Although located outside the four walls, patio is an integral part of any house. Here are some ideas for your outdoor patio furniture to spruce up the place.

Patio, or veranda, is a terrace or a paved area adjoining the house. For most of the people, it is a place to relax and unwind after a hard day's work. Patio furniture has to be cozy, comfortable, durable, and stylish. There exists a wide range of trendy and contemporary furniture styles that are functional.

Types of Patio Furniture

Most people love to have a dining set, replete with a dining table and chairs, in their patio. You can choose a dining set based on the type of patio you have, the space, the amount of exposure to sunlight, or other extreme weather conditions.

Preferably, pick a dining set with a minimum seating capacity of 4-6 people. Give priority to sturdy, yet stylish material of your choice for the chairs as well as the table.

You can even have the bistro sets that are quite in vogue these days. These are the table-chair sets that resemble the ones at trendy bistros and coffee joints. You can even have high seating chairs like the ones seen at bars.

In case you are looking for something more informal and relaxed, you can get some lounge furniture which can include a low-seated cozy couch with cushions, and may be a trendy center table to go with it.

In case your patio area is not located around your garden greens, you can include some potted plants around the furniture to lend a more refreshing appearance. In case you want to experiment, you can also have oriental low seating arrangement.

Creating a Theme

You can create interesting themes for your patio and build the entire area around that particular theme. For example, if you pick a tropical theme, then think of vibrant tropical colors for your furniture. Olive green, lemon yellow, and strawberry pink are some of the suggested colors, but you can even go for tropical prints.

A cool sun bathing chair and a bistro set might be perfect for this theme. Make sure you plant some exotic tropical flora around your furniture. To make the theme truly come alive, a small pond or a swimming pool might just be the cherry on the icing. Similarly, you can think of various themes and color schemes to deck up your patio.

For those who are looking for something truly unconventional, a jungle theme or a sports theme with a pool table/slot machines can make it a really fun and interesting place to be in. In case you are doing an Arabic theme, then comfortable seating with velvet or satin drapes will be perfect. Add a hookah to the scene to make it seem more authentic.

Taking Care of Your Furniture

Taking care of this sort of furniture should also be convenient and easy, and you should consider this while buying. Make sure you pick a material that is easy to clean, does not stain easily, and can sustain extreme weather conditions, as excessive and harsh sunlight or torrid rains can cause severe damage to the furniture.

Also, since it is extensively exposed to the outside atmosphere, there are greater chances of dust and dirt settling on its surfaces; hence, you must pick something that is easy to clean.
