With the multitude of choices you have in choosing the perfect outdoor furniture for your patio, the task can quickly become overwhelming. Personal style plays a role in finding the chair or dining set that will bring out the very best in your outdoor area, as does budget. But don't forget to keep in mind the area in which your new patio furniture will be placed.
Will you be setting up two chaise lounges underneath a large patio umbrella? Or do you need chairs or chaises to set near the pool, under the hot sun? Knowing that you have tables and chairs that will hold up well if left uncovered equals peace of mind, and that's what every homeowner needs more of.
Wicker has long been a type of furniture that stands out, indoors and outdoors. Centuries ago, woven baskets were all the rage. Thus began the world's infatuation with woven pieces of benches and other seating pieces, even beds. The obstacle of those times, and many years after wickers' inception, was that natural materials, although they held their own beauty and enchantment, were not easy to care for. For hundreds of years, though, wicker pieces were indeed made up of natural woods and reeds from nearby rivers. Even with the amount of work that would be required, and the limitations of natural wicker, this type of furniture flourished around the world.
Over time, thanks to advancements in technology, new materials have become available that mimic the look and appeal of wicker and require much less care. A dream come true! Outdoor wicker furniture that is appealing and charming, comfortable and affordable, can be a part of your own patio décor. Not only is the wicker of today more durable, it is also extremely stylish. Most of us have an idea of what a resin chair or loveseat would look like, and what we picture is most likely grandma's front porch rocking chair. That's not the case any longer. Many new designs are available today that are trendy and modern. Crisp lines and squared corners of deep seating pieces are striking when paired with woven resin in a natural color.
