15 Outdoor Patio Sets That Will Have You Lounging All Summer Long
If you're lucky enough to have an outdoor space, finding the right outdoor patio set is key. Since your patio is an extension of your home, it's important to find pieces that not only fit your style but also suit your needs.
"Whether it's a veranda, porch, patio, or deck, your outdoor living space is an essential part of the home," Leah Howatson, vice president of marketing at Castlery, tells Hunker. "Patio sets are an easy and cost-effective way to transform your outdoor space into a sociable and welcoming area for lounging, parties, al fresco dinners, and summer nights."
What to Consider When Buying an Outdoor Patio Set
Shopping for outdoor furniture can be just as overwhelming as finding indoor furniture, but there are a few things to keep in mind that will help narrow picks down easier, including your patio size, the climate you live in, and the materials the outdoor furniture is made of.
Patio Size
According to Howatson, start with your patio's exact measurement and shape to help you pick the perfect patio set. If you have a small patio, consider a bistro set — preferably one that folds — to make the most of your space. If you have a large patio, you have more leeway and can opt for anything from large modular sets to spacious sectionals with fire pits.
Any piece of furniture will last longer if you maintain it, but outdoor furniture made with weather-resistant and other outdoor-friendly materials is an investment worth making.
"Select a high-quality outdoor patio set made from materials that are resistant to rain, sun, and other bad weather conditions," Howatson says. But even with durable materials, we recommend protecting your patio furniture with outdoor furniture covers for even more longevity.
The climate goes hand in hand with materials, but it's always something you should think about when decorating your patio. For example, if you live in a place that rains often or plan on leaving your furniture out all year long, it's crucial to opt for a patio set that's durable and can withstand tough weather. Or if you have the space, be prepared to find an option that's easier to move indoors and outdoors when inclement weather strikes.
Along with climate, also consider how much sun your patio gets. If your spot is extra sunny, find a patio set that comes with a patio umbrella, or be ready to invest in one.
"This will help to protect you from the worst of the summer sun and ensure your seating area is a great place to be throughout the day," Howatson says.
