Summer is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about sprucing up your patio. But where do you start? Choosing the right patio furniture, cushions, and decor can make all the difference in creating an inviting outdoor space that will be used for years to come. Let’s explore what you should consider when selecting the perfect patio furniture and accessories.

Choosing Your Patio Furniture

When choosing patio furniture, it’s important to select pieces that match your style and budget. A good place to start is by defining how much space you have for your patio furniture and what type of seating would work best for your needs. Consider the number of people you want to seat at a time as well as whether your seating needs will change over time. Once you have determined the amount of seating you need, it’s time to look at materials.

Wooden furniture is classic and timeless while metal offers more contemporary options with sturdy construction. Wicker is another popular choice—it’s lightweight but strong enough for outdoor use if it’s covered with a protective weatherproof coating every few years. If you are looking for low-maintenance pieces, investigate plastic chairs or benches that won’t rust or require painting. No matter which material you choose, make sure your furniture is designed for outdoor use so that it can withstand any inclement weather conditions such as rain or snow.

Cushions & Decor

Once you have chosen your patio furniture now comes the fun part—adding cushions! Patio cushions come in many different shapes, styles, fabrics, and colors so think about what style fits in with the rest of your outdoor decor. Choose washable fabrics if possible so that they can be easily cleaned after heavy use or spills. Look for cushions made from Sunbrella fabric since these are specifically designed to resist fading due to UV exposure from sunlight or water damage due to rain showers. When choosing colors and patterns, pick something neutral but still eye-catching; bright colors will add life to any outdoor space without overpowering it! The Foam Factory is the perfect place to find some awesome patio cushions at great prices.

Finally, accessorize!

Add rugs and throw pillows in coordinating colors/patterns along with plants (real or faux!) in planters or hanging baskets for extra color and texture. Lanterns make great accent pieces for lighting up your space during twilight hours; just remember to buy battery-operated ones if you don’t want cords running all over the place! Throw blankets are another great idea if you plan on spending cooler evenings outside; there are plenty of stylish options available today no matter what aesthetic vibe you’re going for!

With these tips in mind, we hope that this summer brings plenty of relaxation to your perfect patio oasis!
