5 Things to Know Before Buying Outdoor Furniture

Purchasing outdoor furniture is an investment in more ways than one. Of course, you are procuring thoughtful design and functionality, but don’t forget, you are also investing in years of outdoor leisure. Are you ready to make the right investment? Find out the best time of year to buy outdoor furniture and 5 tips to remember when you are shopping!

GET INSPIRED! DISCOVER AMAZING OUTDOOR SPACES.

Before setting foot inside a furniture showroom, we encourage you to discover the boundless possibilities of outdoor design. There are a million avenues for exploration––stroll through your local botanical garden, country club, or luxury hotel…or simply scroll through your social media feed. Inspiration is everywhere!

It’s easy to get lost in an ocean of ideas. Whether you clip magazine features or “pin” photos onto a digital mood board, be sure to organize your inspiration in an easy-to-use format so you can revisit your favorite looks.

DEFINE YOUR OUTDOOR STYLE.

Once you’ve explored the dazzling depth of design possibilities, you will need to narrow down your favorites. This is the fun part! It’s time to define your personal style. Taking your lifestyle, household habits, and aesthetic preferences into consideration, do you gravitate towards a modern, traditional, or transitional style?

And we should mention––light research can go a long way. For instance, did you know that certain colors can influence mood? Or which fabric palettes and patterns are trending this season? Catch up on some reading; we have simple guides for selecting your perfect outdoor palette and the latest outdoor fabric trends.

KNOW YOUR LOCATION AND CLIMATE.

Secondly, consider the climate. Weather will certainly impact your outdoor living space––be sure the furniture you select is prepared to withstand the elements it will be living in. If you are looking to purchase furniture for your suburban home, you can feel confident in choosing any of our materials.
