the leading outdoor furniture stores dedicated to assisting our clients in choosing the perfect pieces to turn their patio into the envy of the neighbourhood.

1. Define Your Outdoor Space

Consider the dimensions, layout, and any specific architectural features of your outdoor space. Are you working with a spacious deck or a compact balcony? Understanding your space will guide you in selecting the right-sized furniture and prevent overcrowding.

2. Materials Matter

The material you choose is vital when it comes to outdoor furniture. At Yardware, we utilised Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC). This material stands out as a versatile and durable option. GRC seamlessly combines the strength of concrete with the lightweight and weather-resistant properties of glass fibres. This material is not only contemporary and stylish but also resistant to the harsh outdoor elements. At Yardware, all our pieces are curated using GRC materials.

3. Comfort is Key

No matter how stylish your patio furniture is, it won't be enjoyable if it's not comfortable. Test the seating options in-store whenever possible, paying attention to factors like cushion thickness and back support. If you're shopping online, read reviews to get a sense of other customers' comfort experiences.

Investing in quality cushions and pillows is another way to enhance comfort. Look for weather-resistant fabrics that can withstand sun exposure and occasional rain showers.

4. Maintenance and Durability

Consider the level of maintenance you're willing to commit to. Some materials, like wood, require regular repainting or staining, while other, like GRC, are virtually maintenance-free. Ensure that the furniture you choose is durable enough to withstand your climate and the wear and tear of regular use.

5. Style Harmony

Your outdoor space should be an extension of your home's interior style. Whether your taste is modern, traditional, or eclectic, choose patio furniture that complements the existing aesthetic of your home. This creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

6. Weather Resistance

Your patio furniture will be exposed to the elements, so it's essential to choose pieces that can withstand rain, sun, and varying temperatures. Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is a weather-resistant marvel, effortlessly standing up to the elements with its durable composition, making it an ideal choice for outdoor furniture.

7. Storage Solutions

Even the most durable outdoor furniture benefits from proper storage during harsh weather conditions. If possible, invest in covers or a storage solution to protect your furniture when it's not in use. This extends the lifespan of your patio set and keeps it looking pristine.

Choosing outdoor furniture for your patio is an exciting opportunity to enhance your outdoor living experience.
